We have been struggling with this same issue for 4 years. Every year we get a load of new concierge and food runners (aka floor ambassadors). They are so "in over their head" it almost sounds crazy and out of their job description to communicate with the kitchen when we have walk-in big tops.
Last Saturday I noticed we weren't the only ones who get slammed by the concierge. Our servers on the terrace get sat a full section all at once with no staggering. It is fucking annoying for all of us. All the amuse bouche gets rang in at once. All the first courses come in at once. Then there is the inevitable rapid fire of every entree in the fucking building. All that means is that the last ticket on the rail is going to suffer a longer wait than necessary.
Why exactly we weren't warned about a walk-in 12 top is the least of our concerns, I guess.
Tell them to wipe front to back as to not dirty up the reproductive organs before the rest of us inevitably get screwed.
You haven't seen our FOH staff, Sous. All possibilities of organs that can reproduce have been squashed via court order or STD long since. As far as wiping, it's all we can do to keep them from using their hands.
