I realise that tea drinkers are the bane of a server's life, so I don't do it often, but some of us really can't have caffeine - either doctor's orders or it makes us jittery. And if it's a cold night a cup of tea while others have their coffee warms us up. And I always tip more than 15% and hate it when I see people getting out the calculator to figure out exactly 15%. I just take ten percent of the total and then double it. Easiest way to tip.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399098868122212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1129174742643178882005-10-12T22:39:00.000-05:002005-10-12T22:39:00.000-05:00I once took over a restaurant, and I couldn't get ...I once took over a restaurant, and I couldn't get it through this polish lady's head that NO, she could NOT have a party for free and NOT pay for the banquet room, and NO she couldn't bring in all her food for her party and not purchase any from the restaurant as we don't work or operate as a charity case, and NO she could not bring her own booze. sheesh<BR/>doreenT40 at bigredy<BR/>(how many does it take with that lightbulb thingy???)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1126560171129527982005-09-12T16:22:00.000-05:002005-09-12T16:22:00.000-05:00Ya hey I remember you...I put visine in your coffe...Ya hey I remember you...<BR/><BR/>I put visine in your coffee I think, hope your ass felt good the next day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1126559923960232862005-09-12T16:18:00.000-05:002005-09-12T16:18:00.000-05:00Ya, you're like school in summertime...No classYa, you're like school in summertime...<BR/><BR/>No classAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1126538181737228122005-09-12T10:16:00.000-05:002005-09-12T10:16:00.000-05:00you must have been the overly femme server we had ...you must have been the overly femme server we had the other day.

It goes from "yes" to "yeah" to "ya" (sounds like "yah"). All the same.<BR/><BR/>It can also be used in place of "you." In this case, it's pronounced "yuh." Hope this clears things up.

I charge them for hot tea. <BR/><BR/>By law, the only thing you are allowed to bring into a place like a restaurant is bottled water. Anything else that comes out of a purse or handbag is getting rung up.

I've never worked in the industry, but can understand common curtesy, and the fact that it is a business, meant to pay the bills of all the employees. Doing something as low-class as that is just unbelievable, as well as being against health department codes I'm sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1126163284101271662005-09-08T02:08:00.000-05:002005-09-08T02:08:00.000-05:00Dude, I'm actually jealous of your rants.

Makes for a good read and a good laugh. Being a server at a chainer for over a year now and desparately looking for a way out, I eagerly anticipate the movie "Waiting" which is also suppose to hit upon several of the situations we are put in through our job. And your writing is very efficient. Maybe writing can be your way out. But then you wouldn't have all this material! Peace out homey.S. K.
