Waiting In Vegas

Giggles

27 May 2011

A party of four guys in their early twenties were seated in my section tonight. I offered them some drinks and when I told them the price of our sodas, all but one requested water. I overheard them loudly talking about how outrageous our prices are. One guy in particular, Giggles, was deeply, deeply amused [...]

I know I write a lot about how rude and cheap and annoying people are so I’m going to veer off topic and tell you a story that contains a lot of cheer and bliss. Don’t get me wrong: the person in the story is still a cheap, piece of shit loser, who needs to [...]

I Hate December

December is the WORST work month of the year. If you work in the industry and you plan on eating food or using electricity during the month of December, you have to use your savings to pay for such lavish things. December is the month of the cowboys. Hundreds of thousands of men in nut-hugging [...]

Table 57

After I approached the young couple seated at table 57, the woman began by ordered a Sprite. I delivered her drink and took the couple’s food order – a grilled chicken sandwich to share and an order of fries. Once they discussed (with me standing there) exactly how expensive the food was, they decided they [...]

A Canadian couple in their 40s dined with us this evening. Their bill came to $42. They paid with a $100 bill. The change was broken down as such: 1- $20 bill 3 – $10 bills 1 – $5 bill 3 – $1 bills When I presented them with their change, I counted it back [...]

Fight Nights Are The Worst

29 May 2010

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 tiaras fighting over a [...]

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 rude [...]

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, [...]

More Than You Make In A Week

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. [...]

Enjoy Your Diabetes

A really obese couple came in and hobbled to my station. The woman (in her 40s) ordered a shirley temple (sprite with grenadine). Within 2 minutes she downed her entire drink and began making slurping noises with her straw before waving her glass in the air. I brought her a refill and she continued drinking [...]
