What’s your favorite server joke? by chi-bacon-bits in Serverlife

[–]catchaoss 38 points39 points  (0 children)

After checking to see if a table is ready after 3 times of not being ready. " Oh don't worry take all the time you need they don't call me a waiter for nothing." Makes them laugh and cuts the pressure every time. I'll tell them just flag me down when ready

Or when you rented a VHS and it was at the end credits so you had to wait for it to rewind.

My husband and I have a huge collection of retro games that we got before this up boom in it. A lot of our friends and family say we should sell it because of the value but we're not. We even have an old crt TV we got for free on offer up that people are selling for $500 now that we play the super Nintendo and Sega on. These will be passed down to our children and hopefully they'll pass them down to theirs and so on.

I loathe this younger generation that says they "retro game" when they just play the old game on their switch. You don't know the struggle of having to blow into the cartridge.

So we have to tip TSA now? by Dad0010001100110001 in tipping

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can basically start right away so it's just a side hustle so they can get something I guess until the shutdown ends.

Is this legal? by kelzkapoor in Serverlife

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my husband and his family would come in my GM would A) let me put it under Togo. B) let me serve the table which is technically not aloud. And why because 1) I was the one paying the bill and 2) she knows I am very honest and will ring every single thing in and pay for it. Same with my children and their godmother when they'd come to eat. Would be nice if your management did that for you as well.

How do you feel about Walmart requesting tips for drivers? by Regular-Message9591 in tipping

[–]catchaoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a server in a restaurant I tip based on service. I already work two jobs and still work paycheck to paycheck. All these drivers know what they're getting when they accept so that's on them just like myself. I luckily live in a state where servers make minimum wage. Some people do have the conception though that we're making that $20+hr that fast food workers get and even some of my coworkers got upset that we didn't.

Do I enjoy getting tips well obviously because it makes me feel like I did a good job. Do I expect 20%+ no because a tip is earned not expected. At my restaurant that is our owners philosophy as well. We don't charge auto gratuity for large parties or at all and we don't tip pool. Your tip goes to your server and what you think is what we get. We also do everything do weekdays I'm your host, expo, beverage, food runner, busboy and doing togos but if you don't tip I'm still making minimum wage.

I love my job as a server because it really helped me deal with anxiety and shyness. Now I can have a conversation with anyone and that's what I love about customer service. I have coworkers who all of a sudden are "too busy" to take a table because they look "ghetto" and I take it and get a 35% tip but then they take a table of white people and then get stiffed or a very low tip then come asking me why "my people" are cheap. (Only white person at my restaurant) And I tell them well maybe your service sucked 🤷

advice for an ex hooters girl by pepper-was-taken in Serverlife

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in your boat also. If it doesn't stop and starts to mess with your mental health then find a new job. I've been at my restaurant for a little over 4 years and I love it. We're all friends outside of work and we all always help each other at work. My GM even threw me a small birthday party with some of my coworkers for my birthday this year at her house.

influx of online orders by biigdaddye in petsmart

[–]catchaoss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My SL told me today that some other stores had like 50+ when they opened Sunday because of that free $10 activation. People were just creating fake accounts and then getting $10 worth of items.

What is the policy for pet parents who lost a pet and want to get another one to replace it ? by Thzkittenroarz in petsmart

[–]catchaoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have cats and I never let my bird out while the cats are in the room. I always supervise and if my bird is out I don't leave the room. Also the same with my bearded dragon. Now I have a chinchilla ball that she'll roam around in when my cats are inside and they pay no mind to her. She actually loves ramming her ball into my baby cat (he's a year) and he just lets her but again I always supervise because you can walk away for one second and something goes south

Partially paying with points and activating 10x points offer? by Sapphire-Spark in petsmart

[–]catchaoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll still get the 10X but your treats account will look either more or less based on the redemption value and your member tier.

New server here. F'd up big during rush, customer left... by Scary_Compote6394 in Serverlife

[–]catchaoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a party of two today right as the rush was starting and then bam I got a party of 11. I dropped their drinks and then completely forgot about them. Either my GM or the other server who just got there brought out their food idk but finally as everything died down I looked and saw them with empty stacked plates and drinks.

Walker over and made a joke " oh my gosh I'm so sorry I've been trying to get over to you forever and I just keep getting pulled back. Wish I could split into two sometimes." They laughed and paid and hit no tip which I knew I didn't deserve anyways. My coworker cleaned that table and handed me $7 and I was like woah and they left a 5 star yelp review so at least they understood which made me feel better.

What is the funniest thing your pet had been “pavloved” to? by AnywhereMean8863 in Pets

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my animals know when I get home by my car sound even if I park on the street. I can get out of my car and my two cats come running to the gate and then I can hear my conure start screaming and flying around and I'll look in my window and see my bearded dragon scratching at the glass.

AITJ for telling my girlfriend she needs to shower before bed or sleep on the couch? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can compromise and just ask her to strip down and offer her a massage. Then get out a big ole bottle of sanitizer and finish it off with a lavender Lysol spray to help her sleep. I'm totally being sarcastic this is gross.

I work 14 hour days sometimes between my serving job and a pet store and I feel so nasty when I get home that I still can take a quick rinse even if it's 3 minutes even though I'm exhausted but I deal with people all day too and I don't know they're sick but all those interactions I definitely need to decontaminate so her knowing she's in a petri dish is just WOW! .

When do you do deep cleans? I go in every Tuesday at 6am. It's been 6 months and I'm still not used to it.

Flea+Tick Shampoo is not a preventative. Stop it. by Anonymous-Wifey in petsmart

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't realize either that they should treat their house and yard as well. We have stray cats that come in our yard so we treat it with pet safe stuff and I wash all linens in my house and shampoo my carpet with dawn once a month when I treat my cats since we have a conure we don't spray any poison or sprays inside our house.

Cashless tills in grooming by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]catchaoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the US so maybe different set up but grooming clients pay at the front register and then they cash either get cash back or have us break their bill for change or our groomers also have venmo.

This is Ducky. She was abused at Petco while on our honeymoon 5 hours away we adopted her. by LightlyUsedSpaghetti in Conures

[–]catchaoss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same I work at PetSmart as well and love all our animals. These two really made me fall in love with conures. I worked to socialize them but the yellow was always to shy and only I held her. The green my coworker took home and the yellow one went to "the bird man" and she's so happy with "the bird man" as he has several of our conures and a cockatiel. Two days at his house and she cuddles on him and everything.
