I've been a slave at a Chili's restaurant for about a year now. I have yet to find a comfortable pair of nonslip shoes.

Did you ever date customers?

Asked by Packon over 11 years ago

no.

What, in your opinion, is the most unhealthy thing on the Chili's menu?

Asked by GreatWill2 over 11 years ago

I've actually only ordered food from chili's a few times in my life. It's hard to say because most of their food seems pretty unhealthy.

According to the nutritional info on their website, the big mouth bites have 1790 calories, and 111 grams of fat. Another popular item is the crispy honey-chipotle chicken crispers, totaling 1700 calories, 77 grams of fat and 57 grams of sugar.

Other dishes in this calorie range include the bacon ranch steak quesadillas (about 1790 calories and 139 grams of fat) skillet queso appetizer, texas cheese fries, southern smokehouse burger, and too many other items to list.

(I'm assuming that the sides for each menu item is included in the calorie amount.)

 

you can take a look for yourself:

Is working at any of Chili's, Applebee's, or Friday's basically the same? Is one of those supposed to be a much better working environment than the others?

Asked by Ogre over 11 years ago

I've actually never worked at Applebee's or Friday's. But they all seem like really similar restaurants with really similar items, so it's likely they are run almost the same. Also it probably depends on the managers

What's the grossest thing you've seen in the kitchen?

Asked by Shannon1 over 11 years ago

I've actually never seen anything really gross in the kitchen.

Have you been hit on a lot as a waitress? Do you flirt back with hopes of enhancing your tips, or do you put your foot down?

Asked by TGIFred over 11 years ago

I don't ever remember being hit on by customers. Most of the people I see come in as couples or families. Although the busser at my job is a middle aged guy, and he was really creepy towards me for a while. I started acting mean and he stopped!

 

After applying online yesterday, I just scheduled an interview with a local Chili's for next week, any tips for my interview? How did you make yourself stand out against the other candidates when you applied?

Asked by Xander over 11 years ago

I think they were desperate to hire employees. Actually I feel like Chili's (at least the one I work at) is more of an entry level restaurant. They are willing to take people without experience and teach them how to be a server. As long as you are a good person without a criminal background and are willing to learn and get better, you will probably be fine.

Sorry for the late response BTW, I hope they hired you!
