just a lil venting!

ok i do truely believe that every person needs to be a waiter/waitress at least once in their lives. with that being said..... you will learn that you are not the only table they have, you will have more patience and you will learn that yes we will prolly be able to live without your $1. For instance....stop looking around... you making dirty looks at me is just gonna make me wait longer to get to you.. and i'll do it with a smile on my face. :-) when i tell you i will be right with you.... i will be.. don't motion for me.. i have not forgotten about you!!  do not send someone over to tell me you are ready to order.... look around.. you are not my only table! If you need something like a refill or box.... please get it all in one trip.. say.. there are 3 people at the table.. one needs a refill.. your server asks 'any refills?" that goes for the whole table... not one person at a time. granted i understand if there is a long time in between refills.. that's ok, it's not ok if i bring a refill only for you to hurry and finish your drink so i can get you one when i return to the table. if i ask if everything is ok.. i'm not just asking for my health.. this is your chance to speak up...

"do you know what i heard?":
Please Please Please.. when i approach your table and say HELLO can you try your best to acknowledge me!! when i ask 'are you ready to order?' this doesn't mean.. 'well... idk what are you having?... idk what are you gonna have'.. it means 'yes or no' i can give you more time.. for me to actually do something else for someone else. also.. when you can clearly see that i am busy, can you finish your conversation after i get your order????? i don't really care to hear "yea and he said... she said.... and then i did..... " all i care about is what you want to eat and drink.. i swear you will have plenty of time to go back to what you were talking about when i leave.

"let me see what i have for you sweetie':
those of you who would prefer to leave coins instead of paper.... i know i have pockets in my apron but i'm not looking forward to carrying an extra 10 lbs in it! if you think that eating out is going to give you an excuse to clean out the bottom of your purse.. maybe you should have just packed a lunch. trust me we are not going to enjoy walking around for the next couple hours with jingle bells in our pocket.  i can almost guarantee we will remember you the next time you come in. if you have no choice to leaving a bunch of change.... at least gather it up and make dollar bills out of it..

 "is our food ready yet????":
OH and believe me... i have noticed that you're food isn't ready yet.. and no i'm not making it..  we are not holding it hostage in the kitchen...you are not on MTV's show boiling point. we are not picking on your table, cuz incase you haven't noticed i work for tips! i am just as irriated as you are that your food isn't ready yet. If you want fast food you prolly should have gone to McDonalds or Burger King! if you go to a sit down restaurant.. there will more than likely be at least a 10-15 min wait on food! we tend not to pre make dinners or subs! if you would like frozen pizza, dinners, and only cold subs please let me know when i take your order. we do not microwave your food... unless you would like to request that! if you keep asking me about your food you are only going to irriate me that much more, i can only check on your food i can not make the cooking/preparing go faster... i am just the messenger.. and don't try to trick me into thinking you got here and hour ago when you've only been sitting there for 20 mins and ordered 10 mins ago since you weren't ready when i came up the first time. guess what??!! i know how to tell time! ha!

And dont get me started on the customers that only complain to get free food everytime they come in!!! you're annoying! bam!

mmm... i think that might be all i have for now... shuuu i do feel a bit better :-)  thanks for listening! and if you haven't seen the movie 'waiting' or 'still waiting' you def should go rent it, your whole outlook on serving will change :-) hope you enjoyed it :-) and for danged sakes Tina! if you don't eat your dinner you will starve!!! :-) love ya'll! YYEEEEEAAA AMERICA!!
