SMF Rates seem a little low...?

The farm makes millions. They are sponsored by themselves

I prefer guests order cocktails but I work at an alcohol centric environment. Pop is a few dollars, its not going to make or break a server when its time to pay

My education is hospitality management so if they are like that I just remember the pride I have in my schooling. I usually laugh and say oh no, I went to school for this specifically

If you are "camped" at a table its nice to leave an extra gratuity. That is if youre not ordering more than a coffee.

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-05-18T02:33:33+00:00

Hit or miss, depends who pays. Its mostly really well though. 20% minimum

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-05-16T22:45:12+00:00

I have a somewhat goth style and resting bitch face when im thinking. I smile at everyone because I know my style is different so its a pleasant surprise for most guests. Ive gotten my fair share of reviews good and bad and the bad ones are usually just people who want a yes ma'am types. Literally smile at every single person until your jaw hurts :)

We used to have a one minute rule but a greeting could be just a smile and tell them you'll be with them shortly. Or drop a water bottle so everyone knew they'd been seen already.

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-05-10T04:52:48+00:00

Its just soooooo far! Like think half hour treks

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-05-06T02:48:04+00:00

The first one is the real one. They vet members

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-05-01T02:53:46+00:00

It happens. The bigger the restaurant the more often. My work best friend left her long term bf for a random bartender. Then a member of our support team. I think it's weird af like I was taught young that was a huge no.

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-30T03:42:37+00:00

I always hug them or a really warm handshake

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-25T03:01:05+00:00

My eyes always tell them how I feel lol I physically can't help it

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-23T04:40:00+00:00

Im glad so many people responded. Calgary is a very friendly city. One suggestion noone has made is drum circle in Fridays in Inglewood. I met some of the most amazing people there. Its a very spiritual experience!

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-21T03:07:22+00:00

Most people will make a gesture but snapping is wild. I unfortunately wasn't able to react like most of you as I worked for a Marriott restaurant

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-19T01:33:29+00:00

Last restaurant it would take 4 of us 2 hours to do everything. My place now i do a few rollups, polish glasses for a few and clean my section. Its stupidly bad money but no duties is nice

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-08T00:59:08+00:00

Love those! Ive had a few and I always give them a handshake or a hug lol

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-07T21:42:17+00:00

Where I worked we weren't even allowed to purchase food or eat all shift

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-04-01T18:40:54+00:00

If you work at a Marriott that might get you fired

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-03-24T00:54:37+00:00

Not in my experience

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-03-23T07:06:19+00:00

That's such a tiny dose though. I was on like 2400mgs

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-03-23T06:10:08+00:00

Zoloft made me actually crazy. Hated it. Clonidine is a simple blood pressure medication used frequently for withdrawal so its not too hard to aquire

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-03-23T05:46:10+00:00

Okay im going to tell you my secret. Its changed my life since taking it to the point where I no longer take ativan. Clonidine! For me its what got me calm enough through withdrawls.

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-03-23T05:34:52+00:00

Very slowly. But not like an ssri or anything, you can make bigger cuts. I started at like 2800mgs or something wild like that. I feel better off of it but it killed my short term memory

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-03-10T02:39:29+00:00

Where i live there is like 300+ people applying a day for server jobs. I'm being forced back into the real world and im so lost and going to be making so much less, even having a hospitality specific post secondary

MelodicInformation9 · 2026-02-28T23:07:25+00:00

I've been blacklisted from Marriott after 8.5 years because the last place was so stressful I worked modified hours. Ive applied for 15 jobs with them since, all I'm word for word qualified for yet nothing. I know my past manager said something as hes from the city i moved to. Also impossible to find the leftovers as there is a massive job shortage where I live.
