Waiting In Vegas

A couple came in and ordered a sandwich to share.  When the server offered to cut it in half the man replied “That would be rocktacular.”  I honestly thought I had heard every douchey thing you could put the word “rock” in but apparently I hadn’t.

Anyone who has waited tables for a number of years has probably witnessed an advancement in the computer systems used within the industry.  Years ago, before computers, all servers wrote orders by hand and walked them into the kitchen.  Now most places use a computer system that stores the tickets in a database and sends [...]

If you’ve ever eaten in a casino restaurant that happens to be adjacent to a night club or bar then you have probably experienced the “competing noises conundrum.”  This happens when two establishments, who are close in proximity, both play their music as loud as humanly possible in an effort to drown the other out.

Whenever the rodeo is in town every casino is flooded with men of all ages wearing nut hugging jeans so tight that you can see the outline of their junk. Their ensemble also includes cowboy hats of all shapes, colors, and sizes – excluding the straw kid cowboy hats they sell at the $.99 store. [...]

An older couple came in, each ordering an extra well done burger and fries.  They were extremely pleasant and asked for advice on sights, shows, and dining.  Since it was pretty slow I chatted with them until their food came.  Then I brought them vinegar and mayo for their fries.  Even though I knew they [...]

Three Indian men from England came in to eat this evening.  They were all pretty drunk.  Each of them requested separate checks – two of them paid with credit cards and the third handed me cash on his way out.  Apparently, the man who paid in cash looked at the subtotal ($25) and handed me [...]

An old bitchy couple came in this evening to split a turkey burger.  When the man ordered it he said “Please make sure it doesn’t have a bunch of char on it.  Last time it had so much char on it that I thought about sending it back.  If it has a bunch of char [...]

A party of six rowdy & drunk Canadians came in to eat this evening.  Most of them had special instructions for their food – including one man who ordered a burger with “no tomato.”  When their food arrived I was standing nearby talking with another table.  The man who ordered his burger with no tomato [...]
