Waiting for Secret Reviewer, Waiters Ignore Ordinary-Looking Woman Unaware It Is Her \u2013 Story of the Day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake worked as a waiter at a restaurant. One day, their restaurant was under review by a mysterious critic, and his boss ordered all attention to go to the critic. Jake, however, continued to serve whatever customer needed help, and this served him well in the end.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake was an aspiring chef who worked as a waiter at a local restaurant. Finding a job in the kitchen had been difficult, so he figured he\u2019d find whatever job he could in a restaurant and work his way from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While waiting tables wasn\u2019t what he wanted to do in the long run, he grew to love his job. Moreover, he generally loved serving others. That is one of the reasons he was drawn to cooking; it was one of the best ways he could serve his family growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He could never buy expensive gifts for them, but he could always use the little at his dispense in the kitchen to put a smile on their faces. And that was enough for Jake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One morning, Jake\u2019s manager, Rob, summoned Jake and the rest of the staff for a meeting. Jake and the staff waited for their manager, nervously murmuring amongst themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat could we have done wrong now?\u201d some staff members said in hushed tones.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rob was a tough manager whose sternness bordered on crude at times. He tended to talk down on his staff and overlooked customers he deemed unworthy of his time or attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room instantly fell silent as Rob entered the kitchen. The staff parted like the red sea for Rob as he sauntered in, throwing his weight around as he usually did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, listen up! I need all of you to be on your A-game today! None of the half-baked stuff you usually give me!\u201d Rob said rather crudely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s so different about today?\u201d Jake asked confidently. Jake never took too kindly to how Rob addressed them and always made it a point not to entertain his insults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m glad you asked, Jake. I just got word that a secret reviewer will be visiting us. Apparently, he or she is a renowned internet restaurant connoisseur. So, we have to make sure we give it our all today. No slip-ups!\u201d Rob explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of them running around like headless chickens for one critic didn\u2019t sit well with Jake. He felt good service ought to be a standard and norm for any restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He often imagined how he would one day run his own establishment; from his perspective, this was not how things ought to be done. But, unfortunately, as Rob would often remind him, he was there to do his job and not share his opinions, so he kept his head down and went on about his day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat do you think you are doing? Didn\u2019t I tell you we are focusing on the man?! Are you trying to drive this business to the ground?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That day all the staff was on the lookout for the critic. Rob was inspecting every customer, trying to decipher who the reviewer may be. He finally came across a man in a flashy suit and an expensive watch. He was certain this was the critic they had been looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Rob gathered the staff and ordered them to focus all their attention on that particular customer. All other customers, even our regulars, would have to come second that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waiters were ordered to put on a show for the man. They danced around near him and feigned smiles to win him over. They attended to his every need, taking away used napkins every minute. Even the cook diligently prepared his dishes as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, while everyone was putting on a performance for the man, Jake noticed a modestly dressed woman who hadn\u2019t been served. She had been assigned a waitress, but her waitress\u2019 attention was on the spectacle Rob had organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, ma\u2019am. I hope you are well. Have you been served yet?\u201d Jake kindly asked with a warm smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, young man. A young lady said she\u2019d help me, but she seems preoccupied at the moment. I\u2019ve asked her to help me three times already. I\u2019ve been waiting for almost 20 minutes,\u201d the lady said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry to hear that. But don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll be your waiter today,\u201d Jake said warmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jake took the lady\u2019s order, Rob stared at him in frustration. As Jake approached the kitchen with the woman\u2019s order, Rob began to lay it on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you think you are doing? Didn\u2019t I tell you we are focusing on the man?! Are you trying to drive this business to the ground?\u201d Rob barked loudly, catching the attention of the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Rob. I understand, but I can\u2019t just ignore the rest of our customers for one man,\u201d Jake retorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can and will if you want to keep your job!\u201d Rob said before stomping off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty minutes passed, and the woman\u2019s order was still not ready. Jake went to the kitchen to check on the woman\u2019s order, only to find out the chef hadn\u2019t started on her order yet. He was still working on the man\u2019s meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m tired of your excuses! You\u2019re fired! Now get your stuff and get out of my face!\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jake decided he would bring her one of his favorite starters, which was already prepared, to apologize for the delay. He even insisted he would pay for it out of his own pocket. The woman was grateful, but Rob was fuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man, having finished his meal, finally left. The moment he exited the door, Rob called for yet another staff meeting. He applauded the staff for their work and then turned to Jake with a scowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you! You think you can just do as you please, huh?\u201d Rob snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, sir. I just thought it was\u2014\u201d Jake started before Rob rudely interrupted, tearing at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m tired of your excuses! You\u2019re fired! Now get your stuff and get out of my face!\u201d Rob snarled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jake was heartbroken. It had taken him a lot to finally get this job. And this was supposed to be his foot into the door to finally becoming a chef. He had already been rejected by every other restaurant out there. This was his last hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake was devastated, but he did as he was told. The next day he received several calls from restaurants offering him a job saying they heard of him from the critic\u2019s review of the restaurant he used to work at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake was baffled, he decided to investigate. He finally found the review from the critic. It turned out that the woman he was serving was the actual reviewer, not the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reviewer\u2019s article completely criticized the restaurant and the food. The only good thing the article singled out was a welcoming, professional, well-mannered waiter named Jake, who cared about the client and tried his best to make her visit pleasurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the review came out, Jake was able to get a job at one of the best restaurants in town. After a few months as a waiter, he eventually got a job as one of the senior chefs at the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
