Just a Note to Say...

I DO see you there and I WILL come take your order when I'm damn ready. Sit your butt down in a booth and STAY there. Quit coming up to the counter to find me when I've been gone for two minutes.

And you other people, fuck you very much for that $2.00 tip on a $37.00 bill and your $4.00 on a $63.00 bill. People like you make me want murder things with celery stalks.

Equal Rights For Water

One thing I've noticed that really bugs me recently is somebody saying 'I'll JUST have water'.

In my mind it's STILL a drink. I STILL have to fill a glass with ice and I STILL have to press a button on the soda fountain and I STILL have to bring you a straw. So water is no less work for me; if anything it's MORE because we use different glasses for water than we do for soda and the water glasses are almost always spotted and gross-looking, so you have to paw through the rack to find a clean one and blahblahblah.

Please. It's not JUST water. It's still a drink.

So, Funny Story...

Hmmm. A corporate bigwig was in today talking with both AMs and one of the other servers. I 'just happened' to be cleaning a table in the area and heard a bit of their conversation. Something about the GM stealing alcohol from this server? Who, as I might or might not have mentioned, is a 17 year old that gets more hours than any other server. She lives on daddy's money and has a car payment for bills, and that's it. Pisses me off to no end.

Anyway there may be some interesting changes coming in Water with Lemon world soon. Stay tuned!

Oh, and I also pawned off a super-bitch table today. It was great. I have to be up at 6 for my next shift (after getting home at 11) so super short post tonight, but if I get reminded I may tell about the super-bitch table and my last super-irritating table. Fun times, fun times.

If you can't fit into the booths you should not be eating in the first place, much less demanding a table and more of everything you touch.

Piercings Must Work!

Today I overslept and got to work late for the first time in weeks. The GM took me aside and asked why I was late, and of course I told him the truth. He said, "This is the last time, you were late yesterday too." I just blinked. I haven't been late since I moved into my new apartment! I didn't argue with him, but I checked my time slip when I logged out for a break, and sure enough the day before I had logged in at 3:49 for my 4:00 shift. That made me SUPER pissed, and I was already in a bad mood from lack of sleep and my sciatic nerve being very painful.

The rest of the night went ok after the GM left. One of my coworkers noticed I wasn't moving very fast and asked what was wrong, so I told her about how my back burns. If you've ever had sciatica issues you know what it's like: the burning running down your leg if you bend or twist the wrong way, how it takes about three minutes to straighten up fully after sitting down. In any case she mentioned it to the manager and I got cut from the floor about a half hour early. Not much, but it got me out of work and to my pain pills sooner.

All in all not a bad day. Tip percentages have been well over 20% yesterday and today, and I think I may have discovered a secret. If you're lonely, get a labret piercing. In the past week since I had it done a few different guys have started hitting on me, and tonight I got my first phone number ever! I think it was because I forgot to take out the metal piece I had; I usually trade it for a clear retainer, but again I overslept so I kind of forgot. Who knows.

Sucks for them though because I <3 girls.
