So I got my old job back since I've recovered from my injury enough to work. Last night I had a family try to split their bill and argue with me that paying with multiple cards was a split bill. I kept pointing at the sign and telling them I couldn't but this old guy yelled at me for it, in the end my co-manager came up and sorted it out for me, she told me later she only allowed a 2 card payment. Could have done 3 but because they were so rude she made them pay with two cards. Gotta love her.

I like my fries two ways: Soggy and soaked in gravy and ketchup, or oily and seethrough (also crunchy and maybe still soaked in gravy). Don't like anything in between XD Also that said, another slightly weird thing I like to do is order some mcdonalds fries and soft serve vanilla icecream and dip my fries in the icecream.

Fries dipped in ice cream or shakes is more common than you think, though I hear some people insist that the Wendy’s Chocolate Frosty is the very best for it due to a unique flavor and texture that complements the salty fries differently from other desserts. I haven’t tried it!

I promise my work is not a god awful place to work at, the management is great… we just get a lot of people coming into a family restaurant with their standards set at 5 star when it should be 3 star. So, first experience was a sunday night. I was finishing up my shift. Only had a few more tables and I was having a good ‘no complaints’ streak. Then this one guy comes in, gets seated, put an order in with my coworker since he had already decided. Orders some food first then orders a jug of lift from me and asks me if I can push kitchen to get the food out in fifteen minutes because he has to go to work. Immediately I think “oh lord, here we go. We’ve entered entitlement central” and just smile and say that I’m unsure of the current wait time for food but as it’s quiet it shouldn’t be long, and I’ll go have a quick chat with the managers and see what I can do. So I head up there, chat with the manager about it. The boss overhears and calls me over, informing me that meals need to spend 15 minutes on the grill tops before they can plate them up, he’s not scolding me, he’s just schooling me, and having a laugh with me about how pushy these people are being. Then after they get their meals, I let them have a few bites before checking in. The lady says “is this a full rack of ribs?” I look at it and confirm it is then she asks me if it is getting smaller and I say “yes it is, I’m not sure why. It may have something to do with costs but I’ll just go double check whats up” then she says “tell your chef he’s being stingy” So I do (except for the insulting the chef part), first I check the system and yes, they put a full rack in, then I check with the manager and she says “We’re measuring them by the corporation standard which is weight, before we did size but this way is better so just go up and let them know” so I told them, they weren’t impressed and said my coworker didn’t inform them of that when they asked for a full rack. But none of us knew yet why they were getting smaller, we hadn’t got a complaint, and who the hell explains every menu item when they aren’t asked? Anyway so the boss overhears again and says they’re being picky but they’re right. He’d love to continue giving the bigger racks of ribs, but unfortunately a while back we had a bunch of customers complain that they weren’t all exactly the same ammount and exactly the same size. They ruined it for everyone so now we do weight not size. It’s fair, a better business practice, and nobody can say they’re getting more or less. I suggested to the management that they write a note on our board about the rib changes and the weight and size of them now so everyone knows and they did it and then I passed over my section to my coworker. Apparently they were annoying the rest of the night and made some kind of insult when they were asked if they wanted desserts. But, on a different note, last night when I was covering a shift I had a lady who caught me outside sitting on the stairs when I was waiting for a ride home, she and her husband thanked me for my service even though I was finished with my shift then as she walked out the door they discussed something and she came back and said “I want to give you something for your good service” and gave me a $10 tip. That made me really happy :) Not all customers are awful so I have a little faith in humanity.

The last few shifts have been on and off pretty bad and I was wondering which story to submit. Would it be the lady who abused our manager because we ran out of the wine she wanted? The air hostess who came into our family restraunt with high expectations and really stiff hair (she made me take a 3 page complaint and bitched about our manager and staff for not smiling enough on a stressful night, particularly she didnt like the manager)… or maybe the nice guy who gave me a pep talk about how nice our restraunt is when he saw the air hostess throw the complaints at me? Well, I was waiting for something really… spectacular to come up. And last night it happened. So it was a usual Saturday night, we had a competition running in the staff to sell the most drinks that night, we were all in good spirits and laughing over how difficult it was to onsell drinks. My customers were all happy, there were a few issues with wait times elsewhere in the restaurant but nothing bad with my section. It started to get quiet, I went to grab a bill and my boss asked me to serve a man at the counter before I left. He also wanted the bill, he seemed in an odd mood but whatever, I found his table and print him his bill. I went off to run my bill, not thinking about it, then I went to the bar to run a drink or something, dont remember exactly what I was doing there coz then I heard a loud noise behind me, the guy I had served at the counter had begun yelling at another guy at his table. Unsure of what was going on I observed for a few moments figuring they might be loud people. I thought he was going to hug the other guy but then he pushed him into a wall and people held them back as they started throwing punches. Just for everyones information here and to set the scene a little more, this fight broke out in what we referr to as the kids side of the restaurant. Its where we seat familys with younguns as its right beside the play area which is inside a glass enclosure. So not only did the staff and a bunch of adults get to see this mess but it was at the table right next to the playground! It was in full view of everyones kids and possibly endangering them if any of them were in the way. I saw a few parents run into the playground to possibly shield and extract their children before I ran to the front counter and practically screamed “wheres (the boss) get (the boss) theres a fight over there. Get him quick.” The boss in question is quite a big tough guy, our other employer, his wife, sent a manager to get security while the boss having heard the fight and my panicked call for him went in and started trying to break up the fight, the rest of the staff who’d gathered to see wtf was going on were told to get back to their stations. So I went off shakily to take orders. The people paid their bill and got kicked out and when I went home I got drunk with my friends to calm my still wrecked nerves. THE END (Seriously. If you start a fight in a family restaurant. Fuck you.)

Hi! My bf has recently figured out he's asexual. I'm fully supportive, but I can't find resources aimed at the partners of asexuals to help them understand... It's frustrating and I was wondering if you knew of anything?

Honestly, the best resource you have available to you right now is your boyfriend. Asexuals aren't a monolith -- what is helpful for relationships with some of us might be harmful for others, what some of us enjoy, others will detest, and not all of us experience our sexuality in the same way. He is the foremost expert on how he feels, what he needs from your relationship, and what will make him most comfortable going forward.

Beyond that, read about the experiences of asexual people. I would suggest starting with the stuff posted on the Asexuality Archive, because you'll find a lot of good explanations of what I think of as 201-level asexuality material -- not the very basics, but actually getting into the meat of what it means to be asexual, what is important to us, our experiences, that kind of thing. You can also get that kind of information from hanging out on other asexuality-related Tumblr blogs. For answers to some of the basic questions about being in a relationship with an asexual person you can try this FAQ at AVEN, but be aware that most of the answers come along with some variation on "ultimately you need to ask your partner." Since your boyfriend is already aware that he is asexual, this article isn't entirely applicable to your situation, but it does have some relevant advice for people who are in relationships with asexual people. This one may also be helpful for you -- it details how to go about approaching the possibility of a sexual relationship with someone who is asexual.

But seriously, I can't stress that first paragraph enough. No matter how much you read about asexuality, your first, best resource should always be your boyfriend. He knows what he is and isn't comfortable with, and what he isn't sure about yet.

I hope that helps you, or at least gives you a starting place.
