A TikTok user criticized the unethical customs of waiters by exhibiting one of the most recent cases.
Mexico currently has two of the ten best restaurants in Latin America.
the verified tiktoker shared the strangest and most unethical customs of waiters in the Mexican restaurant industry through one of the most recent examples.
The account of 13 thousand pesos for two shots of whiskey surprised some diners whose initial budget was 4 thousand pesos. They reportedly had no idea of the price of the drinks because the waiter “made the mistake” of not telling them.
Staff and the restaurant industry
The restaurant industry has proven to be a pillar around the growth of the economy in any country in the world.
Study Data “Knowing the Restaurant Industry” prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) together with the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (CANIRAC), they indicated that during 2019 the gross domestic product of this sector managed to register an approximate of 185 billion pesoswhich translates into income for millions of Mexican families.
In fact, ten of the best restaurants in the world are located in Latin America, highlighting the participation of Peru, which has three of the best four. On the other hand, Mexico and specifically CDMX keeps two on the list, occupying positions five and eight.
However, it is a fact that not all restaurants can enjoy massive success. The work staff probably influences this too much. Whether or not the restaurant is able to provide you with a living wage and sufficient benefits, to whether or not said staff complies with the protocols of impeccable work.
Sometimes, many decide to skip these protocols and act according to convenience, exhibiting several of their unethical customs.
“13 thousand pesos for two shots of whiskey”; exhibit unethical waitstaff customs
Through your account TikTok, “Rudy the Third”shared a case that went viral a few days ago, where a waiter, in favor of his unethical customs, decided to offer two shots of whiskey at 13 thousand pesos without revealing the cost of the drinks.
The result was a fairly severe criticism, because according to what the user explains, everything else indicated a moderate consumption of the diners.
This was probably motivated by the custom that exists in restaurants to give “bonuses” For sales of certain beverages, however, all workers are required to provide information on the price of any food or beverage for consumption in a food establishment.
The restaurant’s action was to classify the event as a server error and offer a refund for customers.
This is the video where they exhibit unethical customs of the waiters:
