How does one go about becoming a regular at a place without getting run off? My favorite place for breakfast recently informed me I was unwelcome and I've got no idea what I did.

Interesting. My hygiene is already very good.

>> No.6482108

Been there, pal. I wasn't informed per se but I got enough dirty looks at the cafe where I used to frolic about that I knew they must have had a problem with me. It was a hip place so I knew my sexual orientation wasn't to blame. I spent most of the time there on my phone and had Eggs Benedict and a delicious big cappucino. Mmm.

Yeah, it's sad because some real cuties that made me feel kind of stiff in the pants served there too. I couldn't stand the dirty looks. Maybe I'll return someday and give them a piece of my mind.

I tip very well, and while the waitress is a smokin' milf, I am socially retarded and don't know how to flirt. I do stick around for a bit though, usually an hour. But there's always free space when I'm there.

Last two times I was there, huge parts of my order were missing and they wouldn't fix it OR take it off my bill. So now I don't go there anymore. The food was so good too

I'm not going to be run off of my own board. I wasnt getting dirty looks because I'm insufferable. They were probably xenophobic by nature considering I was never a true regular and when I did come in I was usually on my phone and when I get hooked with one waitress in particular I get a bit flirty because she's so ditzy I think why not fuck with her a little, her hipster stupid brain won't know how to handle it if i get a little weird anyway.

OP, yeah, just another opinion weighing in that you're pretty far from normal in not asking why they said you weren't welcome.

If you're that far outside the norm, and know you're socially awkward, I'd guess that it's something subtle that you do that just made people uncomfortable. Maybe you stare at servers or customers. Maybe you eat messily and chew with your mouth open. Maybe you talk too loudly on your phone. Maybe you come across as angry when you're ordering or asking for something. Could be any of a thousand little things like that. It would actually be a good idea to call them up and ask politely; explain that you have some personality issues and want to try and work on whatever caused offense.

Or there's a good chance it was for no specific reason, people working in a restaurant sometimes just want to make drama and shit on customers.

On the other hand, you seem like someone who might be paranoid and take things personally when they are not. They might have just hired terrible staff or just dropped in quality of service for some reason. Or maybe they just always had shitty service and you just never noticed it until you had a reason to complain about the food. Maybe check yelp and see if other people have similar problems?

I'm a total social reject also, OP. I've just been through enough shit to say 'Fuck it' and somehow that turned me into an autist who can't conform to social constructs anymore.

I have noticed that only a small percentage of people have a problem with people who are different from them. And those are the people who have the most problems within themselves.

If asked to leave somewhere where I wasn't causing a scene or any harm, I'm not sure I would ask 'why' either. Just accept that they have their own reasons and be done with it. I couldn't place a call like >>6482272 suggested, though.

I worked a summer at IHOP back in high school and we had a waitress working there that was legit out of her fucking mind. She seemed to live for stirring shit up with the customers.

This is why I purposefully DON'T want to ever be a "regular" at a place. I don't need that shit. I quit going to a particular grocery store here because the employees started talking to me every time I came in like they knew me. At first, it was just "hey there, how are you" or "nice to see you again", but IT NEVER FAILS to get more and more personal as time goes on. By the time I quit going there, a few of the employees were asking oddly personal questions about me and my family, and that's just plain uncomfortable. I have my own life with my own friends, thanks, I don't need my cashier to know all the intimate details of my life. Same with restaurants. The more they know about you, the weirder it gets.

I genuinely don't get why they would tell you to stop coming to their restaurant, though. As one other Anon said, maybe it was some sort of social faux pas, but even then, if you're as socially incapable as you say you are, they should have noticed. This either means that you don't come over as asocial as you think you do, or it means that you did nothing wrong and the staff are just being a bunch of dicks for sending away one of their regulars.

I'll have you know I'm a white, aryan, Swedish, cis male and I'm the shitlordiest of them all. I pretend to take care of immigrants, while actually taking them in as my slaves; meaning I use them for target practice and for feeding the remaining slaves.
Wherever I go shitskins bow before me, and if they dare speak up I have them executed on the spot.
The best part is that the police is too pussy to do anything and the typical Swedish will look the other way or be grumpy in silence.
God, I love this country.

Yeah, uh thats just drivel.. This is what really happened: OP is a straight white male that was acting comfortable in a place which is probably in commiefornia.. Everyones socially retarded, what the fuck does that even mean anymore? Its pretty much just a false belief about yourself, i mean other than your looks.

Heres what you do.. write, a neutral, truthful yelp review detailing what happened and make yourself sound like a normal person.. print it out, walk into the place angry and ask to talk to the head manager, hand him the paper and tell him what happened, calmly but angry.. Without reacting or waiting for him to react just walk out the door and never come back.. Those people will likely be fired or at least scolded.. And if the arent, that place is really shitty and abnormal. This kind of crap is highly despised within any kind of business even if you looked like jeffery dahlmer.

I have unfortunately been hearing alot about this HORSESHIT happening in CA.. It is obviously very wrong. All the times ive heard people complain, they are ALWAYS scolded. Ive known people who where scolded like this and they said it threatened their job.. Things just look different from the other side, those people are usually ALWAYS disciplined.. dont underestimate the power of legitimacy if you arent afraid to use it.

Was this some kind of hipster joint? If so i wouldnt even worry about it, that crap is normal.

This is unacceptable on so many levels and it it's something that affects everyone. OP is too nice to be asked to stand up for himself and all of us, but the service industry will continue to decline until people are accountable for despicable displays like this one. Let's army for OP, guise

This is why you can't be a regular. Regulars don't objectify the waitstaff. She knew what you were doing and complained all the time about the weird guy that was always oggling her, maybe you got a little extra weird and finally the house decided you weren't worth it.

I work in food service. There's an acceptable amount of creepy/crazy/dangerous/rude/out of line that we'll deal with.

You overstepped the line, and they decided that your $20 tab every week was not worth it.

When stuff is missing from your order you need to point it out right away. When the service is very bad, this means waiting until your food is cold and untouched, but if it gets to that point the wait staff will usually comp or make you new stuff.

When you point out something wrong after having eaten the whole thing the waitstaff thinks you're trying to screw them over. People do this all the time. I've had people gobble down costly steak and lobster dinners then complain that everything was overcooked. After they've eaten everything. After I do the check up after 2-5 minutes once they've received the food (gives them time to make sure everything's in order), halfway through their food/when a drink needs refilling, and at the end of their food.

Lots of people try to get free food by acting like assholes. Unfortunately they usually get it, because an unhappy asshole will tip nothing, and an asshole that got a free drink and free dessert will tip slightly under normal.

I forget that once you have kids you're not allowed to have someone else cook for your family once in a while. Or if you do, you have to go to some crappy restaurant like Chuckie Cheeze or McDonald's.
