	2008.02.21 00.57 Research help... I didn't see any rules posted for the comm, so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I need some help here^_^;; I'm not a waitress (and I don't want to be...honestly, I dunno how you guys manage to keep your sanity x_x), but I'm writing something, and I don't know how certain things work in your..erm..work. heh. If ANY of you are willing to help me out..I'm not sure what I can offer, besides gratitude, but if there' s anything you guys might request (barring sexual favors, of course) I'll see what I can do:D the questions if you're willing: ( just a few^_^Collapse ) if any of you are college students, and still feeling helpful, here's a couple more questions:X ( college questions...Collapse ) thanks in advance? :D ~Angel Mood: indifferent



	2008.01.16 09.19 take action! hey everyone! i'll admit i haven't been on this thing forever, so i'm sorry if it has already been discussed. and mods - PLEASE don't delete this as spam because it is not, it is very important and something that could very significantly affect each and every one of us! if you haven't heard about this, representative (and presidential candidate - remember this when primary time comes around!) ron paul has introduced a bill to the house of representatives which would amend the internal revenue code of 1986 to provide that tips shall not be subject to income or employment taxes. in other words ... YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY TAX ON ANY OF YOUR TIPS!! the problem is that the process for a bill to become a law is a long one and does not always have a successful ending. we, as employees in the service industry, need to tell congress that we won't stand for essentially being punished for performing our jobs well. we need to encourage them to pass this bill asap! here you can find the members of the house ways and means committee, which is currently reviewing the bill and will eventually schedule it for debate: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/committee.xpd?id=HSWM ... if you see any of your representatives on here, or even if you don't but you want to contact some or all of them, send them a call, fax, or letter. it doesn't have to be anything long, just explain to them why it is important to you and encourage them to rapidly get this bill scheduled for debate so its passage can be sped up! as you can see, the ways and means committee has a TON of bills in front of them right now, which is why it is crucial that we take some action. it won't take much of your time but the results could literally change your life. hopefully we can make a difference. if you would like to read the full text of the bill, it can be found here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-3664 thanks for reading all this and good luck!



	2006.06.14 22.54 newbie hi all! i'm starting waitressing tomorrow at a small sushi restaurant which is also just opening tomorrow, but i have no serving experience whatsoever and have received no training and i'm nervous as hell! i'm not even worried about how much money i will or won't make, i'm just worried about looking like a complete fool cause i don't know the first thing. so i was just wondering, am i like completely screwed? lol. what last minute advice might you have to offer?



	2006.05.07 00.44 New to comm and Ryan's Hi everyone! I'm Holly, 20, starting my first (official, tax-wise) job Monday at 10am as a server at Ryan's near my home. I'm going to University currently for Journalism, so I have to interact with strangers all the time. I've got pre-job jitters, so does anyone have any advice for a bubbly redhead on how to earn more tips? Everyone wants the answer to that question, but what kinda ethics are involved for counting tips and such as that. My step-dad provides for a 4-person family now (I'm the youngest) and so my summer job is necessary towards any school funds I'll have for next year (scholarships, ahem). Also, introduce yourself to me! Talk to me about work stuffs, because I'm quite nervous about Monday. =\ Mood: restless



	2006.03.18 05.05 Heh. I LOVE working St. Pats. I'm a bartender. I made uber good money, but I'm not sure if it was worth it. Here's a list of the things I personally broke tonight: 1. 25 new pint glasses. 2. My glass tip jar. 3. The blender. 4. The dishwasher. 5. The till. 6. An electrical outlet. 7. The vacuum. 8. Maybe a toe. 9. Another fucking tooth. Funny story. I dropped a box of pints on my foot, broke most of them. And quite possibly a toe. Of course this was during my most slammed time of the night. I finally get that all swept up and trashed. Then I go to grab my cute little tip jar I keep on the counter and slam it into my beer taps. That fucker was full of quarters and bills. They went everywhere, as did shards of glass. I get that mostly cleaned up (the bills, I just left the coins on the floor as I was too busy to pick them all up) when my dishwasher stops running. Just stops. I pull all the glasses out and start tearing the machine up while trying to pour drinks as fast as I can and cash out customers. Then the till stops working. Just stops. Thankfully I'm one of those employees who has a till key, so I unlocked it, and just grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down all the drinks I was selling while making change for the customers. I finally get through the rush, and have time to fix my dishwasher. I turn my attention the the till and get it unjammed, somehow, when I borke my tip jar a quarter had fallen into the till and jammed the gears. I finally get settled, and have an uneventful 15 minutes to enjoy a peaceful, un-broken bar. A customer comes in and asks for a blended virgin strawberry margarita. I load the blender and start it. Thank god I walked to the other side of the bar, because all of a sudden there was this huge snap, and electric sparks shoot out of the blender. So it, and the socket it was plugged into are both shot. I ended up muddling most of the margarita and apoligizing to the customer that it was so "chunky". He was fine, paid the $2 for the drink, and then left his change on the counter. Thinking he had made a mistake and forgotten it, I followed him and went to hand it back. Nope, it was for me. $18 on a $2 drink!! Woot!! Then I start vacuuming, and am doing well, when my vacuum starts to smell funy. Yup. Worn belt. In order to replace it, you have to strech the huge rubber belt and twist it to attach it. Well it slipped and ended up slingshoting into the tube of the vacuum to where it was impossible for me to get it out. Whatever, I'm done at this point. Just done. I put it in the back office and tape a note on it. They can deal with it in the morning. I'm counting out my till, and I must have been grinding my teeth (No clue why... my night wasn't stressful or anything.....) when I feel a sharp ass pain in my mouth. Half of one of my molars is gone. Just broke off. Fuckity mcFuckfuck. At least my cocktailer was awesome, my tips will pay for the dentist and I don't have to pay for any of my breakage.

	2006.02.23 23.25 Let's play a game. It's one of my favorites. We have this situation: The salads are coming down from the kitchen slower than they should (they should take 5 minutes, tops, and were taking, I guess, up to 20). Who is at fault? a) the service staff b) the food runner c) the guy making the salads ( and survey says!Collapse ) The customers don't like the menu. Who is at fault? a) the service staff b) the general manager c) the kitchen/the person who makes up the menu ( Survey Says!Collapse ) And on, and on. I swear, the service staff just gets shit on where I work. Everything, from the food coming wrong to the kitchen to the fact that people did not like the old menu were all our fault. If the food came down wrong from the kitchen, the service staff should catch it and not serve it to the table. Fine, whatever, but to get to the server wrong, it has to go through the line cooks putting the plate together, the executive/sous chef (whichever one happens to be on at the time), AND the foodrunner. But, if it hits the table wrong, it's none of THIER faults, it's the server's. Of course, because everyone else must do things with thier eyes closed around my workplace. GeneralManager instituted a "journal" of sorts, to figure out if the food problem orginates from the kitchen, or if it is the service staff's fault. Honestly? 9 times out of 10, it's a kitchen fuck up, because they just will not take the time to read tickets properly. So, for the first week or so, we all dutifully reported mistakes that came down from the kitchen, and whether or not it was service staff or kitchen. I stopped after a couple of weeks, because I was told that only things that CUSTOMERS complained about went into the "journal". Um, hello? If nothing is supposed to hit the table wrong, then WHAT will go in the book? NOTHING. Because the first night we had the "journal", where we were being cracked down upon to get everything RIGHT to the table? I had to send back EVERY.DAMNED.TRAY.THAT.I.GOT. EVERY SINGLE ONE. And EVERY SINGLE ONE was either a foodrunner mistake (missing items that THEY put on the tray) or a kitchen mistake (not even BOTHERING to read the ticket--I typed in "Kid's Pasta, butter and parmesan cheese on the side" and got kid's pasta with the butter ON the pasta and NO parmesan cheese. ~headdesk~ But wait, it's all MY fault, right? Because apparently I didn't type in my instructions clearly enough! ~head explodes~ That's what I was told. "Well, maybe they didn't do that because you weren't very clear in your instructions." WTF? How freaking HARD is it to read a ticket and NOT put the freaking butter ON the damn pasta? It's KID'S FOOD, for crying out loud! And don't even get me started about the menu. We had a "focus group" in November, and you know what they complained about most? Not the service (they dinged us on a couple of things, but you know, no one's perfect)...the MENU!! And how long did it take to get a NEW menu? FOUR MONTHS! The new menu didn't start until the beginning of February. Hello? FOUR MONTHS???? Ugh. Okay, I'm done.



	2006.02.16 03.34 I just changed places of serving....for the third time in about 7 months. I have bounced around alot since getting fired from the OG...went back to the Tony Roma's i worked at before Og, since I remembered why I hated it so much, I went to work at Montana's where I currently reside. Does anyone else feel similar to a pro athlete? in the way where you're a hockey player, and you get traded from team to team...the game is the exact same you just have a different uniform and have a different game plan? I sure do. i need a real job. a real real job.



	2006.01.17 02.15 Stupid Customer Of The Day story, starring: SC= stupid customer Me= brilliant server. And so modest, too. Me: Serves drinks to everyone at table. SC: "These glasses are so SMALL!" Me: "Oh, I know; we used to have tall ones, but they broke all the time. Don't worry, I'll be back with refills whenever you need me." SC: "And how much do you charge for these tiny glasses?!" Me: "...Well, the sodas and iced tea are $1.69, but that's with unlimited refills." SC: "That's a lot for such a tiny glass, don't you think?" Me: "You can have all you want, so really the glass size only means I refill you more often. It's $1.69 for unlimited soda or tea." SC: "Well, I just think it's too much for that little amount of soda." ...Right. Mood: ...why do I even try?



	2005.12.07 02.08 First-time poster-- I work in a locally-owned Chili's/TGIFs/Tchochkes-type restaurant. Sandwiches, pastas, steaks, wine and liquor, all conveniently located in the mall during the holiday shopping season. "Whee." Anyway, I want to share my favorite moment this week. The set-up: I'm serving a 3-top, Mom Dad and Kid. Our mall is rich in rednecky goodness. Me: "And what can drinks can I get y'all to start out with?" Mom: "Mountain Dew." Kid: "Mountain Dew." Dad hems and haws for a minute or so. I'm standing there trying not to seem too impatient. Finally he asks his wife whether she thinks he should have a drink (a "real" drink.) Her response, loud and clear as day: "Well, don't forget, you was the one bitching that you had the backdoor trots last night!" THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VISUAL. Not to mention the grammar. Explosive diarrhea aside, Dad finally orders a Long Island Iced Tea. I bring it out to him along with Mom and Kid's sodas. A few minutes later, I bring out their food, and Dad motions me over to ask, "Is this real, or do y'all use a Long Island mix?" Me: "No sir, I watched the bartender make it. It's made from scratch." Dad: Mumbles something to the effect that I'm full of it and so is the drink. A few minutes later I come out to ask how their food is, and notice that Dad's LIT glass is empty. Me: "Sir, can I get you another Long Island?" Dad: "Well, only if it's made for real this time and not from that crap!" Me: "I promise I'll stand at the bar and watch him make it, sir." So, I go to the bar. Ever since the Backdoor Trots incident, I've been keeping my coworkers posted on this particular table's antics. I show up at the bar complaining to our best manager about Mr. Backdoor Trots' issue with our Long Islands. Manager, who also tends bar, begins mixing the drink and says to me, "Now Sarah, just watch me." Me: "Oh, but I KNOW you make 'em from scratch- I've seen you make dozens of Long Islands! He's just full of-" Manager: "NO, dude. Just WATCH." She finishes up the Long Island, sticks in a straw, and pulls out the bottle of Aristocrat (our crap-ass house vodka.) She pours abour a third of a shot of crap vodka straight down the straw, so it'll be the first thing Mr. Backdoor Trots drinks. Manager: "He'll KNOW this one's for real." Best. Manager. EVER. Thanks for having me, I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories to share. Mood: chipper



	2005.11.25 17.37 Hello! Hello all, I've been a 'waiter' for two years now. I quote that, because I work onboard Amtrak trains. Until recently I was the 'lead' service attendant (basically I got stuck with being in charge and doing the paperwork :P) on train #21 in the dining car. I waited on tables, and usually took home $300 in tips while the regular servers got about $150 in tips (haha! and I waited on only 1/3 of the tables they did, too...this is a four day trip, too, mind you). Anyways, I consider myself a kick ass server. AND, I'm sick and tired of being away from home up to six days at a time. Right now though actually I switched to working in the lounge on train #27, so its a lot better (working by myself rocks). ANYWAYS...I live in NW Indiana. I was contemplating trying to get a job as a waitress or bartender. Getting a job as a waitress would be a lot easier than bartender (no actual bartending experience, unless you cound the lounge here on Amtrak. And its only a pseudo-bar haha...But I do love mixing drinks and learning all about it). Anyways...I'm used to making roughly $15 an hour. If you don't mind me asking this question...How much do you make in tips at a normal family restaurant (say, approximately like T.G.I. Fridays?). I'm sorry in advance if you don't like people asking this type of question, but I didn't read anywhere in the bio about not asking...hehe thanks in advance for any advice or input! Mood: silly



	2005.08.24 05.05 i haven't posted in here in probably 2 years. but something has been bothering me at work recently, and i just had to vent to other people who would understand. i'm a bartender in an english pub in a big city in the south. we do pretty decent business, and i'm certainly not hurting for money. there's a very large european community in this city, and a lot of those people don't know about tipping, and i've gotten very good about letting it slide, since it's a cultural thing and not so much a personal thing. some of the people (god love 'em), will actually ask about tipping policies in the states, and i'll gladly inform them. but, as i said, with most of the europeans that come in, i really don't expect much of a tip. which is why it's good that we also have a major american following. so, when an american comes in and doesn't tip, i get frustrated. they should know better, whether they work service or not. my boyfriend, for instance, is an aerospace engineer...never worked a day of service industry in his life. not only is he an amazing customer (we met at my bar), but he's also a phenomenal tipper. just because he knows better. people like him are what keep my rent paid. anyways, to the point of this whole entry...there's a guy that's been coming in lately who is american and a blockhead of epic proportions. the first night i met him, he asked me for a drink, and then asks me to lean in so he can whisper something to me. being the only female bartender at my pub, i'm used to taking the bulk of flirting from the customers, because, for whatever reason, everyone loves a female bartender. instead of flirting with me, though, he asked if i smoke pot. i said no, but that i know a bunch of people who do. and i looked him up and down and asked if he was a narc. he handed me a little plastic baggy of weed and told me he was wanting to get rid of it, and walked away. i just shook my head and handed it to my cousin, who was at the pub that night. at the end of the night, his tab was 11$, and he only tipped 1$. i let it slide, thinking that maybe he thought he was hooking me up, or whatever, with the pot. the next 5 times he came in, he acted like my best friend, flirted with me shamelessly, and always tipped about 5%. sometimes, he even left only 75 cents. even my regulars were getting pissed, seeing how he was dominating my time and not tipping me hardly at all. so, one night last week he came in and started a tab with me, as usual. i was less than polite, being as i had customers who were taking care of me waiting. he came back about 30 minutes after opening his tab to ask for a jack and coke. i poured him your basic jack and coke, and he had the nerve to ask me to pour more jack in the glass. "awww, c'mon, you can do better than that. let's have a bit more." "it'll cost you." acting hurt and play-pouting "how is that to treat a regular? you could hook me up, it'd be nice. if you're mean to me, i'll just leave here and go to sherlock's." slamming the glass down on the bartop "have fun at sherlock's." he looked like i had slapped him. but, as i said, i had other people waiting who would take care of me. so, he ignored me for a week and a half, which was nice. then, he came in tonight. same as usual, barely speaking to me, but by the time he was pretty tipsy, he was pretending like we were old pals again. he borrowed 5$ on his tab, which is later to be added into the tip, since we just take the 5$ out of our till. at the end of the night, he closed his tab, and guess what? he only added the borrowed 5$ into the tip line. that was a meager tab, yes, but at 22$ and no tip whatsoever? i was flat-out rude to him tonight, and i will be from now on. thankfully, i work in a job (now) that is not corporate or ass-kissing in any way. if i get in an altercation with a customer for any reason, any one of my 3 bosses will ask me about it and generally side with me. i'm a pretty level-headed person, and they know when i get pissy or give someone hell, it's usually for a reason. sorry about the long-ass ramble. it's 5a.m., i've just gotten home from work, and i'm tired. if this doesn't make any sense, i apologise in advance.



	2005.08.17 22.35 If you order a glass of wine, and tell me to "bring it with my dinner", chances are, I'm going to bring it with your dinner. Why is that so hard to understand? Why is it 9 out of 10 people look at me like I'm stupid and say, "I'd like my glass of wine," if I don't bring it right away, instead of with their dinner. If you want the glass of wine right away, don't tell me to bring it with dinner. Cause you aren't getting it right away that way. Oh, yeah, and don't ask me to bring a certain something because someone at your table "gets cranky if she doesn't have any of it" and then EAT ALL OF IT BEFORE THAT PERSON EVEN ARRIVES. How rude is that????



	2005.08.13 02.01 my work is lame... So my work is asking for everybody's new availability and to attach a copy of our class schedule to it, since school is starting. I'm almost certain that they don't have the right to have my school schedule. Where would I find info on this? I want to tell my boss to go to hell.



	2005.08.06 12.15 bah I have to get nonslip shoes for work. They won't let me wear my skater shoes anymore. The only requirement is that they have to be black. Where have you bought your work shoes? =p



	2005.08.04 12.16 servers unite yeah haha.. hey whats up.. 19 y/o live in seattle area washington.

Anyways.. I'm about to go apply at the keg and here at least they make you only work day shifts for your first 6 months.. i was wondering if anyone works at a keg.. or if there's another good resaurant anyone can recomnednd applying at... let's see there's a cheescake factory, applebees (no way in hell), olive garden... i dont know.. anyone with some help? cuz i cant continue at my outback cuz they just are so anti being nice to me.. and I really just wanna nail them with a law suit.. for anything!!!



	2005.08.03 19.46 Probably a long shot :) This is probably a long shot - but is anyone in here or used to live in Tampa? Any places you can recommend waitressing? I'm moving there in 5 months, and I used to waitress, and I definately want to get back into it when I move down there! Thanks! :) x-posted Mood: curious



	2005.07.11 15.06 hi! Hey, I'm new here but I do have a humorous dialouge from last week- Guest-I would like the Mesquite Chicken Salad without the peppers Me-Ok, but just so you know, the peppers come in a mix with the red onions, corn, and tomatos and we can not seperate them, so you will just be getting chicken, lettuce, cheese and dressing Guest-Oh I don't like tomatos anyway, that's fine ::First check back:: Guest-I thought that this salad came with red onions Of course I had the cooks chop her some red onion, but it is funny now. Of course at the time I felt like stabbing myself in the eye... Mood: amused



	2005.07.11 01.07 I'm a tattle tale This is for those of you who who dislike working with certain people at your restaurant. I talked to my manager about a guy that I work with today. Earlier, I had a 6 table section which is really hard at my restaurant. I ordered ceasar salads and they were taking awhile. #1 rule of working in a restaurant: don't talk to the kitchen guys while they are working. They don't speak English and it throws everything off. Even if you speak Spanish like I do, you're still not supposed to talk to them. So I go up to the expo (the guy who plates all the food and communicates with the kitchen staff, and you are able to ask him any questions on ticket times or for him to get certain sauces or sides of stuff). His name is Cameron. I tell him "I'm waiting on two ceasars." Any expo would go up to the salad chef and check on it for me. No ifs ands or buts. His response? "It's not my problem." Who's problem is it when I'm not supposed to talk to the kitchen staff? Then I say..."Um...yeah it is your problem, you're an expo." And I walked away. And then I leave it at that. But it really bugged me because he is such a complete asshole to work with. This isn't an isolated incident. He treats the kitchen staff like shit and other servers hate asking him for stuff. And I mean, it's his JOB to get us sides of salsa, to check ticket times, etc. So, I told a few other servers and after they told me similar stories, I decided to tell a manager. I've never complained about another co-worker, ever. I was closing the restaurant down and sat down with Adam, the nicest manager at BJ's. He was totally shocked and said he'd handle it. I'm proud of myself because I'm not one for conflict. I hate drama and fights and I would usually just let something like this go. But it's a big deal. I'm not gonna let somebody treat me like that. Funk dat. I get enough of that shit from customers, but the difference is, they tip me. So yeah, I am a tattle tale. I haven't told on someone since like, 5th grade, hehe.



	2005.05.30 14.04 Hey, new here. :] I don't quite get what a 'server' is, but I think I was one? I worked at New Zealand Natural for a year, which is like this ice cream / juice / smoothie place, and it doesn't sound long, but trust me. A year was way too long at that place. I ended up quitting because the assistant manager made me cry at work. The job itself was okay, and you got some of the nicest people ever coming in as well as all our regulars. This girl I worked with and I used to have tipping contests where we used to see who could get the highest tips. She won with four dollars. [It's really rare for people to tip in Australia..] But of course we had bitchy customers who think they can order you around like anything. On one of my nine hour shifts I had some ten year old girl drop her money down the front of the ice cream freezers once, which meant ten minutes of pulling the freezer out, finding her money, then pushing the freezer back in [and they're heavy as all fuck], then she gave me the wrong amount of money anyway, and then she complained that there was hair in her ice cream. Me: I don't see anything. Her: Well, there is. Me: I'm sorry, but I can't see it, so there's really nothing I can do about it. Her: I want a new ice cream. Me: Look, I'm going home in five minutes, so I don't care whether you want a new ice cream, or not. Okay? Her: .. I want to talk to the manager. Me: Fine. But I am not making a new ice cream. Which was a really bad way to handle the situation, but I was tired, sore, cranky, and I was quitting in a week, so I personally didn't care if she ever came back to the store anyway. I'm currently looking for a job as a waitress at a local restaurant, so .. who knows? :]



	2005.05.14 15.33 I don't know how y'alls computer systems are set up, but we just got a new one, and I've been having fun with the fact that I don't ever have to talk to the kitchen anymore because this system has an onscreen keyboard. Most places in the area use Digital Dining, I guess, but we just started up with Jonas, after kicking the old crappy system to the curb (only one other country club in the STATE uses the system we had--might that have been the FIRST clue that it sucked?) So, I had a lady last night want just a plain salad with some tomatoes, cucumbers, and oil and vinegar. Our "house" salad has brie cheese, raddishes, pine nuts, and lemon vinagrette on it (but don't call it a house salad in the kitchen...."We don't HAVE a house salad!!! What are you talking about? Oh, you mean the MIXED GREENS?" Yeah, yeah, psycho cheffie man, the mixed greens, whatever) So my order looked like so when it printed up in the kitchen: side salad (n/c) mixed greens hold brie, radd, and pine nuts w/ cucum, tom, and o+v I didn't realize how bad that last line looked until I had exited out of the keyboard and reread what I wrote....but I left it anyway, because I knew the kitchen would get a kick out of it. :) Mood: bouncy



	2005.04.14 16.43 Has anyone else reached that point in their serving careers that they are on Auto-pilot all the time? everything has become like second nature that you don't even remember doing it? like breathing. I sure have. It takes some thing really funny or special for me to remember the fact that I worked that day. I HAVE BECOME A BREADSTICK SLINGING ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mood: blank

	2005.03.26 13.22 Hello everyone My name is Scott and I just joined the community. My best friend's parents own a restaurant and I've worked there since I was 16. My friend and I have bitched, complained and been amazed at all the stupid people there are in this world and so many of the stories are just unbeliveable. I'm glad there are others out there who understand.



	2005.03.06 02.24 Tonight one of the customers in dining area told one of my fellow servers "I don't like minestrone because it reminds me of when I was a gynecologist!" O.O yup, he said that. We also amused ourselves tonight by making a list of DO NOTs. We ended the night with 23. :) And why do people get sooooooooo freaking upset if they can't have "their" table? Gee, sorry, sir, you can't have YOUR table that you carried here on YOUR BACK because it's YOUR TABLE. Those people sitting at YOUR TABLE? Yup, that's THIER TABLE, too. And you know what? They made their reservation first! Sorry, no soup for you! :)
