The Like/Hate Thread

[Josh]

I so feel you there.

So I picked up at work tonight, really needed the money. Yep, Saturday, busy as shit. Every table I had was a set of ghetto entitled people (one lady was so fat that her arms were LITERALLY as big as my waist. She stiffed me, and stiffed the bartender, and stiffed the sushi bar when she bought more food there, and is known to complain if everything is not completely perfect) or in a few cases teenagers that were really nice and awesome the entire time - until they paid with exact change and left.

8 tables, all with at least 10 people on each of them tonight. I tend to expect at least 100 on Saturdays. Yep. 40 dollar night. So worth picking up. Could have made more if I was minimum wage at the McDonald's that half these people coming in ordering lobster work at. 40 dollars, at least 80 people, so I averaged 50 cents a person tonight. I even had a really nice guy on my final table get a bill of 100.09 and he paid with his card, then when I picked up the slip (turned upside down to hide what was written) it had the nice big "ZERO" written on it, and this is after he stopped me on his way out to compliment my service "You da best waiter we had man, we gon request you next time". Thanks, asshole. That stiff on a 100? That equals me LOSING 8 dollars from what I'd already made. This doesn't take into account the 4 on 66 from another really bitchy birthday girl who kept arguing the price of everything, and some extremely rude couple at the end that left me zero on a 48 (paid with 50, took their change). Screw Saturday night people that have to eat there and "get their drank" before "hittin' da clubs".



TLDR - I complain about ghetto black people, redneck white people, bitchy fat people, ignorant college freshman aged kids, and other people that like to go eat food they can't afford and then not tip the server, not caring that the server then has to cover the missing tip for the chefs from their own pockets.

I know this is a job centric rant at the moment, and I apologize about that. I'm just now coming off a frustrating night and this was all endured under the flag of trying to make the rest of the way life is going a bit smoother when all it ended up doing was frustrating me. Lots of things are just going badly at the moment and we're just kinda handling it case by case.
