I have this thing I do..I bartend. It's a fun time. Get to meet new people, make fun of a lot of people, make drinks, sample drinks. And you know it's a great spare time filler. OK, truth, I have no spare time I bartend b/c no matter how many damn money trees I plant there ain't no hundred dollah bills falling off them. I must have messed it up somehow. Maybe I should've used a different fertilizer! Anyway so I bartend for a convenient job as I go back to school, again, raise my kids and husband. Along the way I get to watch peoples annoyances, or quirks as I'm sure they want them to be called.
This is just a small list of the things that make us servers go "hmmmm" or spit in their food (kidding I have never ever spit in someones food, I have a fear that will happen to me so I will in no way do it to someone else).
1. Can I get you something to drink today? "No I think I'll just take water!"
Ummm I'm pretty sure water qualifies as a drink. But maybe I'm wrong
2. "I will have water, with ice and a straw in a glass."
Wow good thing you told me you needed a glass I usually put drinks in bowls with a
sometimes I leave out the spoon so I can watch you drink like an animal...it's what keeps me going.
3. If we come up to a table with one person sitting there but there are 3 extra menus, we aren't stupid we
know you are waiting on someone. We didn't ask. We asked if you needed a drink, a response to that
isn't "I'm waiting on a couple more people. So I will just have a water for now I guess".
4. Ordering hot tea when it's 100deg outside is nuts. And annoying. It's like a walking death wish. Just walk
front of the bus and get it over with....it'd be easier I suppose
5. As you are looking down on us, because we're "just your server", but then look at the menu that says
"lunch specials" then asking, do you have a lunch special menu or is this it?, or Do you serve lunch today?
makes you sound stupid, and look worse. We look down on you and your idiotic ways.
6. You never know a servers story, where they are in life, what they're doing in life, why they're working
(cash paycheck every night bitches), or anything else. So never treat them like they are below you, or
your servants b/c THEY TOUCH AND SERVE YOUR FOOD silly fools!
7. Your child running around the restaurant, or all over the "private" party room isn't cute, or funny.
Especially when you're sitting there drinking an adult beverage talking to the other "adults" laughing and
ignoring the chaos. It's bad parenting, this isn't your house, get some control moron!
8. When you use the restroom at home, do you open the bathroom door with a paper towel and then
precede to throw said paper towel on the floor by the door and just walking away. What the hell is that?
Dirty jerks! Are you too lazy to carry it to a garbage or to figure out how to the open the door and then
toss it!
9. I can't imagine while dining at home you drink 2 pitchers of sweet tea....wait never mind by the looks of it
maybe you do, maybe you do.
I'm sure there are many more. I see something new everyday and I'm always amazed your momma's ever let you out of the house to begin with when you were little.I saved the best for last, I guess this was taught in some etiquette class I missed or my mom and dad brought me up all wrong. Because this guy seems to have a eating habit that compares with no one else.
Yea. That's right. Both feet up on the table, crossed, chilling, eating. Just being wrong!
Public: By all means keep coming out to eat though because as great as you think you are you are what keeps us going and smiling all night long. You're the reason when we really don't wanna carry one more plate or drink to a table we keep going and laughing all the while! Live on dirty people, live on!
