Weeb notes - Wagamama means selfish in Japanese, like it’s meant for you to be selfish and treat yourself. What it actually signifies is the restaurant itself is selfish for making you wait until your retirement party for your food whilst sat next to a bunch of strangers doing exactly the same thing.
その通りです！
Watching from Malaysia.
And he hit it on the head about food all coming at different times.
Restaurants here do that and its infuriating. It's the norm rather than the exception.
I demanded the waiter or waitress to get all my dishes arrive at the same time. I don't care if you are going to take forever to do it. I can't be having one main then wait another half an hour for my next food
I worked at many restaurants in Malaysia and never have the food come out at different times even if we have to remake so the dishes all served together without one gone gone stale. Street food is different.
I can think of numerous reasons to not frequent Starbucks. The primary reason being shit product. Over-roasted/burnt beans seem to attract the sheeple that frequent corporate chains (not just coffee). Thankfully, where I live there are numerous coffee shops that treat their products with respect. And even better, most of them are directly accross the street from Starbucks and they attract far more people. Quality>everything.
What funny about Starbucks is their customer base is like 90% females... Just watch your local starbucks nad check the customers... ANotehr Andrew Tate predatory model.. Imagine if Starbucks didn't exist and 99% of the restaurants... just peopel being professionals and making meals at home and keeping health and professional relations.. nope, we have ot be under constant stress and told were useless and make nonsense.... for nonsense people... Its like idiots making fun of chiropractors.. They are great.. .Chiropractors should have an association and meet ups and a relation of the engagement of bones, and yes sometimes.. like less than 0.0001 percent of those customers can get injured, very rare though, and typically its not malpractice, but we are humans not perfect... meh
Their blonde roast is lighter and not bad at all. I always go for that. I hate their regular burnt coffee taste product also.
@@disarchitected too acidic. Sbux is trash.
Costas are Fair Trade.
The burnt roast isn’t strong enough. Needs an extra shot to taste.
isnt there egg whites used to thicken the sorbet?
Some sorbets are not vegan and may have eggs/milk/cream, but most sorbets are just fruit purée and sugar. Fiber and/or pectin in the fruit provides the thickening
“Everything’s coming up Ranganathan” 😂
Oreo cookies are Vegan.
Anyone that says Starbucks is shit, I will personally give a LIKE instantly.
Starbucks is shit.
From my experience as a waiter you would actually be surprised just how many times people forget what they've ordered. Good chance the plates you're holding while people try and remember are slowly removing a layer of epidermis from your fingers and arm.
You need more likes 😂
My parents ran a restaurant in the 80's/90's. My mums favourite visitor was a Down's Syndrome lad, he only ever ordered sausage & chips and vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce for afters, and he was a lot more polite than some people 😂
Starbucks, like Costa is for people who like to 'grab' the mandatory coffee on the way to work in the morning and walk along with it held two foot in front of them and their mobile glued to their ear…
Wankers
Poetry.
At Wagamama,s the food arrives when it arrives bc wagamama 我儘 means “selfish, self-indulgent, wilful” in Japanese
Wagamama is the Starbucks of Asian food.
In Perth in Western Australia restaurants serve meals whenever. You could be having your dessert while your companion still hasn’t got his entree
I have never been to Wagamama and after watching this, I don't think I ever will! 😂
You'd be right.i was only in wagamama once!.you certainly couldn't haveva personal conversation.we were on top of each other on a busy saturday.frm dublin,ireland.
@@eileencoburn8631 i hated the food-is that suppose to be japanese??i've know a takeaway that's 10x better
@@burlhorse61 I think any decent Japanese person would avoid a place like that. They would not wish to be insulted.
@@SuperGingerBickies agreed
I never heard of it before, and now I don’t think I ever will.
I was a line chef at wags for a year when at uni, i enjoyed it at first because i love cooking (they always claimed they were top and they made the best chefs) half the staff I new left to management that was a mess, top management would just shit on any chef he didn’t like. There was beef going on between managers so some left then go replaced by either shit managers or ones they over worked.
That was just staff,
The food!
There literally was too many options and not even space to cook (its called a line chef for a reason because its a thin spaced cooking area and your in a line).
There was roughly just as many vegan options as there were standard options. But there was three fries two of them being for standard options and one of them being for vegan. Half the time a lot of people that came to eat both went for vegan options and the main options so that was never just a one-sided meal choice. This caused issues because certain dishes couldn’t be cooked in the same fryer which extend the time you had to wait for you to come out obviously there being one fry for vegan meant cooking was longer than the mains would take (but the thing was both options were same in popularity so you never had space to cook) or staff would over order on your screen and then you had meals off screen you cant see or cook (talking like 22 orders with like 2 mins difference and only 12mins allowed get each meal out) it was too stressful so i left
that's why it's better to work at a vegan restaurant mate, there's never any beef
Once in Wagamama, I sat next to someone who didn’t know how to use chopsticks, she kept splashing me with her noodles. Was very annoying.
Aww she sounds cute
Feel your pain. Nothing worse than an idiot who decides to persevere with their idiocy.
I suggested she use the big wooden spoon, she tried it, said she didn’t like it and went back to using chopsticks and splashing me again. She did look sheepish after splashing me the 3rd time but was very persistent.
Sounds like an awkward date, go for a pizza next time
I still can't use chopsticks very well even as an adult. I just ask for a fork though 😂
I live in rural Andalucia. We get good quality produce cooked simply, bit boring but it is what it is. I went home to London in September, places like Starbucks etc was full of pretentious idiots, happy to pay a few quid for a coffee that I can buy for about one euro. Could not find a proper cafe. The old place has changed so much and little of it for the better
andalucia spain is a beuatiful place with a rich history of literature, religion, science. cuisines. Islam ruled the golden era between 700 and 1500 and sciecne thrived. Andalucia is still beaming with beauty. God bless
In Catalunya where I used to live, borderline offal like galtes (pigs cheeks) and ungles (trotters) is offered up as some kind of treat!!
Jeez ten euros for frikkin dog food! Gimme KFC any day.
Yup we've fucked it
the more i watch this guy the more i like him!!
Starbucks is trash. I've never been to Wagamama, and I don't feel remotely compelled to. Romesh is like the modern day Jack Dee!
F in Starbucks, almost a fiver for a shitty coffee. Never ever again..
Yeah, and they burn down rainforest to grow that sh*t.
Even the owner said he was surprised people are willing to buy at those prices.
plus half of it is froth-sometimes i just make my coffee and bring it into work.
Learned so much by watching this ! Awesome
good stuff
I know he has to shock...but...really?
Really
I went straight with a scoop of each, but yeah, fair point.
You ain't got no friends either? 😂
Getting tired of the same jokes
wagamama (わがまま): selfishness; egoism; self-indulgence; willfulness. now you know!
In a Miami restaurant, my wife and I got our sweet before the main course.....
That's awful,i'd be fuming.
@@eileencoburn8631 We were the onply people in the restaurant the manager was seated not far away looking thru his accts.....
LUKEWARM WEAK OVERPRICED WATER WITH JUST A HINT OF COFEE £ 2.85
Caffe Nero and Itsu are 100x better.
A 100 times 0 is still 0, a.k.a pretty shit. Can't find any Nero barista who actually know what the heck the difference between a latte and a cappuccino is. They seem to think it's the same thing.
That sorbet joke is lame. Why don't you just not eat at a restaurant.
So not funny, it's amazing.
YeH eating alone is shit
0:40 Starbucks
Apple crumble!
I love Wagamama and yes I always have the loner bench, cause no one I know likes it and they wall go to 5 guys instead. I don't give a fuk.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my lord so f*****ing hilarious
He's like Chidi from the good place lol
Not really...
I ordered two grande coffees to be delivered On a lazy Sunday… £13 haha
Just not funny.
Brilliant. 😂
There are no punchlines. This is not funny
Best comedy is the truth.
He's No.1 in the Alternative 2A Comedian listings for sure. I was told his humour was dry. Parched would be a far better description
Crap
I love Starbucks, the Bears the Nitro-coffee. Whats not to like?
Not drinking swill made from burnt beans is one of the things to like by not buying Starbucks. Overpriced, no attention to quality and no real barrista experience in their employees. The list could go on and on.
@@atheisthumanist1964 Thats a bit harsh. Better than an instant. I live in China.
@@atheisthumanist1964 The beans don't taste burnt. And that's what matters.
Latest survey says Starsucks has the LEAST caffeine in their drinks. Cheap and nasty.
There's a war in Syria?
Sure is its still occupied years after being invaded by America and turkey and Israel bombs it whenever they feel like it. Media doesn't care cause brown people, it's all about Ukraine theses days
Why is this uploaded now? It's ages old.
Content doesn't create itself.
You're right it's an absolute disgrace. I'll be furious if his next special isn't here on RUclips at the same time he's playing it live.
May be because stuff gets uploaded to YT once it stopped selling?
Oh no. The free media you're being offered wasn't made this week, how terrible.
@@loading9110 Haha, the audacity!
funny as fuck
They're packed because they're so good
Dude is simply swearing every 11 seconds to cover up poor jokes
Your opinion.
The only funny thing about this guy is his wonky eye.
You need to listen more than you read Stephen _Reader_
@@RamjeProductions A typical wonky response. I don't find him funny. Get over it.
yup, people are stupid.....but at least you freed yourself and voted for Brexit !
i'm a sever at wagamama and the numbers on the mats is for us not you. ppl give lots of blank stares when you ask them if they ordered something so if it's on the paper then you've ordered it. and on the topic of food arriving at different times it's bc everything is from scratch and usually every section is slammed at all times so it's not uncommon for sides to arrive after the mains because ya know...that's how cooking works
If it doesn't arrive with the meal it's not a side though
@@markphc99 so is it not a side if it comes before the meal then? a side dish has no time limit it's a classification of a type of serving.
That’s how cooking works if you don’t know what the f you are doing. He covered how to organise starters arriving before mains. It’s real simple cook one before the other 🤦♂️
@@The-Real-Ando what part of from scratch didn't land for you bro. They are usually starting on the main first bc it takes longer and starters are batches made from scratch and are already balancing a restaurant worth of ppls orders with weird stupid requests added on.
@@tobiasneethling8871 I've working in catering for well over two decades, I've done everything from al a carte down to al a ping. It's really not difficult to organise it from scratch, in fact it's easier than when you're microwaving a frozen lasagne and the cunt just won't hit core temp. The problem Wagamamas has isn't that 'every section is slammed at all times', it's that you're not properly staffed, trained, or paid. Just like every other chain restaurant.
....that supposed to be funny?
Yes.
We can explain the jokes TO you, but we can't understand them FOR you.
They are quite funny, thanks for asking.
Someone works at one of these shitholes. 😂
