The Banquet "Look"

Last month I wrote a post about a time when the kitchen ran out of pasta for the pasta station on an event.  You'd think those dopes could have taken care of this but of course not.  Then I mentioned what happened when I went into the kitchen to find out what happened.  One of my waiters gave me "The LOOK".  In this case the look was her realizing that those a**holes ran outta pasta.

That post had some great comments about other "looks" that you get in this business.  They were too good to not mention them here:

The wrong cake look
When I realized that pastry had sliced, and plated the wrong cake for the wrong table. 

The "did you really ask me that question look"
That Sales gets when they asked a condescending question.

The "dimwitted prep-cook look"

Did you really just pick that parchment paper that fell on the floor and use it to tray bacon and tell me that it's only bacon

The "I don't care what you do look"

As long as your not stealing and the work is getting done

The "filthy bartender look"

Did I really just see you pull that drink under the counter and use your hand as a strainer after someone said they didn't want any ice in their drink

The "you reservation people suck look"
See this letter confirming a reservation at Christmas buffet dinner for fifteen people I got from a customer on Christmas day that you didn't add to the absolutely full reservation sheet and I had to figure out how to fix it by setting up a fucking fifteen top anywhere it would fit and it's not like it's bad enough I have to work on f***ing Christmas day while you are at home with your family I have to fix your f***ing mistakes on what should be the least stressful work day of the year

Can any of my faithful readers add to this list some of their favorite "looks" that they have seen or given to some other a**hole?  Let's see how many we can come up with.
