So I'm a waitress...and people are fucking stupid, I don't think anyone really knows that on average waitresses/waiters make 2.50 an hour and that 2 dollar tip you leave when you're the only table in the restaurant is pretty shitty.

For those of you who don't know, the new percentage for tipping is 15% fuckers.

Alright, so I guess I'll actually explain why I'm in this frantic....

I work in a Chinese restaurant and the owner/cook doesn't speak that much English, as if it weren't bad enough, it was packed, and he doesn't know to stick to one fucking ticket, he does one dish from each ticket, then the tables of course blame the people who are serving them. IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THE FOOD DOESN'T COME OUT WHEN IT SHOULD! (about 99% of the time.) I'm the only one who fluently speaks English there so the people constantly complain that the other Chinese waiter screwed up. Alright, so here goes...


Today was general conference (I live in Utah...) and after it ended at 8, which is the time I normally leave, we get a huge wave of men in suits! I get two big tables, one of 6, one of 5 and some other tables that were 2-4 people. The guy I work with (the other Chinese guy) gets all pissed off because I took the two big tables, and I'm like "You didn't get to them fast enough, they were waiting and looking around for someone to take their order." So he was pissed, so I let him have the next two tables, and then the lady's like, "b2 is has been ready for awhile." and I thought that was his table but I took it cause he was going around with a water pitcher. So I go over and take their order. So he bitches to me about that and I'm like "They had been waiting!"

So the main reason I'm pissed off is that as I said before the cook doesn't stick to one ticket and switches back and forth so I get all the food out at different times (this is when it's really busy), which I shouldn't but I would prefer them to get it while it's hot instead of waiting for the rest of the order and letting it get cold. So I explain to the table of 6 the situation and apologized... I even gave them extra egg rolls and fried shrimp a good 8$ value. They left me a 7.00 tip on a 70$ bill. Not to mention a huge ass mess of spilled things.

But the other table of 5 thought I was an idiot or something, every time I went to the table they would ask for chopsticks and so I was going to bring them out with the meal. And it's not like I was BUSY or anything, ya know, with the 5 tables. And I walk buy one time and they said "Can we have our diet Pepsi's Now?" and gave me that look...(hello....there are about 10 tables in the restaurant.)

Another pet peeve as a server is, I'll get the food out and ask "Can I get you any sauces, some hot mustard, sweet and sour sauce, cocktail sauce?" and they reply "uh, yeah, just the sweet and sour sauce." So I smile and say "OK" and go get it, when I bring it back they say, "Oh yeah, can I get some hot mustard too?" so I smile again and go get it, I bring it to the table and they say "Can I have a small bowl of steamed rice?" It's fucking aggravating.... they make you make 4 trips to the kitchen until their happy, meanwhile the restaurant is stuffed with people and I have another 5 tables to wait on.

I'm not saying to not ask for something that you need, just don't make your server go back 3 and 4 times when they can get it all in one trip.

Basically, I'm saying be nice to your servers, if you haven't served before, it can be frustrating and hard, make sure you're patient with them as they are to you. Don't forget we bring out your food. That's not a threat from me but I've heard people tell me what they've done when people were assholes the whole time. (Be careful)

And not everyone one is mean, a lot of the people are awesome and fun to talk to but for the one's that aren't this is for you....
So please just tip well and be patient if it's busy.

(If the server is a jerk the whole time...you know. Just tip on how good the service was, not just the food, they didn't make it and you're the one who chose to get it.)

Watching: Rent

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i
i bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say

except fuck you...

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you...

I kinda find it pointless to have an online journal...I thought journals were supposed to be personal...all well, I think it's just me, i'm fucked up. Don't you just hate it when people say stuff like that, saying how much they suck or whatever...it annoys the hell out of me. So i'll just talk about what I have on my monitor- Mini gummy-bears, gummy aligator(can't spell), Gummy penguin, gummy bears, gummy hippo, gummy bird, cat stickers, dancing cats, a seal, and something with a beak that was kinda cute so I got it...Oh, and a random dove, and a flashing ring...that's it. I'll go to bed now!!!

My angel is dying, he may be "just a cat" to over half the people who read this, but he's my baby. Ive raised him, includeing bottle feeding and getting up 3 times a night with him. He's like my son, my baby and he cant be replaced by another cat! He's haveing a hard time breathing and is slowley dying. Alot of people who read this will also not care. I wish I could save my angel and my love. Theres nothing I can do, soon i'll be putting him to sleep. I hate money....if I had 600 dollars I would spend it to try to save his life though, he's worth everything.

I dont understand....... ]]> ~Tearsfalling http://Tearsfalling.deviantart.com/journal/4157761/ http://Tearsfalling.deviantart.com/journal/4157761/ Sat, 25 Dec 2004 21:04:29 PST

Since I have this opportunity to write right now, I want everyone to know how much I love them and appreciate them, my friend Kirsten who has allways been here for me, Nichole who is such a cutie and I love her tons, and Alisa who is great to be with. Tara who I also love altough it seems that we have been unable to hang out. There are so many I could name. Holidays just really remind me of how much I love and care about people. My parents, who no matter what do their best and keep trying to get things done, my mother has such a good heart and wont give up no matter how many times we've been skrewed over, and all my sisters who I love even though I can be a.....mean person to sometimes. Well, my minds now going blank.....I dont think I really have much else to say besides the fact that I love you all and you are all great!
