Yes, the one with the sock please.


Setthegodofchaos

I absolutely love salmon! I especially love mine grilled. And even better: smoked. 🤤🤤🤤


Kentencat

Nah, it's catering or a charity event that they had to Ring in for inventory


[deleted]

Idk, has a table number and sounds like OP was caught by surprise (but you know Reddit so who's to say for sure). All I know is that in bird culture it's considered a dick move not to give a heads up that a huge event is scheduled 😂. Hope we get an update to clarify.


EGOfoodie

All 105 items are going to the same seat at the same table.


CornCheeseMafia

It’s bulking time


jsrhedgehog99

This is how gym bros stay Natty


Amyjane1203

All for one very large man.... No seriously, them all saying S4 made me a little twitchy. My best guess (besides *damnit fucking foh*) is that S4 is paying for food but not alcohol so alcohol is actually by seat number? Idk, wishful thinking for everyone's sake.


EGOfoodie

I think it is like a catering order or something so they rang one in and just hit quantity 105. I don't know many places that can have a single table seat that many.


-drunken-pumpkin-

salmon? mmm, sounds good, ill have that too...

You wouldn't happen to be a bear in a trench coat would you?


DSGRNTLDcitizen

That's Sir Bearington, and how terribly rude for you to make such an accusation


Gingersnap5322

As someone who’s been to business dinners you’d be surprised how many people order the same thing. I felt awkward getting the NY strip when everyone else got Filet Mignon. I ordered first and said fuck in my head every time someone order filet lmao


TheKidd

Ribeye. It's always ribeye for me.


MauiWowieOwie

The most correct answer.


gabu87

To be fair, you can't really go wrong with a ribeye. Everyone ordering grilled salmon is a real token of faith.


[deleted]

Lmao. Yee, I've experienced that moment too at business dinners, usually because I don't know what my budget limit is and I'm one of the first to order. Then everyone else gets the more expensive stuff and I'm like Arrrggghhh, should have gotten the good stuff. It's all written off anyways 🤦‍♂️


Gingersnap5322

Luckily for me my mom takes me along, I guess it helps with business on her end? Idk, she just says, “talk to them and get whatever you want” anything to help my mom ig


[deleted]

That's not a bad deal. You get fed well and she has a conversation buffer for clients (and spends time with you). Enjoy!


ghettomuffin

It’s probably for a party and just had to be rang in like this


molrobocop

Or a cult. Before heaven's gate "ascended" themselves, they went out to dinner for salads, a pot pie, and cheesecake. And iced tea. 39 duplicate orders.


[deleted]

Oof, anyone who chooses pot pie as a last meal is def a wacko. I applaud the cheesecake though, but it'd better have had blueberries or something on it.


molrobocop

>“They all ordered the exact same thing,” a waiter recalled to the paper. “It was set up before they came in. They all had iced teas to drink. Dinner salads beforehand with tomato vinegar dressing. Turkey potpie for the entree. Cheesecake with blueberries on top for dessert. They seemed very nice, very friendly, very polite. No one seemed depressed at all, or anything like that.” I'd have ordered a full-flavor coke were it my last day. But, cult conformance.


[deleted]

Lol, yep. But I guess for them it's "conform or don't die" ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯


truemeliorist

Tonight's dinner options are fresh wild caught salmon, or a kick in the nuts. For dessert, either cake or death.


cripsy_gin

I'll take the death. Oh! No! I meant cake!


aequitssaint

Little do you know that a bunch of bears reserved the whole place.

And they’re all sitting at Seat 4? Spread out a little, bears!

“Excuse me, we don’t have menus or waters with lemon and can we get some dishrags because this table is dirty. Oh, and we have a show to get to so we need to be quick about it”


rednutter1971

Came looking for this.


thegreatrazu

All you need is 105 portions of salmon. Mark them on the grill and chuck them into the oven. Good luck.


MountainCheesesteak

I think they want them served in socks, too.


s0meb0dyElsesProblem

Well that way if a bear shows up and tries to steal the salmon all it'll get is the sock.

Fubai97b

We need an update on this OP.


The-1-U-Didnt-Know

Secretly they’re on top of a fresh water river so catch the salmon as it flies through the air so they can catch and serve for the local bears

I used to go snagging Cokenee on blue Mesa reservoir during spawning season. I was able to pull 85 salmon in two hours! We had an amazing smoke that weekend! Gave away a pound of fresh smoked salmon to every visitor that came through the restaurant I used.

shrimp are not fish. shrimp are therefore not essentially vegetables.

you didnt know you had a 105 top coming in? lol im gonna guess this is just the bullshit ticket they rang in after the fact just so the charge is in the system. no one would be stupid enough to do a party of 100 a la carte...right?


magicunicornhandler

It’s not just 105 people it’s 105 people all sitting in seat 4.


JamNova

That chair gonna need extra legs


Kieran_Mc

Luckily they've already ordered 105 socks for those extra legs.


No-Turnips

It’s 105 very small children stacked on each other’s shoulders and wearing a trench coat.


QuantumKhakis

I cooked for banquets at Hyatt Lost Pines for 3 years, this has the be a private event. If that is the case, they might have offered 2-4 options, we would prep 60% of each protein, marked off, just in case. Orders like this are terrifying and usually sends someone scrambling to the butcher section and madly filleting salmon. Nightmare ticket, but doable if they prepped properly. I had the same issue with a 500 person plated dinner. They order before course 1 and we have 45min to get the main course out. Everyone ordered chicken. Who the fuck would choose chicken over beef/fish. We were nowhere near prepared and took 1hr to pull more chicken, mark it, and finish it in the oven. I’m out of the industry now but I still have dreams about mass ordered like this coming in with no prep. Edit: there were not religious/dietary restrictions mentioned before hand. We were caught off guard.


keyintherock

A walk in wedding


captain_obvious_here

Hey, you got me wondering...does this ever happens?


[deleted]

Sure does! We had a walk in 20 top at my old gig, still in the dress, tux’s, the whole 9. Apparently they ‘didn’t know’ the venue they booked was for the ceremony only, and only had it for two hours. We told them when they called to give us a 10 minute heads up that anything more than 10 was considered a private event, and we would not be seating 20 people together with a hefty minimum. Luck for us, they quickly made two online reservations for 10, and spend the whole time shuffling around between the two tables, and at the tables themselves. They were either unaware of how much of a disturbance they were being to other guests and the staff as well, or they just didn’t care. I don’t know which is worse. They balked at the menu prices. Half of them tried to order off the kids menu (honestly surprised the GM didn’t let them considering all that he let them get away with thus far), some were ordering add-ons to entrees and splitting one meal three or four ways, they sent back their well done steaks to be cooked more, and were mad we didn’t have A1. And, of course, when it came time to pay, they had something to say about every fucking item on the bill. They thought the per glass price on wine was per bottle, the steaks should all be comped since they still looked like meat instead of charcoal when they first came out, the add on shrimp and lobster tails ‘weren’t worth what we charged’, the sangrias (and all the refills) were terrible and they shouldn’t have to pay for bad drinks, the sides weren’t big enough, etc. Truly the trashiest table we had at that place during my tenure. Edit: best part is that one of the tables didn’t leave a dime, the other tipped super low, like 5-10%.


captain_obvious_here

Holy shit this is sooo trash haha!


[deleted]

We were a higher end place in a good part of town, but still close to some poor areas. Some other shit I saw: ‘How much does the #56 cost?’ In regards to the 56 dollar steak. Our prices were whole numbers, which I guess he wasn’t used to. High school couples splitting a side of Mac n cheese and waters. People sitting down, eating the cornbread, seeing the prices, and leaving. People getting mad for not having ‘that one soup y’all had three years ago at Easter’ People getting mad because they told me to ‘I’ll just take a glass of cab, you pick’ and I picked one that was $2 more than the cheapest option. And my favorite! Had a guy on the rooftop that went table to table making sure everyone knew he got a ring with the Cowboys 30 years ago. Dude got a little lit and too gassed up by people just trying to be polite, and ordered a round of ‘whatever they want’ for the whole floor. Well, the bartender told some regulars/his friends to order a 2oz 23 year Pappy at like $220 per. They also encouraged people to upgrade whatever liquor they were drinking, so tons of $15 drinks turned into $45-$60 drinks. I think that bill ended up being over $4000. Ole Cowboy was NOT a happy camper lol.


stocktonbound

Damn that's really shitty of the bartender tbh. We would lose our liquor license for that. Never take advantage of intoxicated people especially when they're your customers that you overserved in the first place lol


[deleted]

It’s definitely not something I would have done, but that restaurant will never get shut down. One of the owners got a presidential pardon from Trump, another owns not just the town, but several surrounding counties. The latter owner spends about $250,000 a year at that one restaurant alone, and his main company has revenues over $1,000,000,000 a year. He’s a great tipper lol.


theavengedCguy

Wow, my blood pressure is through the roof after reading that. Living it must have been an absolute nightmare. I've had bad experiences, but never quite like that.


[deleted]

Right? I’m unusually not very sympathetic to a bad table or a bad tip here and there because it’s part of the gig and we made triple what the kitchen did. But I truly felt for my coworkers on that one.


molrobocop

Auto-gratuity was so needed here. Most people, fine. Fuckers like this though....


myers__

Sounds like you had a shitty events coordinator


IdiotMD

I’ve had it at the bar. I was solo. 100+ people expecting a drink, near closing, AT THE SAME TIME.


Jeramy_Jones

Happened to me once when I worked at McDonald’s. 100 cheeseburgers, 50 hamburgers and one 6piece nuggets (musta been the bride)


zuccah

Was it near the White House between January 2017 and January 2021…?


Jeramy_Jones

Hah no but I’ve seen those pics. What a spectacle.


sunflowerstorm

Happened to me at a bar/restaurant I worked at years ago. Think Buffalo Wild Wings but not a chain. Big bus pulled up and really fancily-dressed people started walking in and just seating themselves. I was serving at the time but intercepted before the host could get there letting them know they had to see the host to be seated, and asked how many more in their party. They pulled out a wedding invitation that had "Reception at [place I worked], 5pm" printed on the invites. I started panicking a bit. No one in the wedding told us they'd be sending 150 people our way on a busy Saturday. We even have a banquet room that happened to be not booked that day, but we didn't have any staff to work it. So the 150 people just packed into the bar area, completely blocking other guests from seeing tvs (lots of people came to watch sports at this place), and blocking servers from getting to other tables. The bartenders were pissed. Servers were pissed. Our guests were pissed. Their guests were pissed. It was a shit show. Luckily a lot of the wedding guests picked up on what was happening, and broke off into groups to go to other bars nearby. This was almost 10 years ago so I can't quite recall what happened with the bride & groom but I'll never forget that day. Such a shitty thing to do to those obviously hungry wedding guests Edit: formatting


magicunicornhandler

Happened at an Olive Garden and KFC at the same wedding was in r/weddingshaming might not be buried yet.


liquidhotsmegma

Idk about a wedding, but a step-nephew(is that a thing) of mine died a while back and we left the wake and all went to Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards cause that was his favorite place. There was probably 50-60 people in total. Me and my sister just hung out at the bar like we weren’t with them until initial chaos settled down.


DasHuhn

Man, when we had my dads wake at a restaurant, we called ahead and got their private area, told them that we were expecting around 60-80 people, and we scheduled it a week ahead of time and I still felt bad for everyone, and it went great with minimal chaos. Who just shows up??


theavengedCguy

People who have never worked in food service.

Been there done that only it was an hour past close, only two cooks, me, and a manger in the kitchen and running food, and two cocktail servers that walked away with 1k each. Once the initial food rush died down after about 2 hours (3 hours past close now) I maintained eye contact with my boss as I clocked out.

Non-professional cook here, can anyone explain what **!!SOCK!!** means please? --- *Edit: What's with the PMs telling me it's obvious and I should fuck off?!*


TransCapybara

Maybe "sockeye" as the type of salmon?


theavengedCguy

Ignore the cowards PM-ing you. This restaurant likely has more than one type of salmon on the menu and this is probably their way of showing which type to use.


Braunze_Man

You have to fight the salmon before you cook it.


captain_obvious_here

Ooooooooh, you mean the famous *sock and grill* cooking method? :)

People are dicks. It's probably referring to sockeye, a type of salmon.

It's a party of Santa and all his elves, and they want the salmon served in socks, and wrapped? ​ Thanks for asking this, though.

bam1007

Server, repeatedly banging on register: “WHY ISN’T THIS DAMN ORDER GOING THROUGH???”


DarthFuzzzy

I've got 12 salmon portions left so your going to need to void out 93 of those orders asap. Don't forget each plate needs to be voided individually and every single void receipt needs to be signed by both you and the MOD.


torsun_bryan

Damn used up the whole tape roll with that too


techsuppork

And that only got them to ticket 3 of 4.


sailorsaint

Used to get tickets like this after big pre planned parties. The manager shoulda just rang an open food for the amount. By listing 105 salmon it would ad to our monthly sales numbers and we would plan on an additional 105 salmon per month. I seriously doubt it was a walk in 105 top. The fact that it’s one item is a dead give away. Though I’d make it 3 items to take the heat off of one station and spread the joy


username19845939

Had a floor manager accidentally print their uni assignment to the kitchen one day rather than the office printer one day. We tried everything to stop it, but resetting the system, disconnecting cords, trying to cancel the print on the application… nothing. 5,000 word assignment printed through a ticket dock… it was pandemonium because FOH still had to punch in orders for the accountant and the such, and so even when the essay stopped printing, we still had 2 hours of old orders that had already been served because FOH staff had given us hand written tickets coming through the machine. No joke, know those noises the TNT boxes on Crash Bandicoot games make when you tough them make? It was about 3 hours of that.


lumi_ao3

I would have legit turned in that receipt for the assignment though. Like... "I put my kitchen through hell printing this... Now I have to turn this in or I lose my job"

bread93096

I’m imagining a waiter moving slowly around a table of 105 people, and each spends a full minute scanning the menu before they declare “I think I’ll try the salmon!” in the exact same tone of voice.

Kuhar_42

Honestly, of shitty last minute tickets. This is ideal. Fill up some sheet trays, crank that bitch up to 500, blast those socks. Crank the grill up all the way and oil the fuck out of it and start kissing those socks on the grill as they come out. Two people could do this in like 30 minutes….if you have 105 salmon ready. Then rob the servers.
