Fight nights are the worst. The worst clientele flock to Vegas to watch two grown men beat each other up over a million dollar purse. I simply don’t get it. The only fight that I am really interested in witnessing would be between two gay men in feather boas, tights, and [...]

Fake Flirting
May 14th, 2010

Tonight I waited on four guys who were in their early twenties. They were polite enough. They weren’t demanding or obnoxious and they each said please and thank you. They also flirted a bit.
I should tell you first that I am horrible at fake flirting. I am not one of those servers [...]

Tonight started off slowly. One person called out and wasn’t replaced. Another person left pretty early. We didn’t get busy until 10 p.m. or so. 30 minutes later all of the computers went down. The problem was with the network itself. We could technically ring new tickets in and [...]

Few people love passive aggressive notes left by restaurant diners more than me. Most of the time I don’t even mind the fact that the note is left in lieu of a tip because I am so utterly amused by it. Sure, it’s nice to hear things like “you’re pretty” or “the service [...]

Restaurants Are A Perfect Place For This

Sometimes I think that people only dine out for the sake of having something to complain about. I’m not saying that where I work screws up so much they have no choice but to complain. What I am saying is that some people are just constantly on the lookout for an opportunity to be [...]

Two drunk men stumble to the hostess stand. They are using each other for support. The hostess seats them in my station (of course). I give them a couple of minutes to get situated before greeting them and filling their water glasses. They both have one of those giant douche souvenir cups from some place [...]

Tonight was one of those nights where if anything could go wrong it did in fact go wrong. The night started out simple enough. Sure, there was a line but tables were being sat at a manageable pace and the kitchen was sending food out pretty quickly. Then, five of my tables leave at once, [...]

A drunk man walked up to me this evening and insisted that someone had either put or lost a fingernail in his beer. He demanded to speak to the manager immediately and fill out an incident report with security. I knew he was crazy because how could someone lose a fucking fingernail? Also, no one [...]

Tonight, as I was standing at the hostess stand, an elderly man dressed in a 70’s leisure suit walks up. He asked me where he could “find a good steak.” I gave him directions to the nearest steakhouse.
Old Man: I already looked at that menu – they want $75 fucking dollars for a meal.
Me: For [...]

A party of six annoying drunk asian-americans came in tonight. They insisted they were ready to order immediately but made me stand at their table for 10 minutes while they figured out what they wanted. One girl was especially high maintenance, demanding, and rude. Her order contained 5 different special instructions and [...]
