The discounted prices of happy always attracts the worst customers.
In all honesty, my restaurants happy hour--isn't that happy. The prices are not worth it.
These discounted prices always drag in the worst customers. The same customers that ask to be "hooked up" are the customers same customers that are complaining about the "expensive" prices of our happy hour.
My thoughts on the matter are, well, if you don't like it, there are plenty other restuarants in the area. Although I never am able to say that.
Sunday is the worst day to work at a restaurant. Every family that never goes out dinner, but decides to go out for a family dinner, always goes out on Sundays. The family that doesn't regularly go out to dinner, is the family that sends their food back, complains about everything, and is just in general always unhappy.
But on top of this, Sunday is all day happy hour. So the family that never goes out to dinner, and wants to be "hooked up" is now seated in my bar area for all day happy hour, complaining about the "expensive" happy hour prices.
Happy hour tends to make no one happy. The customer isn't happy with the prices or the portions. I'm not happy because of all the complaining customers. My managers aren't happy because they have to comp a bunch of food to calm down the complaing guests.
It's a horrible, never ending cycle. Happy hour tends to be the longest, worst hours of the entire week. There is nothing "happy" about them.
