I Just Wanted A Decent Job

Six yuppy trust fund kids came in to eat tonight – all guys in their early twenties.  A long time friend of mine waited on them.  All of them were respectful and polite except for the last douche bag who had a loud mouth and David Schwimmer hair.
As my friend went to refill the douche bag’s drink, [...]

Why Not?

While I was rolling silverware tonight another server came up to me and we had the following short conversation.
Her: I hate when you ask a table how they are and everyone just ignores you.
Me: I just don’t ask them how they are.
She: Why not?
Me: I wouldn’t want them to mistakingly think I give a fuck [...]

Low Class Wine Snob

Let me start off by saying that our wine glasses are small and unstemmed. This is because we do not offer a large selection of wines – we just have a few types of what most would consider table wine.  The wine doesn’t come from a box or anything it just isn’t high end and [...]

That Woman Is A Fucking Bitch

Tonight a bitchy whore was complaining that she meant to order cheese on her burger before it arrived but didn’t. The manager offered to either bring her some cheese or take the burger back to the kitchen to have cheese melted on it (a completely appropriate solution). This did not please the bitchy whore woman- [...]

While I was walking by a table I overheard an extremely gay guy telling Jihad that there were a few water spots on his glass. When Jihad walked away to get a polished glass he mumbled to himself “Oh… [...]

An Earlier Conversation

Token: Why is my name “Token”?
Me: Um, because you are the one token black person that works here.
Token: No, there are other black people that work here…
Me: I mean the only server. Kitchen staff and food runners don’t count.
Token: …….
Me: So… why aren’t there more [...]

Waiting Tables Isn’t For Everyone

If you have ever thought about waiting tables and just aren’t sure if you can pull it off then let me just say that waiting tables isn’t for everyone. In fact, I have worked with some extremely shitty servers. If you can do 15 things at once, have lots of patience, and don’t mind working [...]

Sleepyhead Wakes Up

This evening a single guy came in and ate at the bar. Shortly after arriving I guess sleepyhead was tired because he fell into a deep sleep. When the bartender alerted me, I had no choice but to intervene by kicking sleepyhead’s chair as I walked by. I kicked it with a lot of force [...]
