This guy is me if I ever tried to be a waiter
+Joshua Smile Come on...you were a waiter and you quit, right?
I have never been a waiter but if I had been I would be like this guy
Same.
Yeah. I can't remember anything.
Ikr lol
Girl: I asked for a refill like 10 minutes ago
Actor: Awesome
ARandomCivilian HD I laughed hard at that one! LMAO! :D What a ditzy spaz James The Waiter is! :D
ARandomCivilian HD lol
i was just on that part when you said it 😂
Awesome
Oof
Lmao, he said "did I order that".
These frickles leave me frazzled
😂😂😂
Lol that was funny
Dude those two guys were on some lsd 😂😂 I swear
"I can't wait to talk to Linda about this one " IF THIS AINT ME LMAOOO
I'd probably be that absent-minded waiter.
I just saw that scene lol
Everything was so lol along teaching and test
Roger Martinez uhh you good?
Me to my best friend
I'm not a waitress. I could never successfully be one. I'm clumsy, I'm loud when I don't mean to be, I don't have that many social skills (and the ones I do have are only partway there), I'm not an auditory thinker, I can't act like I'm happy when I'm not happy, and, basically, I'd suck at being a waitress.
Ms3queen it's okay
Ms3queen Damn white girl. you need some serious help!
J doe damn, that's kinda racist! She cant change the way she is. Just because you might not have to deal with that doesn't mean that nobody else does. I have all of these problems along with anxiety and i know its not easy to overcome our clumsiness. Its the way our brains work. No need to be rude.
Jovi Girl
lol
Then your a lot like me. Sometimes even when I am happy I don't look it or maybe don't even act it. I don't show my emotions like other people though. I trip over my own feet and sometimes I cant talk to people. And again I talk normally and I sound very loud like I'm shouting. 😞
Those ladies at the end were wonderful. I loved their attitude saying that the waiter made them laugh and their day more interesting. What a fantastic healthy way of living life.
Called being old and bored as ale mate
Moral: Good looking people can get away with anything.
So true
+Mona Sabbat I think its more that hes lousy but in an innocent and silly way...if he was being rude, no one would have been laughing...
I agree that it's actually more about his personality than anything. And even being both attractive and nice didn't necessarily mean he "got away" with some people. Some people actually left. This also is more of a casual restaurant. I wish they would've tried it with a fine dining restaurant that would've been interesting
he's average looking. it's because of his personality that he gets away with it.
no one would actually ever hire him tho
Alex Omion
pffff.... WWYD doing the maniquin challenge before it was cool
Pampa 31 i commented that too to a other vid😂
Enchantress WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!
Pampa 31 Really huh I thought John could slow down time
ThatOne no its not
xoxo ms sIut bro why are you such a bitch 😂😂😂 like chill
This show is brilliant. There's nothing like this in the UK. Let's make it!!
***** where can u watch it.. Let's make one 😆
Mohit Dohal Suit wearers in England will not allow it : p
***** oh yeahh i remember that show, i don't know why they didn't make more episodes, it was such a good show.
+Mohit Dohal you got the Queen!
Right? Love this show.
Lmao thirsty neighbors.
Grant Jones heh
Grant Jones I want two female thirsty neighbors
Mason RobertsTV q
Slllllllllllllllllluuuuurrpppp
Lmao
2:39, why do they have so many waters?!
+Julia B They are thirsty...
Julia B my dad hates resturuants
That was a random ass comment
Lol
Lol
The first time I worked as a server I forgot I had a table and they weren't very forgiving. It's hard to keep track of everything. At the end of the day, I feel like the food industry is so terrible and not worth it since the tips don't make up for the lost dollars in the less than hourly wage...
Jen Jung Same! it's so hard, the employee treatment is horrible, and it's just not worth the hassle!
I'd punch a waiter if fucked up my order
wolf dude People mess up, it's a part of being a human.
wolf dude
That wouldn't help anything.
It takes time to become a little better at serving but once your good you can make great money. The average server in the US (including high and low end restaurants) make $17 an hour.
Oh, it's your birthday too? XD
LOL....
What if people had plans for that day
the night shift Well their day got better, they were on a tv show!
Courier t
Space Girl10 Honestly.. lmao. College already has me tied down, eating out is a big plan whenever I do.
Courier, who are you? Nobody goes to a restaurant for plans. Going to restaurants is a means for celebration of something. Restaurants are expensive.
Exactly
I used to be a waitress. Fuck that. Fuck everything about that. I couldn't keep up with the orders, drinks, sides, and whatever else. Too much for me to handle. If you like it, fine, but this girl will stick to being a cashier for now.
It's the easiest job ever, how do you fuck up?
Nathan Masters Pfft. Easy? It wasn't easy. And I didn't fuck up. I just hated it. To make matters worse, I'm a native English speaker with a limited understanding of Afrikaans. Throw in people from all over my country shouting at me in who knows what languages, yeah, it got really confusing.
I feel you! Being an employee for the food industry is hard. You have my respect.
Sara van der Merwe Did you not have a notepad?
@@mcmclifton79 _It doesn't matter whether a person has a notepad or not. Being a waiter is not easy for some people! Get over it!!_
"It's your birthday too?" That made me laugh so hard!
i wonder how people would react if he was female or if he wasn't white. or conveniently attractive.
They wouldn't be so forgiving
+Heather K If she was a female, they would be very nice...
Junior If it was a black person they wouldn't be nice.
Ashley Crystal Maybe... It would depend a lot of the community and the people on there... In a place like NY the people would probably treat the same, because it not like uncommon to see black people...
+Ashley Crystal um kinda depends u can't just say that
That'd be me. He's attractive and young though! If he wasn't people would snap more. 😂
magali castro truuu lol 😂
magali castro y
How do you explain that to an actor ? "Hey could you play the ugly waiter so we can compare peoples reactions to the attractive waiter ?
@46Bax u dont play an ugly person lol... u just are one..
True that
People have no common courtesy or patience anymore and its sad that people can be so rude.
we've got places to be and things to do.
Not everybody. Did you see the whole show?
Nicole M, no, if the person can't perform the job, then why are they doing it? It's that simple.
If I go to a restaurant and the waiter can't do his job, I'd get inpatient too. It's frustrating when you ask for something and you expect to get it, but you don't.
RyanHardt, FINALLY! SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE!
If the waiter doesn't bring you your food in a timely manner, it isn't the waiters fault. Its the cooks fault
Anosh Taraporevala So many people don’t understand this!!
Go bears baby
That only applies if the cook is too slow or something malfunctions in the kitchen.
Not always. I waitress and when I first started I would get distracted and forget to put the order in right away; and would not say anything lol
That’s not always the cooks fault I’m a cook and we will have food that sits in the window for a good 10-20 minutes waiting on the waiter to take it to the table
If he was ugly he wouldn't get away with it.
Are you still in jail?
@@Tech-cy9yo he still eating pizza
I'd be pissed if I was on this episode, IM HUNGRY
nyoom nyoomz same here
Yasssss same
Why did i read this in a john pinette voice?
This is hilarious! I really don't blame the waiters -- they've been working all freaking day.
I think it's funny, but I would not like to do this job, your on your feet all day, a lot of people think they should be treated like royalty when a waiter is taken there order, they are human beings after all, I think they do a great job
👍 ☺
The two ladies at the end of the clip; what a great attitude, simply precious.
This is why there should be more opportunities for part time work for students that doesn't require so much pressure from the public, honestly if I became a waiter I'd know I'd suck even if I have 100% which is why I had to look 10x harder for work that wasn't directly linked to the public.
Emily Mae that's life though... when you become an adult after school, you're going to experience incredible stresses far beyond being a waitress.
Kristina Vee it's true, and nothing wrong with giving it a go but at the end of the day when you're a student you're only working to help you get through education and when you're not the right person for this sort of job but need the money it's a hard situation to be in.
I totally get it. I worked retail/customer service all through University. When my day was done I sometimes felt like there was no energy left for "me" or my studies. I made it through and then got a job in my chosen career field... I had no idea! lol. Some days I come home now and I'm like... no, just no. The stress can be so difficult to cope with, but i'm glad I had experience in customer service first so I'd be well adjusted.
Emily Mae what time is this show during the week I like this show
Emily Mae aww poor baby go cry in your safe place you pos.
James the Absent Minded Waiter should have his own show, it would be hilarious. He plays this role so well and the fact that he is sweet, kind, good looking, friendly and that he can make you laugh when you are in a bad mood makes you want to love him more despite his dim-wittedness. I would be happy as anything to have him be my waiter and leave him a huge tip just for him being himself.
He should apply for a sitcom show 😂. Jk. Have a nice day. 😊
Waitressing can get stressful if we have customers who want everything in front of them by the time they snap their fingers. I love waitressing, meeting new people, and I dont mind at all getting things for a table. I want everyone to eat and be comfortable with their food. But I hate when customers dont understand that I have to walk to the back to get their drink, or if they see me make a full round to check on my tables and then go to the back. Its like they only want me to tend to them. But ehhh whatever, not everyone is like that.
Another thing people dont realize is servers get a lot of pressure/crap from other workers, managers, and the people in the back. its honestly NOT OUR FAULT if the food takes too long. We try our best to get food out but I hate when people yell at me for things I cant have control over. Like once, a table didnt like the music, oh and one table told me that the phones ringing bothered her all throughout dinner and that we should turn them off =| .. its a dine in and carry out place so no, we cant do that.
Yeah and having a job in this day and age must suck you know with the economy tanking, oh and those tips you get must suck too.
I'm Sorry that some customers act like that
Honestly when I was a waitress I treated them like they were guests in my house so they loved me. Yes I made mistakes here and there but I never really had terrible customers except for two. One table made me angry because they were fucking with me on purpose. The second table was trying to make me break company policy to give them free stuff. And not just a few items they practically wanted their whole tables worth of food for free. The biggest issue I had was with some of the people who I worked with. Most were good but just get a few lazy coworkers, or those who are burnt out but wont stop doing a job they clearly hate, those that made excuses, those who half assed things, and those who treated the restaurant like a reality tv show drama. Some people just need to be honest about themselves and what they want in life. Oh well I was the fourth highest tipped server in that place with only one year experience so no sweat off my back.
James the waiter is totally funny had me laughing, cracking up! Just watching him brighten up my evening. What a trip.
Customer: "I asked for a refill 10 minutes ago!"
Waiter: "Awesome"
😂😂😂
I'm clumsy, absent minded and lazy, I could never be a damn waitress.
Same here. All 3! 😔🤣😂😩☹
I’m all those things and I’m a server
@@Miss_christie1217 same lmao
Him: I forget her birthday
That other lady: * laughs *
My friend: “ *Flash back* “
To be fair 😒 You can’t judge the waiter for forgetfulness when you don’t know what’s going on his life 🤷🏼♀️ I have a brain injury that’s left me with short term memory loss (and long term -.-) I work in retail so I do have to deal with customers and remembering orders or item locations. I have strategies for dealing with it in the workplace and very helpful colleagues but I can’t always rely or expect them to help. Sometimes the strategies don’t work sometimes I have to deal with unplanned for situations. For the most part customers are polite and not pushy or frustrated when it takes me longer than a normal staff member, sometimes they aren’t 🤷🏼♀️ You keep a polite straight face then when you go for a break you cut yourself up. My injury is what they call an invisible injury, you can’t see it and when it’s hidden behind my uniform you definitely can’t see it. I was never a judgy pushy person before but now I definitely don’t judge when I’m out and staff are forgetful cause you never know what’s going on in someone’s life!
I'm proud of you. Carry on being wonderful! :)
I know this comment is old, but I hope your life is going well!
I wish you nothing but happiness, and an abundance of love!
Sorry about your illness. I hope you are happier nowadays?
This is what i would do if i was a waitress XD
SAME
same XD
ikr
VENISHU oh yea you think it's funny until you get fired
VANISHING point
Literally me as a waiter 😂😂 I’m so forgetful
😂😂😂🤦
happens all the time in europe hahahaha XD
it's different though. European food culture is completely different from Americans' attitude of food.
Kanishka Reddy America serves more than just American food idiot
agnieszka van heirreweghe
Kanishka Reddy How so?
beavis81 Europeans are much more relaxed and spend a lot more time and money on food than Americans, who are always in a rush to get places
“I asked for a refill 10 minutes ago!”
*awesome*
1st guy was weird, who walks over to talk to 2 pretty women at another table with your woman at your table over some water?
+Jamal Jamal A guy keeping his options open.
007Fusiion More like a guy with too much time on his hands
U sound dumb as hell...and u actually sound like a jealous female
+Jamal Jamal I think he was making sure he wasn't being discriminated against. I think in his mind he was saying "the guy is not serving me because I am black, but maybe he is just crazy, so I will check over here at this table to see if he treats the other people of a different color than me in the restaurant the same way as he treats me. Yep he does. Yep he is crazy, not discriminatory."
+Josie Peggerio you didn't see that one of the women at the other table he talked to was black?
As a waitress I can honestly say when there isn't any communication between the staff, things like this happen.
The first guy was hilarious. . "Where's our menus at?!"
Maybe I ordered the frickles 😂😂
“I can’t wait to tell Linda about this one!”
*calls Linda*
“HERE’S---“
The birthday surprise part is hilarious😂😂😂
I can't stop watching these "What Would you Do?" episodes!! I love them so much
I cant imagine how hard it was to stay concentrated on that phone call with this waiter😂
I love how no one complained... That's sweet!
The two old ladies had me dying
0:30 the girl at the front in the orange jacket would be me😂😂🧡
My worst waitress experience was when I was 13. The waitress got our order wrong, so she said she would bring us a original order. She did, 45 minutes later but the food was burned. We told different waiter to get the manager, but he was hiding in the kitchen. Then we realized the waitress forgot our silverware so she got it, but she threw it onto the table.
0:16
*Lady:* "I asked for a refill 10 minutes ago."
*Waiter:* "Awesome."
ME XDD
I'd love to see WWYD stuff like this happen to a couple on a first date who just met off tinder or something
I remember a while back, my family and I went out to eat one time. The food was taking a suspiciously long time to cook...The reason we didn’t leave is because it was the Sunday ‘after church’ crowd and most restaurants were full. We didn’t mind the wait- a few extra minutes won’t hurt anyone. Quite a bit of time passed and our waiter was nowhere to be seen. My mom soon asked the staff if everything was alright. That’s when the manager explained that our waiter took our orders... and left. He clocked out and didn’t tell anyone. And here we are, a good 2 AND A HALF hours later before someone decided to speak up. Funny thing is, I don’t even remember if we got our food in the end or if we just left.
I know I’m 2 years late but this comment made me laugh out loud.. he literally said “f this I’m out” 🤣
you know when your in high school and you speak 3 different languages in 3 classes because it's your job as a student. then when you get home you can hardly do simple human functions like remembering and common sense. I'm that waiter
Noah Martella you're*
Oh, man... I'd probably love this dude. As long as he's actually doing his best and is of good-nature... yeah. I'd love this dude.
"he's the best waiter I've seen so far" "that's not what my girlfriend says" 😭😭😂😭😂😭😂
Brad and Linda are in for a great story lol
I feel like you guys should do a video about parents who can't afford their child's dinner.
Yassassssssass
Good one!
glad they already did.
Hello, I'm from the future, it is now made, being the 2nd most viewed video on their channel. :) Enjoy.
@@VeganGoat96 Dude, I completely forgot about this channel as a whole, but thanks for the update, lol.
The last two of the ladies was very sweet to him.....they did"nt complain...they were just excited with a laughing companion gesture towards him....
"I can't wait to tell Linda about this one."
probably tells the story like a line out of a Tommy Wiseau film 🤣
I DID NOT HIT HER! I.DID.NOT.
@@eurech oh, hi Mark
@@lainwired3946 Lmao that shit is the real deal
the fact that he's a sweetheart would make it hard for me to cost him his job as well, but I know myself and I'd be livid 😂 working in the food industry makes you a little more critical while going out to eat. I try to remind myself to always give a server the benefit of the doubt, they're people too
"I can't wait to tell Linda about this one" hahaha me too, lady. Me too.
5:28 When she took the paper and wrote down the order herself was absolutely hilarious! Ahahaaa! 😂
“It’s the blonde’s birthday!!!” “Give It to ha!!”😂😂😂😂
The actor playing the waiter is so hysterically funny!!!
This is why im never gonna be a waitress😂😂😂
“Who stole my pen?”😂😂😂😂Meanwhile, it’s behind his ear.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 have a great day 😊
and that's why I don't want to get a job like that because I'm stupid as hell and will get into a melt down after making embarasing mistakes like that guy. I would of goten fired on the spot.
also if my dad was one of the customers, he would be pissed and giving the waiters a death stare. emagine what would hapen if I become my dad's waiter (without him realizing that it's me) and geting pissed at me for making a mistake. I would cry
These actors have serious balls... I could never do this and intentionally piss people off 😂
If it was old school business his boss would yell the shit out of him like my bosses did me.
Excuse me did you say BOSSES
I would get SOO annoyed of him but I wouldn't say anything! All the years of my parents lessons I LEARNED about kindness
5:13 that was the most generic elderly conversation 🤣
The black guy in the beginning had the smartest response I've ever heard. What's the lesson for today?
Black guy:
"You never know who's watching!"
Lmao
I think you guys should make a "What Would You Do?" video about Tourette's .
I have Tourette's, but I wonder how the scenario would go... I mean, someone making fun of the kid for having ticks? Or someone saying the kid was weird and creepy for having them? I've gotten it before...
+Swiftie Swift I'm sorry about that. :(
I don't have Tourette's but I could only imagine. I would never make fun of you for it.
Yes! Coming from a sister that has brother and father with Tourette's that would be so cool!
ChasingUnicorns I wish the best for your sister and your brother!
Sick Pandora they did
1:45 And right away he gets up to commiserate with his thirsty neighbors 😂😂😂
1:09 THATS AN AUSSIE
What???
John Wattie what's the issue?
Josh Hartley i’m guessing john is an aussie too and he just saw his kind😂
John Wattie uu
I thought so... LOL...
Australians have an amazing accent. 🥰
I am one of the absent minded people, when my teacher said that I was a absent minded to me she kinda laughed. And the other kids heard and started to call me absent brained. I still deal with the same kids
1:01 Caitlyn Jenner?
lmao!!!! thats sooooo true..OMG how did u catch that😭
*Bruce
+ZeroClarkThirty it's CAITYLN
I see no resemblance. Maybe the mouth only
Bruce*
Aside from good looks, his personality comes across very nice, so it wouldn't bother me; just make me laugh! 😂💯
"You guys aren't thirsty?" Lmfao idk why I found that funny😂
Those two women at the end are everything.
“You gotta do better than what you’re doing man”
The first dude is in utter disbelief😂😂😂
This guy played that character perfectly I would've stayed just to get a kick out of him🤣
Whenever someone complains about the food being late I always kinda space out and then offer to pay for their meal for them due to stress and wanting to please them.
The first black guy has me LAUGHING from his disbelief about not getting a menu LMAOOOOO
0:26 i always wondered how theyre so good at the mannequin challenge...
Cats are Weird I feel so bad for the girl about to eat the bacon. NOT THE BACON
once my family had gone out for dinner, the waiter was soo bad.. like terrible.
he was late .. he was clumsy.. he was exactly as the one in the waiter. we had such a laugh all the while.
my dad in the end told him that he needs to smile more and be sincere in his work. We still talk about that night and laugh.
I could never be a waitress I forget things so easily 😂
The first customer was gold
He's really cute
That was so funny when he brought out the birthday surprise along with a whistle... LOL.
I'm a banquet server and luckily, I never have to serve food. It is always set out on a buffet at the place I work at. I just clean up after the guests and set tables. But omg I could never be an actual restaurant waiter! I get confused very easily and I'm terribly clumsy lol. I'd be dropping plates and giving orders to wrong tables. I'd probably be fired on my first day lmao
I love that lady's son and I never met him. "Now you have a great story"
I've seen waiters and waitresses on their first day. They are not like this. This is very exaggerated.
unfortunately this guy is me in real life in whatever situation
I could never be a waitress because I would pour the water on people if they pissed me off.
Kamryon Cornelison right on right on
Kamryon Cornelison There was once a waitress,who accidentally spilled coke on a baby. 🤣
Those two ladies at the end were very kind 😄😀🙌
3:27 my fave part 😂😂😂😂
I love how "What would you do" is right on the menu
they pass the mannequin challenge😂
You know its editing right? They pause camera roll there and shoot him talking in the room and he cant walk on some parts of the room because they're editing that part.
+Elizabeth Piang on some videos it's not, bc i saw some people moving
The 1st guy.. u didn't want to cost him his job... Damn it u were impatient from the very 1st minute
Me when I smoke weed before going to work 😂
I wouldn't just leave. I would feel bad for that man and hope that someone, possibly his fellow workers, would help him with his job so he doesn't make those mistakes. I would definitely tell the manager to help him out and ask for another server.
Great video, you got a like from me.
