Stuck Up As*Holes

September 30, 2011

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 [...]

Host Woes

September 10, 2011

I work in a fantastic pizza restaurant as both a host and a server. (It’s great- amazing bosses, amazing coworkers, and they feed us all the time.) I hosted for two years before starting to serve, but I loved it so much I still host on Friday nights. These are some things I see all [...]

Job Application No-No

September 8, 2011

I work for my family as our Indian Restaurant in a small town, which is sort of a suburb of a larger city 15 minutes away. We have been open about a year & from day 1, I have been de-facto in charge when my dad is not there and even when he is, he [...]

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 [...]

Okay so I work at a five star restaurant…and I average about 100$ to 150$ a night and its pretty easy work. BUT GOD DAMN their are some pretty dumb people out there. Might I add, some real assholes as well. In my opinion, if you plan on dining out , especially if your going [...]

Truly The Weirdest Experience of Any Server

July 20, 2011

I worked at a popular Italian-American chain. It was about 40 minutes to closing and I knew that the table that sat in my section in the bar area would not be gone by closing time. It was a couple, about 30, and they seemed a little weird. It almost seemed as though they were [...]

Stubborn Cork

July 19, 2011

Usually, with a little care, I can open a bottle of wine even when the cork has broken in half. Tonight, for the first time, I and the rest of the floor staff were absolutely defeated by a wine cork. It was crumbly–but ONLY in the center. After 3-4 of us had tried, each using [...]
