You go to pay for a coffee at the bar and it turns out that you only have a 50 euro bill. Has it ever happened to you? Although it is not something you do with bad intentions, but rather a simple carelessness, the truth is that as a general rule this is an inconvenience for waiters. Not in vain, giving change for this sum is not the same as a 5 or 10 euro bill…
This is one of the open secrets of the waiters, which Abraham Galera echoes in a humorous tone. Under the alias @abrigaca, he has 248 thousand followers on Instagram and 767 thousand on TikTok, where he shares videos about the ins and outs of the hospitality profession. In this new video, he brings to the table the customs of customers that drive them crazy when it comes to paying for drinks.
Working in front of the public usually gives rise to situations that put the patience and good humor of the worker in question on the ropes. But it is always better to take it with humor, as Abraham Galera shows. Of course, there are two common practices that particularly annoy waiters when it comes time to pay the bill.
Among them, the habit of tapping the bar or table with a coin, in order to get their attention. “No matter how many taps you give with the coin, we are not going to serve you sooner,” confesses this well-known waiter on social networks.
On the other hand, they find it inconvenient when a customer pays for a drink with a 50 euro bill. “Whenever you give us a 50 bill to pay, we’re going to get this face,” he says, while making a face of disagreement and ironically protesting the change.
He continues his video revealing other truths about his profession. Like, for example, that when the beer barrel runs out “we try to make the longuis so that the next one can change it” or that “whenever we can we will send the rookie to order desserts at a table.”
Abraham jokes, slipping that “when you tell us that you have little time to eat, it matters little to us.” Furthermore, “we call Sunday Tuesday or Monday or one of those dead days of the week that is our holiday,” his video concludes.
This video is the third installment of a small series published by @abrigaca, joining the viral trend on social networks that consists of beginning the phrase with “I am (followed by an attribute such as nationality or profession)”, followed by a phrase that be ironic about the topic in question. The publication reaches close to 2,000 likes in just 13 hours and in the comments section the reactions of those who sympathize with the video and those who also want to add other similar circumstances that they experience in their daily life behind the bar are interspersed.
