Glad to be here* OMG!!! I am so glad I found this community! I just started this livejournal thing again and one of my main stresses is my job! So, I'm glad I'll be able to vent to people who understand what I'm saying. So, I've decided to list the biggest annoyances of working at a restaurant :1) When you say "I'll be right around with a refill for you, sir. Anybody need anything else?" then the "sir" proceeds to say "Nope, but I need a refill!". It's like, what the ____! Did I NOT just tell you I would be right back around with a refill for you? How about you listen next time and we wouldn't have this issue? 2) When you ask a table "Would anyone like any dessert tonight?" (because our boss makes us ask) and they actually want it. First of all, our meals are so large and come with so many sides, on top of the bread you get, I don't understand how ANYONE, even a 900 pd person, could eat dessert after finishing ALL their meal. Secondly, WE(the waitresses) have to make your freakin' dessert! When a table tells me that they want dessert, I get mean thoughts in my head *lol*3) When people feel it's necessary to have any more than 3 refills in one sitting. Or what's worse is when even before they're done ordering, they've finished off two already. I hate people like that. 4) Why do you (the customers) feel it's necessary to order a chicken tender meal w/ mash pot, hash browns, french fries, and an extra mash pot? But then only drink diet coke? That's crazy to me to eat all that starch, on top of the carbs from the bread, they get.5) When people complain about their DEEP-FRIED onion rings are greasy. I'm not even gonna comment about this one.6) When a table (that may not even be yours) HAS to shout "waitress, waitress" across the room and some go as far to snap their fingers. You people that do that can honestly f*** off. That one really irritates me.7) How big is ______? Well first of all, if the menu says, say for instance, a 16 oz. steak, then....I'm assuming it's about 16oz! 8) When someone asks "What are your soups?" and we have about 9 different soups. So to make a good impression you list them all off (even though if the morons had opened their eyes, it's right on the first page). Then, the man sitting RIGHT next to that person asks "What were those soups again?" THAT"S when I tell them "Well we do have them listed in the menu on the front page, right here" as I point it out to them in the menu. That is so annoying! I can't think of anymore right now. I know there is A LOT more though. If anyone has any other ones to add to the list....feel free!Current Mood:  rushed (1 Comment |Comment on this) |

Bad Tippers I find it very aggrivating when people don't understand what tipping is to a server. It's more than just a small treat for us, it's our pay. We don't make a lot on an hourly wage, we need it. At least I do where I work.However, the biggest problem I have with people that do not tip, is I actually LOSE money when it happens. If I sell 50infoodtoatableandtheydonottipme,whenIdomycashout,that′s50 in food to a table and they do not tip me, when I do my cash out, that's 50infoodtoatableandtheydonottipme,whenIdomycashout,that′s50 more dollars on that read that I have to tip-out on. Of that money I have made nothing, and given a percentage to the back-of-the-house and hosts. I've lost money while working. Explain that to me.So people who don't tip need to realize this.We have these regulars who come into the restaurant. It's generally a mother and daughter, and they are disgusting miserable people. The daughter is about 200 pounds and the mother is probably 1000. They try to lie about their ages so they can order off the kids menu, or try to make me give them kids portions. They lie about birthdays so they can scam us for free coupons. We can't just ID them or tell them no, or else they complain to head office...thats right, they go above the manager, so he doesn't ever take action anymore. They hound the servers at every possible moment for stupid shit. They know what things are free and refillable so they hound the servers for it as often as possible, but that part isn't that big a deal since we don't give them good service at all since they do not tip a single cent. The last time I served them, they had a bill of 28.91 and they gave me exactly that, to the penny. They didn't even let me have nine cents.Needless to say, I give them shitty service, making sure they don't even get to ask me for anything. Lately, I don't serve them, since I don't have bad sections these days, and tend to sit them in the worst seats possible. I don't know what goes through their heads, seriously. They are cheap miserable ugly ladies.There are a lot of these kinds of people who go out to eat. The sad thing is, it can be a racial trait. I am not racist, but it's an unfortunate truism that people from asian and indian decent are horrible tippers. I have yet to see an exception to this rule. Also, people who want to know everything about the specials, how big a meal is, what's free, how much things cost, "I'll just have a water!" etc. are going to be bad tippers.My paycheck after working almost every day for two weeks is a small one. My hourly wage is bonus bill money I make on top of my REAL pay, which are tips. 99.5% of everyone who comes into a restaurant knows that servers should be tipped, 75% of these people will tip you no matter what, 50% of these people tip according to how good the service actually is, 25% of the people understand exactly how important it is to us, 15% understand how difficult our job can be, and maybe 5% of them understand that my particular chain of restaurant is one of the hardest restaurants to serve at because of how many things are refillable, and how low bills can get when you take advantage of the day's specials. Finally, 1% know that my location is probably one of the most poorly managed restaurants in the area, making it that much more difficult when we run out of so much shit.I like the service industry a lot. Far more than I ever thought I would. Being someone who is generally kind of shy and really not all that charismatic, I'm pretty good at it. The real stress comes from WHERE I'm working. A good server in Toronto can make as much as a bad doctor and they probably do a small fraction of the work I do. Big pubs and restaurants generally have hosts, seaters, bussers, servers and food runners. The hosts at my place do all the seating and some of the bussing and table setting. The servers do most of their own bussing, all of the food running (which includes refillable salads/soups/drinks), full service, and we also seat tables when it gets really busy. Ten tables to a server in a well run restaurant isn't too bad. Ten tables to me is my death.Seriously, go get some fast food. Eating out is the most expensive way to eat, everyone can figure this out. Fast food, or cooking at home can save you a lot of money if you never went to another dine-in place again in your life, so seriously, stay out. (1 Comment |Comment on this) |

i'm new here, and hopeful that someone's experience will be able to lend me some advice. i'm a server in nyc, and my boyfriend is a production assistant on movies and commercials. his work is sporadic, at best, and he's looking for something surefire to fill in the gaps. i suggested cater-waitering. does anybody here know of any good catering companies to work for in new york city?

Advice for application/resumé wanted. I hosted for five months and served for an additional five at TGI Fridays. I am now applying to a restaurant that will doubtfully hire me right in as a server. They do have independent hosting positions. Should I put under "Position Desired":a.) Host (so I don't sound presumptuous with my lack of extensive experience)b.) Host/Server (to cover both bases, and show that I will compromise)c.) Server (hoping that they will give me a hosting job first, if not a serving one)Also, I definitely want to make it up to a server at a nice restaurant. I'm just concerned that my experience doesn't make me stand out. Any advice that anyone can give me that will make them say, "Hmmm...." when they see my application, meet me, and interview me?x-posted to  waitingtables (2 Comments |Comment on this) |

Looking for new serving job, need help. This fall I'm moving to Denver, and I'm looking for a job. I'm considering serving again, after a stint at the horrible company of TGI Fridays. (Or as I like to say, Sodom and Gomorra.)What would be better: starting off low, such as a host or even busser at a classier restaurant and gaining company experience with hopes to move up to a server; or getting a job at a less-refined, more chain-style restaurant (i.e. Applebees, Outback), where I would probably be serving faster?I had about five months of actual serving at Fridays, although I had hosted for about five months prior to that. So I do have some experience.I would be starting the job ASAP, and moving back to Michigan when college ends.I would really like to lean toward the classier end of restaurants. I'm considering the Kona Grill, mainly because it's so close to the Johnson and Wales campus. They have unique food, and I love the island flair of their menu. However, I don't feel I have the necessary experience at this point in time.Any advice as to my new job search?x-posted to waitingtablesCurrent Mood:  contemplative (Comment on this) |

After adding up a bill the other night, I realized that I had forgotten to put a coffee into the total ($1.49+tax). So, as I'm bringing the couple their bill, I tell them "I wrote the coffee on your bill, but accidentally forgot to add it into the total, so we'll just pretend that the coffee never happened, and you'll notice I've just crossed it out on the bill." They seemed relatively happy about it, and the woman said "Well, we'll pretend it did happen when we leave the tip."Fake laughter and painted-on smiles abound, I walked away quite satisfied that I had accomplished the very thing I had set out to do - take something off of their bill, and receive a larger tip.The total of their bill, before taxes (and not including the free coffee) was about 25,aftertip,somewherecloserto25, after tip, somewhere closer to 25,aftertip,somewherecloserto30. They left me a whopping $2.Yippee! Now, if that isn't incentive to keep giving away free stuff in the hopes of getting larger tips, I don't know what is. (Comment on this) |

so two latino kings walk into a diner right, one guy turns to the other guy and sais "NOOOOOOOOO!" i remembered after my first day back at clarkes why i quit, and at the same time why i had stayed for two years. after a week and a halfs worth of work i already have rent out of the way and a third of the debt ive accumulated over the course of a year and a half paid off. its nice to feel a little financial security but my peace of mind has already gone to shit. take sunday night for instance ( and then take into account that its taken me four days to get over it and document ):one of my regulars had just paid and left only to return a minute later with one of clark and belmont's resident sociopaths. he hands me seven dollars and asks that i let her get anything off the menu up to this amount. what a kind gesture and entirely unexpected at 3 in the morning, right!? she orders a cheeseburger, and i ring it through the way she wants. i bring it to the table and return a minute later to find the cheese from said burger in a fingerbowl drowning in a whirlpool of tabasco sauce stirred by her finger. i take into account that i like playing with my food too, and sit down at the host stand to work on some sight reading. two minutes later she walks up to me. "oh, is there something i can get for you!? " i ask, ( ...questionably )she looks, and winks at me for an extended period of time and sits back down. this isnt anything too unusual for this place so i head off to table 11 to check on the trannies who are comparing boob jobs. " ohh you got the same titties as me girl....i hear that when you get the operation you get less horny, that's why when i get mine, im getting my balls put inside of me ".....great!!!i sit back down to process everything i had just heard when hamburger lady starts heading twards the door...ive not seen her...ermnn, digestion progression so to speak, but knowing that shes only had her meal for a bit over five minutes theres no way she couldve finished it off already. i ask her if she'd "like a to go box."hl: "huh!?"me: "would you like a box for the rest of your cheeseburger?!"hl: *glares at me* *whispers* "this will be oooour little secret"she walks out the door. hello winner of the most random answer to a question ever. i go check by her table and apart from the cheese nothing on the plate had been touched....not one bite.two hours late she walks back in. hl: "can i have my char burger"me: "im sorry?"hl: "i didn't finish my burger yet, i want it!!"me: "im sorry... i had asked if you wanted a box for it and you said no so we tossed it a few hours ago"she leavesthis is where things really get fun.so these two guys, friends, get wasted outside the restaurant and one guy tries to stab the other guy with a knife. he easily misses as hes trashed but then turns to some of our customers. naturally there are no managers in the place this time of night...just myself, another waitress, and the hostess. i stand in between the guy and our customers and tell him to leave. hes making judo poses and screaming. his eyes are bulging out of his head and his neck looks like an unstable volcano, throbbing. he looks at me, screams and tries to kick me. i grab his leg lean into his chest and push him into the ground. pinning him the same way i did the guy this entry . hes flailing all over the place, but im pretty comfortable with how ive got him. the police are called three times but after fifteen minutes i have yet to see any relief. hes screaming and freaking out and im neurotic from the amount of hours ive already worked on top of whats going on. suddenly hamburger lady can be seen stampeding her way up the alley. shes holding on to the straps of her bag swinging it at people, yelling at them for "eating her burger." she hits the bus boys with it " YOU ATE MY BURGER DIDNT YOU "......shes walking up to me. ive just had a moment of clarity...realization....this is really happening. im sitting on top of some cracked out guy with a knife who screaming things out in spanish while a four hundred pound angry black schizophrenic is barreling her way at me swinging her purse. what the fuck have i gotten myself into. i look up at her..."please dont" is all i can mumble, and in a surprising turn of events, she doesn't. instead she looks at the guy ive got pinned at starts screaming at him "YOU ATE MY FUCKING BURGER DIDNT YOU!!!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"DID YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST EAT IT AND GET AWAY WITH IT?!!!!!"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!she makes up a name for him " WHYD YOU EAT MY BURGER JUAN!!!"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" DID YOU THINK I WAS SOME PINCHE MARICONA, JUAN!? "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!she lifts up her pant legs like shes gonna kick him and shouts a minute or two longer which seemed like hours before some other guys get her to leave. its been half an hour since the cops have been called ( multiple times ) and still nothing. the other server, amber ends up flagging a police car down eventually. which began another dishearteningly corrupt conversation that im just too tired to write out. they charged with him battery which will put him away for the night and handed me a court appearance which i was told to say "fuck it, and not show up to" as "the case is just gonna get thrown out anyways".the next day i found out that his friend ( the guy he tried to stab ) and he are "latino kings" and that that same friend came in that very next morning with a knife and a gun looking for myself and another server whe werent there..the cops were called but once again didn't respond. he came in again later that day with a gun, but noone was there and the cops did respond but said they couldn't do anything. i showed up to work that night to find all of this out. we went to the police station and they spoke to us like six year olds ( " if...he...comes...in...the...restaurant again...call...nine....one...one...." ) and said there was nothing they could do. of course not....i mean there only the fucking police, right!? i really thought about quitting right there, and i probably shouldve, but i really dont think i was meant to die just yet...im going to look for a job as soon as the muse concert ends the 13th of next month. ive got plenty more to talk about but ill save it for later.xXx!love from brandon Current Mood:  sick (4 Comments |Comment on this) |

I work as a waitress at a country club. Yesterday - July 4th - was our biggest day of the year: we throw a huge all-day barbecue, games for kids, pool is open, etc. All of the festivities are outside, so the staff get to wear shorts and a club-issued polo shirt.I am very fair-skinned and do not tan at all. When I wear shorts, as I had to yesterday, my legs appear very, very white.For some reason, people felt the need to point that out to me again and again, all day. The first few times are funny, the next few times are slightly grating, after that, it's downright annoying. Why do people think it's ok to comment on an aspect of my physical appearance that I cannot change? I think it's downright rude. I don't comment on someone's botched Botox injection, or a bad facelift, or question when a member of the club goes through the buffet line twice. Why? It's their business, not mine. I spend all day busting my ass in the hot sun, running after your children, feeding you and getting your drinks from the bar so you don't have to walk, and you harass me about my skin tone?I just want to know where this impulse comes from, and why customers feel they can say whatever they want to you, no matter how personal it is.

| _2:55 pm_[bea_sweet2me] | fuckinggggreatful.... Glad to have found this community. Not only does serving suck to suckkyyy people. Who works with jerky cooks? The cooks in the kitchen have decided to be complete jerkoffs to me lately. They have nicknamed me "gorda fea" along with "abuelita". Of couse they get paid a higher wage per hour so if they screw up the order it doesn't really matter to them if I get tipped 2$ on a 30$ ticket THEY messed up with. They laugh when I drop stuff and when I trip or fall in the kitchen. This really irritates.Must learn how to take with grain of salt. Maybe. Or become creative in kitchen slander. And to top it off.... after the verbal abuse the buser always asks me if I want to "voy al cine con migo." Get a clue, after that? I am getting over the way the cooks and some of the other servers treat me.Yesterday's conversation with an unnamed waiter:UW: I am going to get breast implants.Me: oh yeah? Why UW: (looks me up and down) MAYBE I'll get better tips.Me: Do you want mine (thinks: Maybe if you were a better waiter....)This can be a bit funny, but other then that is a little annoying. Thanks for lettin me vent . Good tip vibes to you all! (2 Comments |Comment on this) |

I have your money, and there is nothing you can do about it! I found a creative way to get better tips. Instead of writing thank you on my checks, I have been writing insightful quotes, such as carpe diem on my checks. Its funny because when you write those kinds of things on people's checks, it gets them thinking, and they are like "wow, our waitress has really made me see that I have not lived my life to the fullest" and other nonsense bullshit things that psudo intelligent commack people think.. And I just have dollar signs in my eyes.. Che ching suckers.. I have your money now and there is nothing you can do about it!. (Comment on this) |

gratuity hello, I am Mo from long island and I am a disgruntled waitress at Ruby Tuesdays. I am also an alcoholic (JK) (So this looked like the perfect community for me!)Yes, so today was long, and I got my ass kicked.. And just before I was cut I was sat with Archie Bunker and friends.. Ooh.. Just the table I'd want to take.. Especially as my last table of the night. It was an eight top, and so I added gratuity, and as you probably guessed they got mad at me about it. People tend to think that they should be insulted if their waiter adds gratuity onto the bill, but they shouldn't feel that way. It is just our safety, to ensure us that if we are investing the time to take a party this big, we will be guaranteed to get paid. I put gratuity on every bill every time. Over the years I have learned that you can't trust anybody in this business, and your best bet is just to play it safe. (3 Comments |Comment on this) |

Hi..... I love this site.. Thanks Brandon. We, the servers and other waitstaff of the world, needed this. A place to rant and rave, lol.Oh and I've had this idea for awhile now...Wouldn't it be funny if servers like us could get together, and start a show called something like "World's Stupidest and Rudest Customers!!!!" and like we'd get these little secret hidden cameras built in either the frame of a pair of glasses (fake or real, whichever) or your server nametag or whatever, everyone knows how small cameras can get these days, and do like a candid camera type show? The best part of course would be letting the dumbshit jerk people know at the end of their meal that they were selected and secretly taped for a tv show, and would they sign this liability release form please? The form would say the name of the show right across the top in big hug block letters! Heh heh heh... imagine their shock and suprise to to anger as they scramble to regather their wounded egos and refuse and run out the door... then we'd air that part too!!! *cackles at her own genius, wondering if perhaps she is the only seeing humor in this..* I love this idea. Course for legal reasons, the tapes would have to be heavily edited so that the restaurant names and logos could be blurred ect. But hey, all good. It'd sure teach people to be nice cause they might be on tv one day being a jackhole! *wanders away laughing again....* Current Mood:  awake (3 Comments |Comment on this) |

| _5:46 pm_[genius_waitress] | headline: atkins causes neurosis i work at a pancake restaurant that is widely known as a pancake restaurant. we also serve various fried sandwiches and quesadillas.next time i hear:do you have anything that's "low-carb?"i'm on the atkins diet, what can i eat?could i get a double bacon cheeseburger and fries without the fries and without the bread? with bacon. (translation: i want bacon beef and melted cheese plopped in the middle of a dinner plate for which i will pay seven dollars)i am going to say:eat whatever the FUCK you want.i hear that a side effect of atkins is that you may get really bad breath. has this been true in your experience?did you know that eliminating carbohydrates from the diet causes fatigue and neurological malfunctioning?IT'S THE BASE OF THE (admittedly fucked-up) FOOD PYRAMID, YA MORONS.

| _1:08 am_[saucy_21] | Wow, I don't have it as bad as some servers. It's rare that I get a person who is unbelievably rude, however I stand up for myself. Here's a little intro story...During the winter the restaurant I work at puts out coupons, buy one meal get second free (up to 9.95) our menu is reasonably cheap and kid friendly so we tend to attract cheap people in the first place. The coupon just brings the worst out in people, makes them even cheaper. Anyways, the coupon clearly states that it's one per table. I get a table of six, who had 3 coupons they'd like to use. I politely tell them that unfortunately it's a strict one coupon per table policy. WELL! Then they would like to move to 3 small tables that they can move together then. I'm sorry, read your coupon, it clearly states on there what the deal is, you think your special? not. I'm sorry now that I know your trying to use a coupon for a free meal, I've lost all respect for you anyways, because of past guests. The man at this one table tells me that I just lost my tip and that I'd be lucky if they didn't walk out on their bill (before I even took their order since they were taking FOREVER while my party of 20 got sat) I just decided to say excuse me for one minute, went to my manager and refused service because they were threatening my livelyhood by stiffing me with the bill. So I asked a bitchy server to take over the table. Have fun with that cheapos! Or the best, you comp a meal, their bill is 12.70 and they leave you .30 cents! Your welcome for your free meal cheapos thanks for coming out! (Comment on this) |

why is it that when you're carrying a buss bucket full of twenty pounds of dishes or so, that people decide to ask you for something.i mean, it's not as if you hadn't helped them at all through out the evening, nor is it that there aren't two other buss kids or three other waitresses in real close proximity. they just need the closest person around to ask for a drink that we don't even serve. if we served it, it would be on the menue. GAH. i hate my job. (Comment on this) |

hey you guys are fucking rockstars for sticking around....ive been so caught up in music and work i havent been able to check up on this let alone document anything ( mind you im *still* bitter ). i half expected to see the community etirely baron and it isnt....furthermore i will revamp this thing and whore it appropriately in the near future. for the time being, and to keep relevant heres how you can deal with your lackluster serving position.i had anticipated thursdays lunch being slow so i decided to make the best out of it by typing in the word "anus" in some form on my food orders so when it printed up to the kitchen theyld see something like:spinach saladadd anusi was cracking up watching all the cooks who dont speak any english walk up one by one to the chef asking him wot anus was......france owes me a fat fucking tip...3 easy payments of 19.99 will due just fine.xXx!love from brandon Current Mood:  drained (2 Comments |Comment on this) |

| _5:36 pm_[genius_waitress] | this is my first post here and i hope this community doesn't become infrequently frequented like every serving-related site seems to. come on, there's really so much more to complain about.there is one type i encounter again and again that i can't stand. they only want to know your name so that they can shout it across the dining room when their cup's empty, and their gratification is earned by seeing you drop what you're doing and hustle on over all chipper-like. my diner gets phone orders from people who like to call in ahead of time so the food'll be ready when they get there, so they don't have to wait. mr. business man whose mother never taught him how to say please and thank you walked off with the wrong credit card slip today (the one with my tip on it.) sometimes i think they do these things on purpose. but the best was the gerry (geriatric customer) who told me that i have a nice wiggle when i walk. mister, you'll wiggle too when i've got you pinned down to that wooden table top with a handful of rusty steak knives.other than whoring eggs and bending over for money, i paint and study art history in minneapolis. cheers.

...I think people come out and give servers a hard time on purpose.Saturday night we were busy, of course. I was in a good mood, mostly because almost all of my tables were tipping me ten dollars or more. Then I got sat a party of six college students. They were such assholes.Why is it that younger people have to drink like they are fucking camels? There is no need for so many refills on diet soda. What's the point in getting diet if you drink so much of it? Anyway...At the time, I had two other parties of six, a party of four, and a party of two. So, I couldn't be there every single second that one of them needed another goddamned refill. Of course they stayed FOREVER, and were completely rude to me. I dropped off the check, they paid with a credit card. When they left, I saw one of them had wrote, "Service was slow and disappointing. Food was great."I was upset about it. To the point where I wanted to cry. I've never had anyone say something like that about my service. It's always been good comments. On top of the bad comment, they left me seven on a hundred dollar check.I got over it when I found out I had made almost two hundred dollars that night, though. Fuck them.
