My Frikken Job

Seriously, This is not how I envisioned my second blog, offical first becasue the intro is not suppose to count. I just got home from a local hang with a local bud...and i decided to write at 1 in the am. whatever right? Well I have of course come into a blank maybe "writers block" sine i have started my blog. So anytime is good time to start writing my what will become famous stardom to reality/sitcom. I know its only been a day but it seems like i had all these ideas when i first started it.
Well heres this one
I worked a double today and so you know i am a server at a chain resturaunt here in my town. If you have or are working as a server then you will know what this blog will entail considering the fact that i was at the restaurant from 1030 in the am til almost 10 at night.

Here is the first dose of what you might excpect as a server.

You come in to the restaurant and and of course its not set up properly from the night before, either there are no towels ready or silverware needs to be rolled or my favorite LEMONS. Well that might not be everywhere so you servers out there reading this might be lost, please stay please read on ti wil get better.

Here is the second dose of what you might encounter on a typical day of serving. This is my absolute favorite and sometimes it keeps me going and sometimes i want a REAL job becasue of it.

Me: "Are we all ready to order?"
My guests: " Yes"
Me: "Ok, what can i get for you?" Looking at one inpaticular guest
My guests: "I will have the steak."

Pause for un momento. Ok I work at a steakhouse for all you out there wondering and when a guests says they want a steak its like walking in to a Hair Salon and saying "Um, yeah, I think i want the haircut today." Seriously people.

Ok i have only had one person say those actual words but this one is more like what you might have expierenced.

"What can i get you?"
"I will have the sirloin."

They stop, you look at them and they look at the next person, now do they look at the other person like they are done? or do they look at the other person for moral support. After doing this for six years, i have come to conclusion that they definetly think they are done. ok, so if i could do what i have really so desperatley wanted to do for so many long dragged ot years, ii would say ok, and they go on to the next person. So when their food comes out it is a sirloin. Period.

"Oh, and how did you want that cooked?
and it comes with a side and salad sir"
"What do you have for sides?" he says
well Baked Potato, Mashed, as my list goes on the tone in my voice gets more aggrevated. Did you know that the sides are listed in the menu...de de di
...wait for it my favorite part...
And salad sir, would oyu like the garden or the ceaser?
"I will have the garden"
Here, again is that annoying look down at the guest and they look over to the next person lilke they are done. REALLY ok i will get you a salad with no dressing, sorry to late you have a 30 minute time limit when you order food here at whatever the name on the door is. I have been here so long i cant recall.

No, really guests are relentless. I dont care how long they have been going to the same restaurant and even been sitting in the same booth. They will still say "Can i have a Pepsi "
my never ending response
"Is coke alright?"
If you have been going to this restaurant for however long you aspire to have come here then shouldnt you know we serve coke products. Which by the way does not include PEPSI

Oh and Do you have sweet potatoes today? REALLY once AGAIN. If we didnt have them they would not be on the menu.


OK. There ar eso many other exciting i guess cliches, you'd call them. but my time is precious and id like to use it for sleep at the moment. Look for my Frikken job part 2.
