Waitressing brings out the mean in me
1. If you don't have the money to tip well don't. go. out. to. eat. You cannot afford it. 2. If having a servant for half an hour really gets you off, see a therapist. 3. If you ask for a glass of water with 7 lemons in it, order a lemonade. We see through you. 4. Do not hand me your menu when I am scribbling furiously to get your order written. 5. Do not discuss, loudly, how a waitress once gave you incorrect change and by God you made her go back and fix it. You probably owe her that extra nickel you worthless miser. 6. If you want your steak not as pink as medium well, but not as done as well, go fuck yourself. 7. Don't eat half of your food and then tell me it wasn't prepared correctly. 8. You are a douche if you tip off the discounted price you get from a coupon, or special deal. 9. Don't ask for an item that is not on the menu. We don't have it. 10. Do not come to lunch, in a hurry, in a group of 15, request separate checks and then tap your foot impatiently. Law of credit card processing: the more you give me, the longer it will take. Douche.

Gee Hope...didn't have a bad day, did you???
Personally, I've always said that EVERYONE should have to work as a server at least once in thier life. It would give them a whole new respect and appriciation for the person that was serving them...and MAYBE, just MAYBE...they would treat thier server like a human instead of slave...
That's why current/former waitress ALWAYS treat thier servers so well...they know what is/was like to be in your position!
Yes, v. bad day. I had these two women who's orders got lost and they were just plain old MEAN about it. So sue me, I made a mistake. And there's this psychology that you can treat a waiter however you want. But you would NEVER walk into say, a meeting with coworkers, and talk that way. Why is it ok with waiters? I know the post was a little harsh...and I do have lots of pleasant customers for the record.
NO...I wouldn't say that it was all that harsh...just a realistic view of how some people really are!
ANYONE who's ever been in a job that caters to the public...food service being the most prominate of the industries...has had similiar experiences I assure you...so don't be too hard on yourself!
You encounter that sort of treatment in a lot of jobs. Wherever there is a dominant/subordinate relationship, there is the potential for bullying, demeaning, insulting treatment. It just brings out the very BEST in some people. I remember when I worked at...oh, never mind.
