I just watched this. It was quite juvenile and pretty much just one big dick joke. I appreciated it, it made me laugh a lot.

I think it helps that I lived with like 4 of those guys for several years. It was surprisingly accurate.

It had a few funny moments. It seemed like it was just the restaurant industry's Office Space.

6/10

You mean it started off really funny for the first half of the movie with a really smart idea about being rewarded for indifference, then ran out of ideas and stole a weak premise from Superman III as filler to make it up to a full length movie?

Only with waiters?

All of Office Space was good from start to finish.

Mocking Office Space is like mocking a classic like Animal House or something.

I'll have to check out Waiting if it's anything like Office Space!

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » February 8, 2006, 8:50 am

Let me clarify... It wasn't as funny as Office Space.

And there's no stealing from the crippled children in Waiting.

I think this movie gives the general public a good warning they need to learn.

Never, EVER, send your food back & be bitchy about it. Hell I remember one time giving a guy a pint of slops because he pitched his pint wasnt fizzy enough.

Myself and a four of my friends were eating at perkins once, and we got the funniest waiter i've ever met.

Two relatively funny things happened that night. One of the girls that was with us decided her club sandwich was too burnt (the bread) and demanded to have the sandwich re-done, not heeding the warnings myself and others gave her about complaining about your food like that. Hesitantly, the waiter took her sandwich back and not too much later brought a new one out.
After all that, she didnt eat the sandwich AT ALL and asked for a to-go box. The waiter looked at her for a few seconds, and started to berate her about it. He went on for about 5 minutes, and we were all laughing (except the sandwich girl, she was getting more and more pissed) and he finally gave her the box, and she sat there silent for the rest of the meal.

That same night, another of the girls there was on this "im a vegitarian" kick(which lasted all of about 2 months). She ordered a chicken caeser salad without the chicken, pretty easy right? Well her salad comes out and she is eating, and then something tragic happens... SHE FINDS A PIECE OF CHICKEN IN HER SALAD !!!! She is so pissed about this she waves the waiter down and asks him why there is chicken in her salad. He proceeds to tell her that he is sorry that this one tiny piece of chicken strayed its way into her salad, and he then went on to ensure her that the chicken died of natural causes. At this point I had tears streaming down my cheaks, as did the rest of us, but not the girl eating the salad of course.

Anyhow, big sidetrack but when I saw the preview for this movie it made me think of that night. I definately need to see it though !

I thought it tasted funny....

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » February 10, 2006, 7:04 am

I laughed sporadically during this movie but some of those laughs were HAHA, not hehe.

Had lots of potential but the out of hand dick joke, slight cliche, and overall focus on entertaining the teen crowd instead of broadening the audience makes it more of a one time movie worth a few good chuckles.

The birthday singing cracked me up. I've never worked at a restaurant but hate seeing those anyway.

63/100

I was served a piece of cherry pie at Frishes (sp?) once. It had a giant golf ball-sized chunk of MOLD in the middle. When I pointed this out to the server, she told me we would not be getting a free meal out of it and walked off after dropping the check off.

Me and my wife were indeed like "What the fuck?".

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » February 10, 2006, 1:28 pm

I was at Burger King last night and I asked if the onion rings were fresh. The guy at the counter yells back to the grill "Hey, how old are these onion rings?!" and the rply was "They're not that old".

I had fries.

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » February 10, 2006, 1:34 pm

Should have asked for fresh ones. They only take a minute or two!

The only 2 things I learned from my days in a hotel restaurant: women love to answer their door buck naked (this is not a good thing), and Mel Fisher is a fucking cheap bastard.

I know what you mean about the answering the door naked thing being bad. When I worked construction management a large part of my job was going to homes after they were closed for warranty. Well this particular site had an abundance of hot girls living on it, and I noticed one day I had warranty work to do at one of their houses.

So I get there and I ring the doorbell, and I hear someone running down the stairs. Girl opens the door 100% nude and says hi to me like nothing was wrong (not that id exactly say it was wrong). So here I am trying to do a warranty meeting and not get distracted, which was not working well at the time. Then it got even stranger when she asked me if I wanted any breakfast... Of course I said no, here I am thinking I need to tread lightly or I could fuck my job up in a hurry. Well I stuttered my way through the meeting and kindly got out of there. I think if I hadnt just broke up with my girlfriend a week before that (and if I knew I wasnt going to be working there much longer) I may have tried my luck.. but..

Thats a pretty fucked up situation to be put in, here you are on one side thinking, where the hell is the bedroom? Then on the other hand you are thinking, I need to keep my eyes to myself, hope this girl doesnt have a husband/boyfriend that shows up and is pissed, or that I dont do something stupid and lose my job.

You could have just come straight out and asked, "are you standing naked before a stranger because you want to fuck or are you standing in front of a stranger naked because you're mind is completely detached from reality?"

I thought of something along those lines, but the situation was so damn akward that I was at a loss for the right words.

Nay, HAHA's are better than hehe's. It was meant to be a positive comment. Tee Hee's are a whole other story.

That's because you've never worked a day in your life you spoiled punk. It's a shame you didn't take advantage of all that free time to learn proper grammar growing up.

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » February 19, 2006, 8:23 pm

I work in the restaurant / banquet business and still haven't seen it. All of my coworkers said it's a blast for people that can connect.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » April 20, 2006, 2:00 pm

Saw this last night, and I would give it a max of a 6/10. It had it's moments, and it did well when it came to making fun of the way many people act toward their servers. The "ball" game could have ended early on.

Office Space is better and far more "mature," though.

Animalor · Post by **Animalor** » April 21, 2006, 1:41 pm

So this is like Van Wilder but with Food Places?

I probably won't see this. My wife hates allusions of people in restorants fucking with food, humorous or otherwise.

It's a funny little movie.
I enjoyed it.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » April 23, 2006, 2:25 pm

Oddly enough, I just rewatched this yesterday. I thought it was even better the 2nd time. I think it's pretty goddamn funny, but I also worked in the food service industry (ie McDonalds) during my youth.

Maybe food serivce people don't like Office Space either.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » February 14, 2009, 10:15 pm

I watched this movie for the first time today. I thought it was borderline hilarious.
