I've run into this kind of spiel in so many restaurants. When they ask the inevitable "Have you eaten with us before?" it's probably safer to always say yes, true or not. "Johnny" takes it further than I've ever seen. I do kind of like the idea of superspiking dishes. I might have to start doing that at home.
At 1:05 , note that server Johnny has to use physical force to ensure that Fred complies with the policy of not returning menus to the server until his order has been taken all the way.
I'm a server at The Cheesecake Factory and this is seriously my job to a tee. They force you to be this annoying. "Craigs Crazy Guac Tacs" is way too similar to our "Craigs Crazy Carrot Cake Cheesecake" to be a coincidence.
can't wait for when he's selling them a new/used car. or maybe an instrument at guitar center. or some pants at the gap. or a new hdtv. or a computer.

Ugh! Ive been to a restaurant that doesn't allow you to share.
Me and my friend didnt know that so they doubled the whole bill!
We refused to pay twice the amount and the manager came and told us sharing food was "stealing"
oh yeah and every time I asked for any drink-juice, soda, anything- the guy gave me water
We didnt end paying the doubled price or leaving a tip (down to the penny)
Super fun time! haha...
