“What should I do with a customer who brings a side dish with him?”… self-employed difficulties

A story was told by a self-employed person who was having trouble with customers who brought their own side dish containers to fill the side dishes provided at the self-service bar.

Recently, on the online community for self-employed people, ‘I’m the Boss Because I’m Sick’, an article titled ‘Customers who bring their own side dish containers and take everything out’ was posted.

Author A said, “There is a female customer who appears to be in her 60s. She always comes alone, orders for two people, and pays in cash. She piles up the side dishes at the self-service bar and puts everything in the containers she brought, including soup, rice, and refilled side dishes. “He’s taking it all with him,” he said.

In particular, female guests only bring side dishes when Mr. A is not looking.

Mr. A said, “They said it would be for one person, and of course there are many people eating alone in the restaurant. When they first came here, they would eat for one person and just leave, but starting last week, they brought in a container of side dishes, and at first they said they would only serve the leftover soup, and then they did that.” He complained.

He then sighed, saying, “He comes twice a week, but it’s very stressful. He seems to live alone. One day, he came with his shirt inside out. He was so heartbroken that he couldn’t even talk.”

Netizens who heard the story said, “What if something goes wrong? We have to stop it at all costs.” “Customers who bring side dishes from home are noble people.” “If it’s difficult to say, write them on a notepad and serve them.” “We again announced that it is for one person and said ‘No packaging of side dishes’ in a loud sign on the self-service bar.” Responses such as “Write it down.”
