Talk about Sunday horrors.
Bartenders deal with some interesting people and situations, but there is one day of the week that brings out the “worst” customers: Sundays.
One bartender of 29 years took to Reddit to voice their frustrations, and others agreed.
“No matter where (NYC, LA, Key West, Connecticut, currently out of St. Pete, FL) no matter what type of establishment (fine dining, casual, mom and pop) the people who go out on a Sunday night are just different from them. the rest of the week. Just me?” the user wrote.
The comments section was filled with other bartenders who have had similar experiences, agreeing that Sundays are the worst.
“Sunday people expect from a different cloth. I used to call it experimental dining day,” said one person.
“Unfortunately I see the worst people on Sundays where I live, it’s like all the holes come out,” said another. “Last Sunday I was yelled at twice in 20 minutes for strange things. Today was my first non-stop Sunday in over two months and it’s been the best mental health day ever knowing I’m not there.”
“Sundays are literally the wild west of restaurant service,” said another.
“Yes. I’ve always called Sunday nights ‘weird and a hole night,’” someone called out.
Several people offered their theories as to why Sundays attract the worst customers.
“I have a theory that the Sunday crowd is more needy, prone to getting hammered and generally weak because they’re trying to get their last bit of freedom before the usual 40 plus hours of 9- 5. will bring them,” said one.
“Hoo boy. I live in the ‘Porpsa’ of the Bible Belt. The churchgoers I had to deal with at Sunday morning services were the worst,” said another.
Mary King, a former restaurant manager of 14 years, echoed those sentiments, telling Delish that Sundays are “a recipe for bad vibes and a weird dining room or bar energy.”
“The Sunday bar managers and patrons walk out because no one feels like cooking.” Sunday morning goers may be hungry, and people who went out on Friday and Saturday think they spent a lot of money; they didn’t do everything they wanted to over the weekend,” she said.
“By dinner time, the Sunday horrors are blaring at full volume, reminding every person in your bar or dining room that they have to go back to work tomorrow morning.”
However, not everyone on Reddit felt the same way.
“Sundays have always been my money day. It was cold, I was going to send everyone home and rock it myself. The people who came were always quiet. Happy Sundays!” – shouted one.
“I love Sunday nights! I’ve worked in a number of service industry bars amongst others, but the Sunday night crowd always seem to have the most fun,” added another.
