16 Things You do that Piss of Your Server
So my coworker an I were remembering the hell that was this past weekend(Vday) and decided to make this list. I stopped at 16 because it fit with the other meme. So here they are in order of how they annoy me.
1. Not using your knife and fork to eat your crepe. That sawing back and forth feverishly that you do to get a bite makes my blood boil.
2. Not pushing in your chair when you get up from the table. I know you pulled it out to sit in it, so why is it so hard to put it back where it came from?!
3. Sitting with your feet sticking out away from the table, I love running into your shoes with my shins, it makes them very colorful.
4. Stacking your plates up is NOT helpful to me. I just have to restack them and that takes more time than if you had just left them in front of you.
5. Don’t ask if we have a bathroom, its the law.
6. Its winter and while I know on the grad scale Portland is not that cold, but standing in the door way with the door wide open in a very small restaurant freezes the place pretty fast, so shut the f*cking door!
7. When your waiting for a table and you see people get up, do not rush over to that dirty table and sit down, I know you are waiting and I won’t give it to anyone else. Sitting there is rude and doesn’t allow me to do my job correctly.
8. When I come to fill your water glass, and then you promptly pick it up and chug the entire glass, I will wait at least 5 minutes before I go to refill it.
9. That empty table next to the one your sitting at is neither your coat rack or your trash can. Just because no one happens to be sitting there at that moment doesn’t mean they won’t be in the future. You have a table, that is where your stuff belongs.
10.Napkins do not belong on top of you half finished food, or even your empty plate. I have to deal with enough garbage, keeping it less dirty is appreciated.
11. If you are a large party, you are not helping me by moving tables yourself. I know how to accommodate you and am very skilled at merging tables.
12. Just like the bank, you can not come in and wait while we are closed.
13. I have worked here for over a year, I have had over 1000 crepes, so please don’t ask me what my favorite crepe is, I hate them all! Read the menu and figure out for yourself what you like.
14. What part of no separate checks is hard to understand?
15. If I am at another table, I cannot do anything for you, so trying to talk to me is just plain rude and makes my desire to do anything for you very low.
16. We are a small restaurant and sometimes the food takes a while to be made, so I’m glad we have board games to entertain you, but if you take one off the shelf and play with it, put it away. I know you know where it goes.
So do I sound like the most evil bitch you ever met?
It was a long weekend, filled with a lot of STUPID people. And I feel so much better now!
Asia – Philippines / Cockfighting
Understanding how the betting system works actually takes a little getting used to.
Like the trading pits of the commodity exchanges in New York or Chicago, bookies here use hand signals to denote their odds.
If a finger is pointed upwards, this means denominations of “Tens”.
When pointed horizontally, this would mean that the bets are accepted in terms of “Hundreds”.
Lastly, if the finger is downwards, the bets are accepted in denominations of “Thousands”.There are two types of bets that a bettor can place. One is in the gallery itself and the other is placed with the arena’s pit manager.
Here, bettors are liable for a 10% arena fee called the “Plasada’. On top of this, winners have to tip 10% of the winnings.
The game itself is a very fast paced and exciting to watch. And before you know it, the match is over.
For the Filipinos, Philippines cockfighting is also a form of entertainment to relieve the stress of life. But most important perhaps, they see it as a way of earning money when jobs are scarce.
Most Filipinos believe in lady luck, believe in easy money and believe in miracles. It is the Filipino’s notion of a romantic life when reality is so cold and difficult.
