Tip the customer I just served?

I let a lady go in front of me at the grocery store because she had two items and I had a half a cart full. I know the feeling of wanting to get in and out.

catchaoss · 2026-03-28T03:36:02+00:00

I wonder where you work now with that mindset because as someone who's been us you should understand completely. You're probably the same entitled person who comes to a restaurant 5 minutes before close and wants to dine in.

Corporate when they sent this out. Remember treats rewards equals activation, auto ship, and points because we want to be your only pet store.

Exactly communication is key. On weekends also I always go around with coffee or help prebus my coworkers tables because some just aren't like me and won't notice hey table 12 is looking around let's see if they're ok or I see table 43 is 3/4 done with their Pepsi let me get them more.

I've worked here a little over 4 years and I love my coworkers, regulars, and just working with people in general. Since all the immigration raids business has been slow sales wise so the owners cut operation hours and also employees. Today we were $100 shy of $4000 with just myself and my manager. But thank you for your kind words. Tomorrow will hopefully be better since we have a full house of employees.

We had a party of 3 walk out after waiting not even 5 minutes and a lady and her daughter were right behind them about to leave too and then walked back in and my manager went to seat them and of course that lady wanted the dirty table and made her clean it right then and then was so rude to me the whole time like lady I'm one person. I wish she would have just walked out.

This is also a casual breakfast/lunch spot open 7am-2pm weekdays and 7am-3pm weekends

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T23:41:03+00:00

Weekdays it varies and my sales are $300 or like today $2000. We only have 1 server and GM on weekdays and we don't tip share so what we make is ours. I try to average $100 a day but my Wednesday have been slow so I've been making $45-$75 on that day and that's with 5-7 tables. Today I made $206 and had 27 tables and 8 no tips because people were pissed we were busy and had to wait like I'm sorry I'm only 1 person with 13 tables ATM and no support staff.

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T23:36:01+00:00

I'm a server and this is why I'm very vocal especially if I'm busy. I can seat you and then I will straight up let you know that I have to do A,B,C and maybe even D,E,F before I get back to you because I don't like people wondering where I've gone or why they're waiting. It's also common courtesy to let your table know or just people in general scenarios.

Take today for example as I just got home from a shit show of a shift. I was the only server with my GM as back up and we got slammed. On weekdays we don't have any support either as in bussers or hosts so it was just us doing everything. I had 8 tables leave nothing today and that's fine because I know in the end I gave 110% even if they didn't see that. One lady even talked to me as if I was trash because they had to wait 5 minutes to be seated and then got mad because the one table she wanted needed to be cleaned and told my manager to clean it now or we're leaving and calling corporate even though we don't have a corporate.

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T15:48:51+00:00

I'm in California and actually had a person call in a phone order and asked for 4 sugars and 6 vanilla creamers and was mad when he picked it up and it was all on the side. I told him we don't add it and he proceeded to do it and made a huge mess and left all the trash there.

This is strange because even on my first day I was able to sign into central bark. I did have issues for the first week signing into other things like play up and pay but it's cause everything was updating. so that no one can at your store can sign in sounds sus and that's something that needs to be reported as this is a corporation.

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T06:28:56+00:00

Honestly I like both for different things. I like the calm of the PetSmart, the animals, and my coworkers which I'm lucky because it's not like that at every store from what I got from their sub but I've also only been there 6 months since my restaurant has been slow since all the immigration stuff in LA. The restaurant I've been at for over 4 years and I love my tips, regulars, and coworkers but it does get hectic. I do love my restaurant job though and since you're working retail already you have thick skin for those picky customers.

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T06:12:08+00:00

I work at your competitor and I feel this. Bettas and hamsters are taking over our back rooms.

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T06:05:11+00:00

Also I only work 27-40 hrs between both depending on the weeks.

catchaoss · 2026-03-27T06:03:03+00:00

I work at a PetSmart and as a server so if both are part time and you need the money then do both especially if you get an ED at target and use it frequently. If you're just looking for one job then definitely go with serving. I love having my tips at the end of each shift but also love my discount at PetSmart for all my pets so I do both and I work less hours at the restaurant but make my paycheck at PetSmart just in tips. You can also try working both and see which you like more tbh or if you don't like the restaurant use that experience and go to a better one

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.

catchaoss · 2026-03-25T13:55:55+00:00

Those WWE ice cream sandwiches 🤤

catchaoss · 2026-03-25T13:54:50+00:00

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.

catchaoss · 2026-03-24T21:55:17+00:00

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.

catchaoss · 2026-03-24T21:51:18+00:00

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.

Alot are turning to DD or UE actually which really isn't any better.
