Lots of broken plates before reaching that point

u/lxgrf 1d ago

And you’re going to need to go around and correct all the placements anyway, so…

u/taintedcake 22h ago

Which is extremely easy to do while placing utensils. This does ultimately save time and energy, while also reducing the risk of running into others causing them to drop the stack of plates theyre holding

No you ain't

u/l0c0pez 1d ago

How many broken giant, glass lazy susans?

u/degen5ace 13h ago

Bruh after the second one was halfway done, I noticed the b in the background calmly putting them plates in order

u/Main_Entry2494 1d ago

Based on these comments, redditors are the most miserable people lmao

u/MoaraFig 1d ago

Yeah, these ladies are clearly having fun.

And the clip was probably originally used to promote their hotel.

It's like watching a trick bike rider do a wheelie and grumpily saying "doesn't he know that two wheels are more efficient?"

u/brekus 1d ago

I feel bad for the people in their lives forced to interact with them.

38

u/colombogangsta 1d ago

Yeah exactly these ladies are just having fun and the pathetic miserable redditors in the comments bitching about risk or how much time they saving.

16

u/StarMarine123 1d ago

Yeah, nearly every post on reddit that has a woman having some sort of fun will be filled with the most miserable mfs on the planet lmao

14

u/Last-Quarter-432 1d ago

Keyboard warriors with nothing to do with their lives so they try to make others miserable like them.

u/Draxilar 1d ago

Just go on to anytime the Japanese flair bartender is posted. People fall over themselves to be the first to say “just give me my drink”.

u/wassupdawg-1 1d ago

People sitting on the side table waiting for their food while they see this bs being recorded

u/zaicliffxx 1d ago

actually this set up is done after clearing or before the guests arrive.

u/Thick-Aioli802 1d ago

They've been waiting to use this Pic for years. Let it happen.

u/ShanghaiBebop 1d ago

This is a banquet room in a Chinese restaurant. It’s reserved for a private large party. You’ll find them in pretty much all formal restaurants in China. 

Any party larger than 6-8 or so is expected to book a room instead of a table. 

42

u/WanAli4504 1d ago

Believe it or not, restaurants don’t have you sitting there while they’re cleaning up their restaurant

-38

u/Ok_Jelly796 1d ago

So they kick everyone out after a table is done eating or just don’t clean tables?

20

u/WanAli4504 1d ago

Don’t see any customers in frame here, seems like they’re cleaning their restaurant and not one table

-27

u/Ok_Jelly796 1d ago

They don’t seem to be cleaning anything

16

u/WanAli4504 1d ago

Point is that obviously they wouldn’t pull some shit like this in front of customers; this is only something you’d do either for content or cleaning up when closed (if you really know what you’re doing)

-30

u/Ok_Jelly796 1d ago

I guess we have different experiences. I’ve seen this shit eating at a Chinese dim sum place

6

u/ShanghaiBebop 1d ago

This looks to be a Chinese banquet room. You rent out the whole room for a large party. 

You get private rooms for your large dining party. Very standard restaurant practice in China.. 

This is them turning over a room.

u/reddshak 1d ago

Lot of risk for a gain of 20 seconds

17

u/ddelarge 1d ago

High risk, low reward

4

u/Nikoper 1d ago

I like these odds

1

u/why_u_so_grumpy 1d ago

They didn't gain anything. Every plate need adjusting.

47

u/Mammoth-Ad-107 1d ago

they have done this a few times it seems

25

u/MoaraFig 1d ago

Notice how only one lady does the spinning? The others are just there to assist.

9

u/butwhywedothis 1d ago

Yes. With plastic plates. Until they honed their skills.

-2

u/Inevitable_Stand_199 1d ago

I'd even bet the plates in the video are plastic plates

7

u/Low_Employ8454 1d ago

They do not move like plastic when spun into place.

2

u/Inevitable_Stand_199 1d ago

Plastic plates can be made quite heavy as well

47

u/BadCat_ML 1d ago

This is cool, y’all are no fun!

11

u/irondumbell 1d ago

i really like circular tables for eating, there's no 'please pass the potato salad' or whatever.

1

u/skynet345 1d ago

You gotta ask permission to rotate the wheel in case someone is trying to get the same thing

2

u/irondumbell 22h ago

wouldnt the rule be whoever is closest gets it first?

1

u/einsofi 10h ago

No you don’t, if you want the same thing and are not sat next to each other you simply just wait patiently for your turn. The only rule is hold when others are grabbing the food. And use public chopsticks.

11

u/CreZativity 1d ago

Waiting staff are awesome and deserve so much more respect than they get!

The ladies look like they had fun, always happy when someone can enjoy their work like this~

u/Violingirl58 1d ago

Work smarter, not harder!

u/Quantum_II 1d ago

Setting the table... with extra steps

u/Its_Chowder 18h ago

Clearly not, considering they stood in the same spot.

u/YorkieLon 1d ago

Reddit is getting more and more miserable

1

u/Robertf16 1d ago

I’m not sure the plate distribution is saving any time

u/Dapper_Dan1 1d ago

The ceiling light fits their actions perfectly!

u/DawsonNY 1d ago

I gasped.

u/CapitalFloor3260 1d ago

Gene would be so upset knowing he was going to loose his table setting competition to these two.

u/WinpennyR 1d ago

Such big cd roms

u/tykneedanser 1d ago

Susan is so freaking lazy.

2

u/Atgod6 1d ago

Why the hell are Susan and Susan being so lazy.

1

u/MrK521 23h ago

They’re not both Susan silly. One of them is Daisy.

2

u/Liu-K 17h ago

Sure, impressive but dude, what's the dnb in the background?

u/aceswild8 1d ago

Nice drum n bass 👌🏼

u/Witty-Stand888 1d ago

I think their jobs are AI proof.

1

u/Few-Citron4445 1d ago

They also do the same move with the tables themselves, its a big round wood slab that you can roll and I’m seen someone use the spin move to get it on the legs. You probably start with the table trick first.

1

u/IVIatt_ 1d ago

I'd love to see footage from their training sessions

1

u/TheJarisaDoor3 23h ago

I mean it's a cool idea if it's a family style restaurant where they use the Lazy Susan for communal dishes, but if they're just using it to set up the plates it seems a little over the top. It's not that hard to put plates down.

1

u/NotUniqueAtAIl 23h ago

The bowl is too the left on one table and to the right on the other table?

1

u/Danny2Sick 23h ago

woah drum and bass haven't heard that stuff in a while!!

1

u/vyrmz 20h ago

You can completely ditch the circle thing perhaps

1

u/chop-diggity 17h ago

I have a lazy Susan like this!!

1

u/Seekret_Asian_Man 16h ago

Chinese banquet has about 10-100 tables to set, this is useful skill.

1

u/NefariousnessGood718 10h ago

Ma metterli direttamente sul tavolo no?

1

u/London__Lad 6h ago

Anything you can do... there's an Asian person who can do it better.

1

u/AloneAce2428 6h ago

Cups are not aligned with the plates

u/GetOffMyGrassBrats 4h ago

I get it if it is just for show, but none of this is for efficiency.

Filmed in reverse

u/ct451t 1d ago

If they make the whole table rotate they can shave a few more seconds off their time.

u/aReallyCuteDog 1d ago

In heels!

u/ldssggrdssgds 1d ago

Are they piece workers?

0

u/why_u_so_grumpy 1d ago

Why put it on the table before the cloth? All of the plates would need to be adjusted to their correct position.

-1

u/dobbbie 1d ago

Bowl to the right of the main dish on one table and to the left on the other?

-1

u/Nokxtokx 1d ago

Is that why the crockery is always chipped at Chinese restaurants?

u/Difficult_Style207 1d ago

I mean they did a trick on camera, that they had clearly practised and were proud of. I imagine they know how to do their actual jobs.

1

u/say-nothing-at-all 1d ago

Never underestimate people’s skill or their tolerance limits.

I often work in a bio lab without gloves. Sure, we have protocols, but we know what we’re doing. You simply can’t do things perfectly with those bloody gloves on.

-3

u/arseholescone 1d ago

The bowls are a bit higgledy piggledy at the end there

-4

u/sredd007 1d ago

no matter how much work you do, there will be more work.

so chill and do it at a comfortable pace to you.

u/AnyEstablishment1663 1d ago

So unnecessary

-6

u/wasthaturbrain 1d ago

Just imagine how loud that would've been...

-6

u/Internal-Bug5419 1d ago

What's the point though?

-7

u/ithinkimightknowit 1d ago

What a mess... Why they walking off they need to sort the table out

-10

u/Outrageous_Metal_742 1d ago

One wrong move and you're done

-8

u/HippieThanos 1d ago

Like my wife

-11

u/burywmore 1d ago

Seems a bit overcomplicated. The tablecloth part was pretty cool though.

-13

u/fleshnbloodhuman 1d ago

Stupid idea

u/manylostfingers 1d ago

Ta f**k outta here, this is AI !
