At Your Service

[ayours-blog]

My girlfriend and I live in separate cities...

I get to drive between two cities every week and is been exhausting. In each city I have a restaurant job. One is extremely busy in the summer time and I've been there for over five years. That job is in my hometown and I lover it there. They treat me well, I love my schedule and the essays is family owned but still extremely organized. It seems like everyone I turn around something is getting upgraded or some process is being improved. Everyday I'm proud to work there. I'm going to hate to leave that place when the time comes. The other is a different story.

Hiatus

I’m back from not posting here for a while.  Been pretty content at my job.  I’m a server and I made over sixty thousand dollars last year.  My parents are both teachers and I made over ten G’s more than them in 2015.  I will say their jobs are probably much more honorable than mine.  I guess the difference in what we get paid makes that pretty sad.  The world is messed up.  You mold young minds and you get paid peanuts.  You walk around, press buttons and smile at people (even when you don’t like them) and you get paid more.  I guess it all makes sense because actors and other celebrities get paid millions for their fake personas and characters

Got this table the other night that ended up splitting their check. Two couples. One guy says, "we're good tippers so don't worry. We'll take care of you. We own a restaurant so we know that usually that means 10% but we really mean it." Meanwhile the other constantly raves about my service with statements like "This is the best service I've ever had," and "Your service has been perfect." Perfect he says. Perfect... They both lulled me to sleep. Good tipper gave me 21%. Average at best. Mr. Perfect gives me 17%. Leaves me wondering what I would have gotten if I sucked since the best service of his life was only worth 17%.

Being a server is the ultimate occupational groundhog day. No matter what you did yesterday it's like you start over from square one. Clean slate. All new customers.

For those of us in the service industry we usually refer to a service industry night as a sin night but here I’m referring to service industry nightmares. If you’ve waited tables, cooked or managed a restaurant long enough I’m sure that you’ve had at least one. You wake up in a cold sweat trying…

I think maybe you’re dream is trying to say more than your job sucks man. You gotta look at the bigger picture here. I mean you pretty much told me from that is that you’re afraid to ask for help on something and that you feel stuck/running in circles trying to figure out how to deal with whatever it is.

[ayours-blog]

That sounds like a valid point.  I don't think that the problem is that my job sucks.  It is one of the better jobs that I've had but as far as my life in general goes I do feel like I'm drowning sometimes and would like someone to save me but I know that's not going to happen.  When I do receive help (not usually because I've asked for it) it is just enough to keep me from giving up but it still keeps me from feeling comfortable.  I think that's the way a lot of us feel in our day to day lives, though.

In my blog you good folks see a lot of me flaunting the rules, bending them, and sometimes outright breaking them.

There is one rule in the restaurant, however, that I never ever for any reason mess with.

When somebody states they have an allergy, I get a manager. This is so the manager can A)...

The Verbal Tip 1

Verbal tips mean nothing when unaccompanied by actual money.  Nobody goes up to the register at a grocery store says "Hey, you're really good at your job bagging groceries" then drops off $10 when they owe $12 as if the compliment makes up the difference.

I can say this is accurate as both an American college drop-out and a Starbucks employee. I have a co-worker with a masters degree for fuck’s sake.

So tell me this isn’t a million dollar idea…

Think of a “restaurant chain” that delivers however their main area of expertise if comfort food for when you’re sick. Maybe you are single and don’t have the energy to go out and buy soup. These guys have fantastic nourishing soup recipes! They will...

This idea should be put into motion immediately!
