  I’ll never forget this 4 top i was waiting on at a steakhouse i once worked for. They ALL ordered steaks….steaks with salads and loaded baked potatoes…the whole nine yards. I’m chatting it up with them, we’re all laughing, having a great time. I’m so confident i’m getting a great tip. Check time comes. [...]

Oh Look, Here Comes A Douchebag

October 19, 2011

I have recently turned 24, I’ve gone to university for a couple years, worked my ass off to get my diploma, and I make more money with my tips than I would working fulltime as a legal assistant (what i studied) at the lawfirms in my small town. ITS HORSE-CRAP. Im still looking for a [...]

Blondie, Bling, & The 5 Hour Dinner

October 10, 2011

Table 12. This extravagant old lady (let’s call her Betty), came in at 6pm, told me her two friends will be joining her. She also pointed to the other seats and said, “Since there will be three of us you’ll need to bring three separate checks.” It’s at this point I get to say something [...]

Stuck Up As*Holes

It was a really busy Sunday afternoon, Sunday’s are always our busiest day of the week because it’s when big families come out for a traditional Sunday roast. At around 1pm (our rush is from 1-3) a mother and her daughter enter the restaurant and the host tells me she has seated them in my [...]

Fun Tables

September 3, 2011

The restaurant I work at is on the fancy end for this part of Central Wisconsin. People here (as in most of middle class America, I’d suggest) rate a restaurant as good if it has massive portions that are cheap. Not a shock, I’m sure. Our restaurant bucks that mold with some high quality ingredients [...]

India Indian Food

September 1, 2011

I work at an Indian restaurant that my family owns, in a small town where not a lot of people are familiar with Indian food. We are only about 15 minutes away from a bigger city though so we usually get polar opposites of people: know nothing or think they know everything. I have to [...]

Beating Your Kids At My Restaurant Is NOT Alright!

August 18, 2011

To the disgusting fat body who thinks it’s alright to beat your little girl, (and by beat, I mean BEAT, full-on Ike Turner) you may just want to make sure the waiter didn’t serve in the Marine Corps, and the table he’s waiting on isn’t full of off-duty state troopers (Just a thought, you can [...]
