Title: So exhausted...missed you all!
Post by Mrs Deej on Jul 31st, 2006, 2:29am
Heeelllllooooo everyone!   [smiley=wave.gif]

So in the past 48 hours I have worked 27!!  My brain is moosh, my muscles ache, feet are swollen, and my knee is on fire!!!  (For those that don't know, I work at Applebee's as a bartender)

I don't think people quite understand the hours (and running their asses off) that waiters/waitresses, hosts, cooks and bartenders put in to make your dining experience great...now you know.  (not that you didn't appreciate it already   ;)...)  But I have to vent, I had some of the rudest people come into my restaurant this weekend.  I wanted to say..."are you always this pissed off or is this just the way you are?" STFU!!!

I absolutely love what i do...but I miss my husband when I'm away so long.   :'(

The next time you are out at a restaurant enjoying your meal, think about how many hours your waiter/waitress has put in for the day, if not the week.  (AND working for $2.13 an hour!!!)

I love you all and missed talkin with you this weekend.

Hope you have a FABULOUS week...talk to you soon!

Love and Support...

Steph.....  [smiley=sleep.gif]

It really peeves me when people treat those in service industries badly, I love the stories of waiter/waitress revenges, they really amuse me!
Personally, I've always used how boyfriends treat waitresses, barmaids etc as a guide to whether I want to be with them or not.. and whether there will be another date or not!
Those are hellishly long hours Steph, time for some R&R for you now  [smiley=hug.gif]
lots of love

One of the things I've learned, now that I'm firmly entrenched in middle age, is to NEVER take out your problems on bartenders / waiters / waitresses. You think YOU had a bad day? Think what it must be like schleppin' food and drinks for some a$$hole who thinks it's cool to use you as a verbal punching bag.

And I ALWAYS show my appreciation by leaving a good tip when the service is good. 25-30%. It's only right, especially when you consider what they are making as an hourly wage.

I do the very same. Nobody deserves to be treated badly. (My boyfriend is one of those people who will compliment the staff when food is great etc.)

Steph, I hope that the next time you go to work your customers will be wonderful ones! :)

Best wishes,
Sanna

My mom works at Albertsons and then waits tables at Steaks and Cakes, I grew up surviving off tips. I always tip. I know how hard you guys work.

long hours  :(    Hope you get some well-deserved rest.

My daughter is working a part-time job as a barista and the coffee crowd is one of those "doublemochalattehalfcalfchocolatewhippedcreamsteamed" crowd...  tip?   nope!   Makes me sad for her!
