Glad to be here* (original) (raw)

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!
