What are your restaurant red flags?

[A.P. Hill]

If you are eating at an ethnic restaurant in an area with a lot of said ethnicity, run if there are none of them in the restaurant.

If you're in Arizona and there's no Mexicans eating in the Mexican restaurant it's probably cheap slop.

A "help wanted" or "now hiring" sign.

Anyplace that keep reminding you that they’re “local” or “only eat local”. Imo they’re using this to hide the fact their food sucks. There is a small local chain around where I live. They always do the whole “eat local only” shit and every time, I hear people complain about getting sick from there.

I have a place by me that heavily markets "local" and they are the best restaurant in the city. I want to work there tbh.

I actually like pictures of dishes, but you never see it at restaurants that are more expensive than $15 a plate.

A good menu description and omitting the dollar sign on the menu lets you charge like 7 bucks more per entree.

Ideally you want a restaurant full of customers of the country of origin, you want a ramen spot full of Japs, a Peruvian spot full of mestizos, an Italian joint full of fat loud goombas, that’s the food you wanna eat. White & black people are not known for their good taste in food generally in America, just look in any Applebee’s or TGI Friday’s, it’s full of pasty white fats & ape nigs.

The last time I went to Applebee's I was with my dad and we meant to go to an Indian place. He was feeling a bit sick to the stomach and wanted something that wouldn't annihilate his bowels so we went to applebees instead. I forgot what we ordered but the food was so bad we went and got sandwiches after, it was like hungry man dinner reheated twice.

Remember that “no free refills” thing I mentioned earlier? Well I recently remembered another soda-related red flag.

Low carbonation levels, if the restaurant can’t keep their drinks nice and fizzy on the regular then probably fucking up elsewhere.

Any place that forces or at least is difficult about having you install some fucking app or scan a QR code to see the menu and/or order. Get fucked you absolute nigger.

Michelin restaurants that don't even allow you to order, get fucked nigger im not eating whatever the chef needs to get rid of by the end of service.

Anywhere with over 5% ethnics/non-whites.

I’ve seen this along with “smart” menus that let you skip the wait staff in a few restaurants, the former seems to be going away as more places realize how stupid and/or limiting it can be while I’m somewhat fond of the latter.

This is a big one, if they aren't doing the most basic thing to their soda system (keeping the CO2 fresh) then they're almost certainly not cleaning the ice maker (it can get moldy if you don't clean it every month) or doing basic maintenance like occasionally cleaning the lines the soda syrup flows through. This all used to be my job at some point and it's all a huge PITA so it goes undone at a lot of restaurants.

 

[RougeRed]

Any place with spelling errors and/or lazy abbreviations on the menu. If you can't be bothered to spell out "cheese", proofread a menu before printing and laminating 500 of them, or if you can't spell "assortment", then I don't trust your ability to run a restaurant.

The cleanliness of soda and drink machines are a big deal for me. Decades ago when I lived full time in the states I took a part time job working evenings at a small family restaurant. I usually went home about midnight and my last job was to clean the ice/soda machine and clean out the sweet tea vats. I was very anal about it and scrubbed and flushed the hell out of everything. It was incredibly surprising how quickly that shit would get colonized by all sorts of nastinesses, sometimes within the space of a single day. Nowadays when I go into a restaurant I’m usually inclined to ask for bottled drinks (most restaurants stock these, especially in Europe), especially when I get fast food. When I’m standing at the Burger King counter looking at the nigger taking my order there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that he hasn’t touched the drink machines since the last health inspection.

Niggers. Niggers = leave

When I worked retail in the big city we would send our one black employee out into the ghetto to bring us "Walt's Fried Chicken" I went once as a lark and it was just coons sitting out on stoops starting at my button down shirt white ass while we ordered chicken from a stand with bullet holes in the wall.

The chicken was fucking lit though, perfectly seasoned and served with slices of white bread and greens.


So 9/10 out of times stay away from niggers but the old southern spook could fry a mean bird.

I still remember the time my family went to this old mall called Westview Mall in my state and we stopped at a McDonalds and we all just walked in and my dad looked around and we had just walked in the door and he turns around and motions with his hands like telling us to leave. I asked him why were leaving and he said "because". When we got in the car and he looked at me and said did you see the people in there? I said yeah. He says they were all black. The employees were black and the customers were black. We have to find another McDonalds.

very based. I do this today in current year especially. around blacks never relax.

1. A restaurant that looks like another restaurant. I see this a ton with burger joints and pizza places. They will virtually just lift an entire menu and call it something else.
2. I generally hate anywhere that has like 6 to 10 tvs all over the walls on mute.
4. Lousy service. They don't have to be my friend, but a kind "how are you doing today" goes a long way.
3. Chains I try to avoid as much as possible. Except IHOP, that is my exception.

 

[Fialovy]

A "help wanted" or "now hiring" sign.

Even worse, you apply to working there and they hire you almost immediately. That's what happened to a coworker I had who was looking for a weekend job at Sbarro at the mall. She only had like a five minute interview.

 

[Amphotericin B]

Don’t eat anyplace with a nasty aquarium. The shittyaquariums subreddit is teeming with grimy, overstocked aquariums at Chinese restaurants.

I avoid Chinese restaurants overall since there have been so many news stories about them using ingredients from other restaurant’s dumpsters. Even if the food isn’t spoiled, it’s wrong to serve it to people who didn’t consent to eating out of the trash.

There was another news story where some guy saw a Chinese restaurant storing meat in an outdoor sink. He saw it after eating there and was pissed and called the local media lol.

I ate at a Cracker Barrell in Alabama a few years back and in my own state and both times were good. The Breakfast was pretty good as well. The pancakes weren't bad. Unlike Denny's and IHOP.

Most fast food places pay like shit and they hire people that aren't very competent. I don't think anyone expects really competent people to be working there. I know some of the people running the places seem to think they can attract people with 100+ IQ's with minimum wage. But that usually doesn't happen. I have heard that fast food places in Europe tend to operate better and they make more than what they pay over here. People say you get what you pay for and that goes for employees as well.

I have been to a few Chinese places with aquariums. They seemed to be relatively clean. These days people seem to freak out if you don't have a 50 gallon aquarium for 2 or 3 goldfish.

I don't particularly care for Chinese food myself. I remember a story where someone found a condom in their food at a Chinese food restaurant. It was in a nigger neighborhood and the person complaining was a nigger. Niggers are known for giving business a hard time.

If you go into a restaurant and it's empty on a Friday night - leave.

There were a few “quiet” places that I liked and I had never had problems with, but those are also the first to go.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

All these stories about Chinese restaurants being dirty surprise me. The one in my town is one of the cleanest places next to McDonald's.

When they have this aesthetic



Stop appropriating my working class culture you yuppie fucks.

 

[spastic_bag]

Overly-gimmicky décor: Restaurant looks like a log cabin? Sure. The toilet sink is a dented enameled washbasin with the drainhole hacksawed out, the toilet seat is permanently installed into a wood bench to look like an outhouse shitter and the air conditioner is painted to look like wood? No thanks.

Outdated everything: Red gingham tablecloths with cigarette burns, 1980s glassware and yellowed laminate on the menus.

Clusterfuck menus: Grilled pork, bucatini all'Amatriciana, enchiladas, sushi, home-style strudel, organic vegan cheesecake, $2 beer, Veuve Clicquot.

Uncomfortable seating: What's more inviting than hard metal chairs with cushions flimsier than my reasons to keep living? It ain't wood stools, that's for sure.

Embarrassing dish names: I would rather go home hungry than out loud, in public, ask for a "Chicky Chicky Good 'N' Thiccy Sammich".

Shady clientele: If I see fat old tattooed bastards with ponytails or greasy bald heads, or angry MMA fighter-looking lummoxes, I am walking right past, making eye contact with no one.
