staff requirements for serving Trump diet coke... 7 steps illustrated with 4 photos [View all]


https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/02/19/trump-hotel-employees-tell-all-what-it-was-really-like-serving-right-wing-elite/

Donald Trump needed his Diet Coke opened in front of his eyes and had to hear the pop of the new ketchup bottle being unsealed reveal his hotel staff as they lift the lid on life serving the MAGA elite

Trump's requirements, as outlined by the magazine:

As soon as Trump was seated, the server was to 'discreetly present' a mini bottle of Purell hand sanitizer - even pre-COVID. Trump is a known germaphobe.

Then, the server had to say: 'Good (time of day) Mr. President. Would you like your Diet Coke with or without ice?'

The details on pouring the soda were seven steps long and illustrated with four photos.

The diet coke had to be opened in front of Trump and 'never beforehand.'

The server was to hold a longneck-bottle opener by the lower third of the handle in one hand and the Diet Coke, also by the lower third, in the other.

The drink was to be placed at Trump's right-hand side: 'Repeat until POTUS departs.'

Trump always had the same thing to eat: shrimp cocktail, well-done steak, and fries (plus sometimes apple pie or chocolate cake for dessert).

Popovers - a double serving - had to be served within two minutes and the crustaceans 'immediately.'

The server had to open mini glass bottles of Heinz ketchup in front of Trump, taking care to ensure he could hear the seal make the 'pop' sound.

Additionally, a tray of junk food needed to be available for every Trump visit.

It was to contain: Lay's potato chips (specifically, sour cream and onion), Milky Way, Snickers, Nature Valley Granola Bars, Tic Tacs, gummy bears, Chips Ahoy, Oreos, Nutter Butters, Tootsie Rolls, chocolate-covered raisins, and Pop-Secret.
