Oh, you must have learned that in Waitress School...

My first night closing at this particular restaurant, this lady and her grown daughter, and son in law came in to eat. The couple shared an appetizer, and she ordered a steak, with fries and veggies. She specifically told me she wanted the veggies and fries prepared AFTER the steak, to insure that they would be nice and hot. Now, I know that I would want the same things done for me, because it is nice to have everything fresh. But I can almost guarantee that if you're going to a sit down restaurant, and not McDonald's you shouldn't have to worry about not getting fresh food.

Now, her food is out, and as soon as it is called I run back there and bring it out to her to insure freshness, and that nothing has any time to cool off. (I'm sorry if you burnt your mouth because of this, lady....okay maybe I'm not sorry, but still.) I notice her drink is a little less than half full so I go to the back, and get her another, bring it back to her and she said "Oh how nice, you must have learned to not let a customers glass get less than half full in Waitress School." Now thinking about this, I really wanted to come back with something along the lines of "No, sorry I go to NWMSU, I didn't think they had any courses like that, and if I were taking something like that I'd be far off track with the courses I'm supposed to be taking, since you know I am studying Office Information Systems and Public Relations, not that you'd know what those are anyway."

Some people... "Waitress School"?!?! I mean really. I'll tell you what school you should go to lady!

Oh so therapeutic this blog thing is.

I think I'll save more of these posts for later, I've already posted too much for one day.

"I also learned how not to be a condescending bitch there too. Oh wait, that's just common courtesy."

The only service people I am ever nasty to are the ones who start it first. Too bad that there are so many of the other kind of people out there that like to be bitchy just for bitchies sake. Oh and one teensy-weency little suggestion. If you made the font a little bigger it would be easier for the elderly to read. That means me.

Oh goodness. I don't know how you do it. I always knew that I could never wait tables, and this blog is proof of it.

As far as too many posts in one day...nonsense! There is no such thing as too many posts!

Keep it coming!
