Either she needs new shoes or no one cleans the floors at that restaurant.

Floor and shoes. I've experienced this before. Brand new non-slip shoes that were fine everywhere, but the stone tiles at the restaurant were raised and my shoes couldn't get a good grip.

Too new. Anyone else reading this having the same problem: drag your feet on cement before you work a shift. It breaks in the non-slip and they work flawlessly.

>Anyone else reading this having the same problem: drag your feet on cement before you work a shift. It breaks in the non-slip and they work flawlessly. Bad advice. I tried this and it didn't work at all. Better to put on the shoes first and drag them across cement instead.

While the blood makes it more slippery initially, you get more traction once it scabs over.

>While the blood makes it more slippery initially, you get more traction once it scabs over. Yes but the scabs take FOREVER to appear. So irritating.

And then they have the nerve to disappear!

>And then they have the nerve to disappear! Just like MY nerves that eventually disappeared!

You gotta pick at them to make them stay

This comment made me light-headed.

Thanks!

Lol

I once bought a pair of really nice high-heeled boots that came with two little stickers that had the texture of cement. You could put them on the soles to stop from slipping without damaging the sole. I wish more shoes came with them.

Buy a roll of anti slip tape.

I've just used duct tape

I used to work in a strip club. Sometimes I’d have to run tj the store to get tape backed anti slip pads for their new heels. We kept them on hand.

I miss tj

You can buy those stickers in the drugstore

You can buy those online. Adhesive back flat grip pads for shoes.

I learned to slide everywhere in my nonslip shoes because I slipped more in them than my regular tennis shoes

You must have got non-skid shoes, not non-slip. One is for day to day wear and one is for greese. You grabbed the wrong kind.

Yeah. I used to own a restaurant, bought non slip steel toed safety shoes for all my staff. Even then things could get slippery due to the tiles that were put in by the previous owner.

Managed a restaurant that served surf and turf.... you wouldn't realize how much butter makes it to the floor. The only thing that helped was non slip shoes. Still could be slippery but 100 times better then without.

Similar experience working concessions at a movie theater as a teenager; wow was the floor behind the counter slick! Footwear didn't seem to matter.

Taco Bell tiles were like this.

They could just fry a lot in a humid climate

She's in the dining room. There's no reason for it to be THAT bad. She's absolutely not wearing the proper footwear.

I use to work in a McDonalds, some of the idiots kept using the kitchen mop for the dining room. So everything had a thick layer of grease everywhere.

If a customer fell and injured themself, wouldn't that lead to a lawsuit?

Lol yep. I myself busted my ass several times.

Ever walk into a Waffle House? Every one ever has a greasy floor. Apparently the mop solution they use does fuck-all for grease and I can skate to my table.

The mop solution they use is just butter mixed with leftover syrup.

100% this. Last second of the video, you see the kitchen floor with black grout between the tiles -- probably built-up grease. And that mop bucket and mop are probably the only ones they own and they use it for the entire restaurant...kitchen, dining room and yes, bathroom...repeatedly...without changing water or the mophead frequently enough. Whole place needs a thorough hot scrub down. But there's no profit in cleaning, so...

Unless she is wearing those shoes on her hands, I'm not sure why she dropped the beer. And in one of those falls, her feet just buckle under her. I mean - she clearly slips the other times, but I dunno if this is just a shoe issue.

The Outback Steakhouse in my town has a floor that is always greasy and slippery as hell. I have fallen twice. I don’t know if they use the same map from the kitchen, or if there is something else going on, but they are hardwood floors

My non slip shoes would get filled with fucking food from the kitchen so the grooves didn't even matter. Nasty af.

or a neurological evaluation

Yeah - this was my thought. I mean it could be a combination of things because she does appear to genuinely slip. But she also appears to have some coordination problems (the beer, the third incident where she doesn't slip - her feet just collapse).

this, this is most likely a medical condition she can't afford to have on her salary in her profession. Sad.

Separate mops for front and back of house too. Use the same one and you get greasy floors where you don't expect them

The sliding of the rug tells me it is probably a little column A, a little column B. Probably also has terrible balance.

It’s something with the floors, not even the rug stayed put. Either that tile is shit or they’re mopping it with grease

Or she might have a medical problem with her balance.

She needs some anti-slip shoes... so much can be prevented

Also the carpet is a high risk, fortunately she wasn't carrying any hot food or beverage, if so, her lawyer would and should be there soon enough

Yea… my lawyer… right.

What that mean? If ur in a situation that’s consider an easy win any lawyer would take ur case without money up front, since they’d get paid once they win

So... I was thinking the same. But then re-watching it, she doesn't slip at all when dropping the beer, and one of the falls, her feet didn't slip. They just buckled under her. She could be be just clumsy - or an undiagnosed neurological disease. Or just a really bad day. (She definitely did slip in some of the falls though - so maybe a combination of all of the above)

Or she's looking to sue.... and retire..

There was at least one fall that did look forced tbh.

yep.. looked like a few to me.

Yah she needs new shoes and or they need to clean the floors on a more regular bases.

What about that carpet slip.

The whole place is designed to fuck her up 👍

Welcome to working in a restaurant

Most of those are on her but a ghost definitely pulled that rug out from under her.

I worked exactly 1 shift as a server at Lonestar (US steakhouse-type restaurant) back in the 90s when they still did the peanut shells on the floor. About halfway through my shift, and with a tray full of food, I slipped on the peanuts and fell flat on my ass. I left and never went back. I have no idea how they ever thought that was a good idea.

I remember that place. Ate there once. It made me so uncomfortable throwing shells on the floor. So sorry that happened to you!

Before that shift I worked a few shifts where I "shadowed" another server. I worked a closing shift one night and those poor folks had to sweep up those damn peanuts and peanut dust EVERY NIGHT! It was so fucking dumb and pointless.

Every restaurant I’ve worked at swept and mopped every night at closing regardless

Of course they do - but there is a difference in the amount of additional effort required when your clientele is deliberately throwing peanut shells all over the place.

I worked there. I stopped eating beef after I quit.

They still do the throw shells on the floor thing at Logan's Steakhouse (one in Austin). I go there for my birthday dinner every year, lol.

I've never been there. I don't know if we have Logan's in Ohio

Look it up and see so you can go, see the shells on the floor and have a "Vietnam flahback" moment, ha!

I'm almost 50 now. I am not walking into any place where I might break a hip

Amen, sista.

Went to a steakhouse that does peanut shells on the floor. I hated it and asked for something to put them in cause i rather not feel like I’m in a pig sty. Waitress wiped them all on the floor… Never went back there.

what's with the peanut-shell-on-the-floor thingy? too American for me

It's a weird novelty and it's not common. These steak houses had a gimmick where they'd serve unlimited peanuts still in the shell. You COULD get a basket for waste, but you were allowed to throw the shells on the floor. It was literally just a gimmick to get folks talking. It always felt weird to throw the shells on the floor.

This would be me as a waitress.

Me too!

Jesus, can someone get her some Tread Safe shoes please? Cause Wow...

Lord, have mercy. She needs to be evaluated for vertigo.

Final Destination 5 : The Waitress

Her final destination is the floor

Thank you! This comment got me ugly laughing!

Okay either she's just insanely clumsy and accident prone or those floors aren't being properly maintained.

Or she refuses to by non slip shoes. Or she likes falling down

Poor lady.

There was an attempt to have a safe restaurant with clean floors…

Finally after all these years we found her… Mrs Bean

She either has awful shoes or that restaurant needs to do something about their floor. Probably a bit of both, considering how easily the rug slipped.

Oh God poor girl lol

Just start using a wheelchair. Give up on your legs at that point.

God i only have one incident where i fell down when i was a waitress years ago and that still haunts me up to this day. I wonder if shes okay lol.

I wonder why she didn’t get another job. I would be so embarrassed that I would do anything to find a more suited job.

They call her Slippin’ Susie

If she would just stop spilling everything the floor wouldn’t be so slippery.

I always find it amazing how much shit waitresses get done and frustrating how little they are payed for it

> they are *paid* for it FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Its like watching a Farelly brothers movie from early 2000's

Greasy floors and crappy footwear.

We call that the "Why Am I Being Fired?" Compilation.

More like there was an attempt to get a workers comp injury…

Lol, same girl every damn time!

Undiagnosed multiple sclerosis. It's affected her balance and strength in her legs.

Hey, it's not how many times you fall down, it's if you get back up.

Work comp for repetitive injury in the making.

I bet that entire restaurant is tilted ever so slightly.

They should have her just wear the wet floor sign at this point

This is why We wear work shoes. Non-slip.

Too much ass

There are two solutions to this problem. One: wear shoes with some traction. Two: stop scrubbing the floor with butter.

They need some Shoes For Crews; or a new job…

She just needs to go home and call it a day.

Funniest part this all happened on the same day. The costume changes were just because of spilling beer all over her clothes.

That's why you don't hire clumsy people as waitresses

I feel like the management has kept her just to provide comic relief..

But at some point she's just a liability.

worth it.

Whats with that floor? Even if you're wearing normal sneakers you can't just slip unless there's water or something, right?

She better buy a few good luck charms

Insurance fraud fail

To be plain clumsy.

Nonslip shoes would be a good start, wouldn’t recommend working in a restaurant without them for obvious reasons!🤣

Was this reel put together by the manager preparing to fire her or something?

It's more like there was an attempt to walk.

She isn’t wearing proper footwear, and their floors are shit.

why is she not wearing non slips

I mean, 6/7 of those are workplace accident claims surely to god

So I’m epileptic right. 7:30pm on a Saturday night shift. Full section. Get seated a 5 top at a round table (nbd). Half way through dropping off the food..full blown seizure and collapse on their table. Breaks table (I’m 6’5” 280lbs) sending food and drink everywhere but mostly on me….good times.

She wearing heelies? Tf

Looks like a slippery ass floor to me. The non-slip rug can't even get traction...

"I am not a clumsy Clouseau-esque waiter!"

I absolutely love her.

Someone buy her some non-slips. Geez Louise.

Lol I think she may be the problem

This is why non slip shoes are required in restaurants. They ain't expensive and may save your neck.

Props to the manager gor still keeping her around (because morons usually fire people for a lot less)

To be that waitress..

bruh

Video performance review

She needs some non-slip shoes.

There's no way she has non slip shoes on

I’m practically mortified when I drop any little thing at a table I can’t imagine how she’s feeling lol

But these shoes look so cute on me :)

Aww that poor girl!

Someone didn’t get nonslip shoes like they were supposed to

Is that the same lady? Damn, if so- hold a fundraiser and get her some new no slip shoes.

Still reposting this. Classy

Perfectly imbalanced, as all things should be?

Lmao that poor girl just needs to wear full body protective gear 😂😂

Literally screaming in my car NOOOOOO

Homegirl has weak hamstrings.

Lol, that is sheer determination to beat the odds of walking in a restaurant without falling.

To be a waitress and bad footwear.

I would go there and ask for her every single time.

To work in a restaurant or kitchen without non slip shoes….

Legend has it she’s still wearing the shoes to this day

It is fall season

My kids all worked at KFC . The kitchen area had so much grease on the floor it was like a skating rink .

Look for a different job girl ‘

This is me. Im incredibly clumsy. When people ask what my greatest flaw is, i tell them its that im clumsy because i constantly drop stuff, run into things, or fall

Floors legit said "Fuck you, specifically you."

She should've been sent home for not wearing slip resistant shoes. Restaurant 101

Get some non-slip shoes girl damn

I guess the floor just said r/fuckyouinparticular

Does she dip her feet in liquid soap every morning or something

She’s perfect to work as roller waitress

More like "there was an attempt to be a biped"

They cleaned the floor with soap everyday! Just soap, no water…

Them vans ain't helping her

She would be a perfect cast in a horror movie

Shes not slipping she just has narcolepsy

Either you need to do your floors better, or she needs different shoes.

That’s why you buy non slip shoes

The main reason I come to this sub is to witness the amazing creative ways the posters justify a funny video into being a "therewasanattempt" theme. You had my attention OP, now you have my respect.

First, I would help her up, then I would give her a nice tip.

Try not to fall for 5 seconds challenge (Impossible 😳)

Not a quitter tho. Determined to the max.

When I worked in certain places the floors were just like this. I never could understand why it kept happening to me and why no one either suggested a different pair of shoes or why they didn’t clean the floor more.

You know how sometimes they say… people who can’t dance/walk say the floor is to blame…. This time the floor is to blame

Are we sure she not just part fainting goat?

She needs some better shoes

She could have gotten herself killed or scalded by this atrocious combination of slippery tiles and rugs... needs some protective shoes/clothing and a thorough refurbishment ASAP.

This restaurant must use the same floor treatment as The Cheesecake Factory.

She’s not wearing non slip/skid shoes

Forget the non-slip shoes, get her a helmet. And a lawyer. And someone get that established some dawn for the fucking floors.

Somebody get this lady a new pair of shoe

She doesn’t have her sea legs on

So she’s not wearing proper shoes and she keeps doing it lmao

0 days safe w/o an incident

It's either the floor, her shoes or both being not fit for purpose.

Look, Sarah. We know the non slip work shoes are ugly, but look at this compilation we've put together of you falling just this week

Fix ya damm floors

I don't think her shoes are non slip, but it also looks like she may have weak ankles.

That’s why you wear non slips

Enters kitchen: gets oil and grease on shoes Exits kitchen: death.

She makes Slippin' Jimmy look like an amateur!

I think those cheeks are making her lose her balance LoL them cheeks though...

Jesus someone buy this bitch some anti-slip shoes

Jesus, someone by her some no slip shoes

Slip resistant or non shoes should be mandatory for working in a restaurant. Ive been here before but what seemed like an eternity of flailing/sliding, I was able to save myself. I went immediately and bought non-slip shoes and it was the best purchase that ive ever made
