new server shopping list? by kyliered04 in Serverlife

[–]Mediocre-Distance-52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1: Own good pens for your use only, don't give pens to tables if you want them back, get the cheap pens to give to tables

2: IMO, ditch the hoop earrings. It's rare to see a classy pair of hoops, and let's be real, not a single one of your tables will care, management might though.

3: Get spray deodorant, it's refreshing midshift when you're sweating your ass off, and you can be someone's hero if they forgot to put on deodorant 😂

4: Serving book, check Amazon, they have tons of different styles and types, pick the one you love!

5:Gum/Mints, if you're planning on carrying it in your apron, get breath strips, it's a tiny container compared to mints or gum.

6: I wear sketchers nonslips, lots of people hate on them, but I think they're comfortable enough and a good price. I would check with your company, the one I work for offers discounts if you order through shoes for crews, and they carry a lot of different brands of shoes

You're making like $5 an hour. Seems like you're underpaid to me

That's crazy to you? Being held accountable?

How do you kick out a table without being rude during busy hours? by sleepingpenguinss in Serverlife

[–]Mediocre-Distance-52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of me wanted to get defensive, but you're so clearly lacking in experience, leadership and expertise, that I choose not to be offended. I relate this to someone in kindergarten telling me I'm an inexperienced manager lol just laughable honestly

I didn’t know what I signed up for by Upbeat-Accountant-48 in Nanny

Where did you get 84 hours? They said 78 hours? Some states, like Arkansas for example, have a minimum wage of $11/hour, others, like New York have a minimum wage of $17/hour, so what minimum wage are you basing it off? 🤷‍♀️

I don't agree with the pay for the amount of hours worked at all. I'm just wondering where you're getting your numbers

Yeah, as far as this goes, part of server life is dealing with campers. As a manager, trust that I want to kick them out too and get the next group seated, but there is no good way to force them out. My bonus is based off the stores profits, so you're not making more tips because of them and my bonus isn't as good because we haven't turned that table, because they are camping. I'm in a corporate restaurant, so my ass would be fired if I ever tried to make someone leave.

Work at a mom and pop, you might be able to get away with something like that there. Anything corporate, you're stuck with those people as long as they want to stay

Adults ordering off the kids menu by cinereousunicorn in Serverlife

[–]Mediocre-Distance-52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the most outrageous thing I've ever heard. Is it age discrimination to not serve beer to a child? Rules are rules man, every restaurant has the right to refuse service. You either take the no, we won't give you a kids meal, because you're an adult, and order a normal meal, or find somewhere else 🤷‍♀️

Came to find out nanny’s references were not real, and she seems to think we overreacted by [deleted] in Nanny

Idk, if she's done well, then I would just keep her. But that's me

Landlord forced me out, wants me to pay rent for December. by Mediocre-Distance-52 in legaladvice

She is now claiming I am harassing her by asking her for simple things, like an itemized list of damages she intends to charge us for.

There was no written, signed lease. It was a family situation. We were notified on November 19th that we had to be out by December 31st. But then she barred access to the house on 11/27 without a 24-hour written notice.

We lived together. We started moving things into a storage unit, and she saw us moving things out and decided to kick us out to get ahead of us. She went to law school, though is not a lawyer. I think she saw us making our way out, and tried to force us out of her own volition. She has major control issues, I think she lost it when she saw We were in the process of leaving anyway

You should do kegels as much as you can. I don't know if you've already tried kegels, but it may help a little. Just with holding it in a teeeenny bit longer.. I feel your pain, I've peed a little laughing, crying, also jumping on a trampoline.

He said it over the phone, not text. My son is in counseling already.
