I do, I do, I do!!
Ok, maybe not really, but I DO think the Almighty Karma of the Restaurant Gods MUST exist. I hate the idea of karma generally but there's just something about waitressing that convinces me that the gods of the restaurant industry are watching our asses. How else do you explain the past few nights?
Business has been abysmally slow, so bad in fact that I'm severely in debt and in danger of being evicted. Some of this is due to poor budgeting but it also has something to do with the general lack of business coming in. However...
When you get a $2 on a $28...
Then a $3 on a $30 takeout order...
And a $0 on a $37...
And finally a $10 on a $10...
What else can one think but that Somebody Somewhere is covering your poor ass?
Some people are just amazingly generous. I am so thankful for them, and I hope wherever you work there are enough incredible people to balance the douchenozzle asshats that think if we don't like not making money we should find another job.
Fuckwads.
Also, there are lots and lots of new hires. Most of them seem ok so far. The dishwasher tonight was amazing. He's an older guy, but he kept our bus buckets empty and would help out whenever we needed. So far, so good.
And finally...
If you need to shit so badly that you completely miss the toilet and spread it all over the bathroom, you could at least come tell us!!!
The other night as I was leaving the most disgusting smell was beginning to permeate the restaurant. I thought one of the customers had really bad gas or something, but it turns out that somebody had gone into the men's bathroom (which is right by the front door) and had taken a shit on the floor, over the urinal, and over half the walls, then LEFT without saying a word to anybody!!! Our poor dishwasher Galoshes had to clean it all up. He had to clean up a kid's puke one time too. They really don't get paid enough to deal with bodily wastes like that.
Hope he gets a bonus this year.

How does that even happen? I understand explosive diarrhea, but can't you at least aim for a toilet?
Our restaurant is insanely slow right now too.
As for the toilet, people only come and tell you there's something wrong if they can't find the extra toilet paper that's actually already in there, or something equally stupid. Never if there really is a problem.
Probably embarrassment on their part (re: not telling you) but if there's ANY indication that you can't direct your bodily waste properly, you really should stay in.
Nice on that $10 on $10 tip. That's happened to me once or twice, and I think some people go out with a budget in mind ("I'm getting a $20 lunch today") and then just tip based on that. Which also explain the random, terrible tips from happy customers sometimes... the ones who calculate out cents so their bill totals $100 even (O.M.G.).
douchenozzle LOL!
Gross! Love the blog though. Want to trade links?
