      Had some realty big-wigs in for a banquet, and I was carving the prime rib that night. Guy came in and when I was carving my usual slices, he asked for a little thicker. Went about 1/8th inch increments until it was like an inch-thick slab of meat. They were paying good money for it, so all I could say was “American cut, huh? I’m personally a fan of the English cut myself.”
      Conversely, there was a Chinese wedding where they cut so much out of their menu to save costs that the other cooks were going “Cheap cheap cheap” in the kitchen to make fun of them. Those guys got paper-thin half slices of the lamb. Of course I had to give them two slices if they asked for it, but for much more than that, I encouraged them to come back for seconds later.

      @@sean-bz7gw I feel your pain, I bought a refrigerator van to even serve fresh hot fudge sundaes for all the children at my local park and I've had 16 restraining orders filed against me in a 3 month period. I switched to a mobile hot meats station for fresh roast beef and tried serving the children and parents at the elementary soccer games and I was jumped the moment I brought out a carving knife. It took 6 years to finally find the right balance of confidence and awkward dialog to win over the hearts of the community. Stay strong, the eventual victory is worth the battle, my friend. Black mail the mayor if you want to speed up the process.

    This was a very general over view. Different managers had different pet peeves. I remember at this one in the Midwest we had alot of good eaters if you will. We were instructed to tell folks that came to the carving table alot "Welcome back! Your mouth ready for another load of my hot meat?" This worked very well in keeping our operating costs down.
