We are intoxicated waiters working at a popular restaurant in South-East Iceland, AMA!

Does that mean that you work drunk? Also, goddamn is it a requirement to be drop-dead gorgeous to apply?

1. Your people skills increase a lot when you have a couple of brewskies in your system, so it really helps.
2. Thank you! You are just too kind.

did you choose that username? and whhhyyy? (curious)

It's a really nice name, and we think it suits us.

Are there black people in iceland?

Yes. 1 guy. He is nice.

Which one are you ignoring, Unnsteinn or Logi?!?

Logi is just not my type, sorry.

So about 12% of the population?

That sounds about right

I'm trying to remember any restaurant in south-east Iceland. Is this in Kirkjubæjarklaustur?

No comment

if it is, tell that awesome scotsman at the visitors center hello for me - met him last June and he was legit.

if not, well, takk anyways for the interesting AMA

Not Kirkjubæjarklaustur, no scotsman, sorry brah.

no worries friends, maybe bump into you guys in reykjavik for airwaves!

Hope you do mate

1. How are you managing to work and also reply to questions at the same time? Do you take it in turns...what's the strategy?

2. What was the inspiration for starting this thread?

1. We answer the questions in the cash register so every once in a while when we put in an order or print out a check, we answer a question.

2. Just for shits n gigs

Is it true that you never run out of ice in Iceland?

Yes it's true, the glaciers give us infinite ice.

1. is it really true that "Iceland is covered in green, and Greenland is covered in ice"? reference: http://www.mariaellingsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/The_mighty_ducks3.jpg

2. on the real: i'm going to iceland in november, what's the one thing i must see/do?

1. Yes it's true, it was a viking trap. A very successful one.
2. Reykjavik Downtown Poundtown during the weekend, bound to get intense.

I hear there's a lot of drinking in Iceland -- how social is it? Is it easy to get home if you've had too much?

Are tourists viewed well?

I've always wanted to visit and have been considering planning a trip within in the next year or so.

We fucking love tourists, specially when we're partying with them. Getting home just depends on where you're staying, in smaller towns it's a piece of cake but if you're in the Reykjavik area it might be a bit harder.

How many alpacas can a tiger eat in ten minutes?

I think two

What is Iceland like? Good points?

The night life is amazing during the weekends, it's extremely expensive and our girls aren't really that slutty.

That sounds terrible

i know rite?

How expensive we talking by the way? Is it like crazy expensive? Also is it easy to find work their as a tourist/visitor?

Too fucking expensive. Finding a job as a tourist is probably easy if you're familiar with the tourist industry.

What if canadians come bearing maple syrup gifts? I know chicks. Chicks dig that.

Well give us the syrup already, eyh?

Best and worst tip you ever received?

Other waiter here... I once got a Christian pamphlet from a Jehova's witness who tried to smear his religious views all over my perfect and chiseled body

Best tip was 13000ISK on a 14000ISK bill and worst tip was when a Japanese photographer gave me a calendar, gg.

Haha thanks. Its like. "Hey buddy you forgot something. Doesn't seem like you can afford to give these away." Is what idda said. Sure would..

Nah he was so happy, that i kinda felt for the fucker

At first I was confused. I thought you were talking about EVE. :( I have a disappointment.

EVE is the shit, but 13000ISK wont get you very far there.

A calender is a great tip. He gave you the gift of never forgetting what day it is. For a year.

I still use it, 3 years later.

So not so shitty then right?

Keeps giving me the wrong days, might be broken or something.

Would you rather fight one Icelandic horse sized arctic fox or 100 arctic fox sized Icelandic horses?

Option C: One Icelandic size fetus!

If someone delivers a pizza, what percentage of the bill would you tip?

0%, its not a custom

Other waiter here .. he pays us! =]

WHAT HAIR PRODUCT DO YOU USE?

After a decade of searching and perfecting we finally came to a conclusion. DAX and d:fi green/blue and you'll be getting pussy left and right.

What do the people over there think about Americans?? Like what's the stereotype?

There are a couple of Americans here right know. They have pretty obnoxious accents and talk A LOT about nothing.

[deleted]

HERE obviously and maybe the green lagoon

Do you know Bjork?

What do you do for fun?

We know who she is but we don't really know her personally. For fun we get fucked.

So no Harriets huh?

We have had names like Ljótur=Ugly, and Lofthæna=AirChicken. So I don't know whats wrong with Harriet

What are you intoxicated on?

Oh you know .. just the useehh. Drugs, sex and rock'n'roll!

How difficult is it to obtain marijuana up there? What's the quality like?

Not difficult at all if you're in the capital, might be a bit tricky when you live in a small town like we do, but then again it's easy as fuck if you know the right people.

Do you know if there are lots of Canadian travelers?

Did you mean lost? Cause there's a lot of lost Canadians over here.

Are you allowed to be tipsy at work? That'd be pretty cool.

Nope wink wink

Where do Icelanders typically travel to for their vacations?

Benidorm

How much do you think you could drink before you guys forget ever posting this?

Hopefuly not to much...The guests also need their amount of alcohol.

What's 2+2?

You tell me..

Is Sigur Ros required listening in primary school?

No! But it definately should be if we want our future to be full of icelandic hipsters.

I am not convinced that you are properly intoxicated, can you provide further proof?

How would you recommend we do so?

Yesterday there was a thread about drunks jumping several stories and surviving because the alcohol kept them loose. I would accept a video of such as proof.

That is maybe an extreme solution.

OP delivered!

aaahahaha, I hope he found a quite place to sit down.

hahahahahahhahahah yes.

since iceland is small, do you eventually meet all the well-known celebrities?

If you live in Reykjavik you see them once a week. We had the cast of game of throwns eating here 2 years ago, which was pretty cool(Jon Snow was small).

Aww. Small-Jon Snow sounds adorable.

He really was a cute little bugger

Are you guys football fans? Because damn you NT was close to the World Cup!

Yeah big fans of the EPL, LFC FWT!!

Is alchol the only thing you guys are intoxicated on?

At the moment, yes.

Is marijuana illegal?

Yup

Are you guys drunk on that crazy Brennivín?

No that comes later when were ready to get shitfaced.

Don't forget the hákarl.

You know what, fuck hákarl. It's terrible and nobody actually likes it.

What language(s) do you need to speak in the restaurant?

Icelandic, English,Danish,German,Fillipino and Swahili from time to time.

Speak them

Wewe ni rundo la kuanika farasi cum!

Filipino? I'm surprised! Are there a lot of Filipinos there to warrant you to know a smattering of our language?

I have only met one filipino, he was decent.

How's it like speaking Icelandic while drunk? Must come out like nonsense?

Imagine elvish from LOTR... it sounds nothing like that!

[deleted]

It's the glacier region bro

Is it illegal to drink on shift? I know for us its illegal, but you know fuck the law right, unless you get caught.

I don't think it's legal, not really sure.

How's the weather?

Like Cairo by Icelandic standards

So 3?

3 what

How frequently do you spill shit on your customers, or have you learned how to effectively "waiter-while-intoxicated"?

i can even count on my toes :/

Have you ever puked on a customer?

Define pukee?

What are you drinking?

Beer buddy

If invited would you come to the NWT? It's not that far.

National Womens Tennis?

North West Territories. In Canada.

Well one of us actually grew up in Canada, spent like 8 years of his life there, so if invited he would most likely be dtf.

[deleted]

Wife swap?

Do any of you follow Conor McGregor?

Fuck no, Gunnar "Gunny" Nelson über alles

How is the puffin at your restaurant?

We dont serve shit

What do fermented sharks, sheep testicles and sheep's head taste like?

The sheep testicles and sheep's head are pretty decent, but the shark is fucking disgusting and people should feel bad for eating it.

Have you ever peed in the blue lagoon because you know you can get away with it undetected?

Cant even count.

A friend of mine, bit of a bullshit artist, who used to live in Iceland told me once that when they were trying to establish more of a police force in the isolated areas, they just headed out from Reykjavik and stopped off in each little village, waited for the bars to close and for a massive brawl to spill out onto the street. They waited for the last man standing, put a baton and a badge in his hand, and said "you're the cop now". So, he said, Iceland is now full of massive cops (or was, back in the day).

Is there ANY truth to any of that?

While it's a great story, it has to be to most stupid made up shit I've ever heard. Sorry bro :(

Where the fuck are my eggs?

we aint got no eggs m8

Damn your still going at it. How was the party after work?

It was pretty good until B-Money got too drunk and just wanted to go to bed and watch Pitch Perfect of all movies.

[deleted]

Nope not really.

Why do you kill whales?

Why not? They're delicious as fuck.

I can confirm this, even as an American. I've been to Iceland three times already and have had the whale every time. It's delicious as fuck. Can't wait to eat more when I'm back there in November.

Well done son, i love you.
