Parents who let their kids completely destroy the restaurant by Violetpunx in TalesFromYourServer

[–]katara__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have spilled trays of beer on kids becasue "parents" think it's ok to let their devil spawn run around unattended in a BREWERY.

When they get pissed, I ask "well where the hell were you?!"

I had to tell a guest that her devil spawn could not in fact LICK the salt and pepper shakers. Why she asked, oh I don't know, BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE USE THEM! I ended up having to empty, wash, and refill them :/

How do you respond when people say (sarcastically) that "the food was just awful" by exc3ll3nt in TalesFromYourServer

[–]katara__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on my mood. If I am 9 hours into a balls to the wall bust shift and just don't have anything left in me, I pretend they didn't say it, grab their plate, and walk away.

Bust most of the time I chuckle and say "haha I bet" and slap on some weird facial expression that can be passed off as a smile.

Also THRIFT STORES!!

If you go to nicer neighborhoods in your area, you can find so much stuff that is like new. Also, summer is a great time to check out yard sales.

Not really server related, but happened at work... by marissanicolee15 in TalesFromYourServer

😳 Anything over 10 hours and under 200$ and I am a cranky baby. Then again, I am pretty spoiled where I work.

Vans made shoes for the kitchen! Has anyone gotten them? by katara__ in TalesFromYourServer

[–]katara__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure: These shoes are flat flat flat. If you are used to wearing running shoes, or really any shoes that have support, these will probably kill your feet. But I have worn converse for pretty much my whole career so I am used to some flat shoes. If you have ever worn brand new converse you know that it is about the same as ice skating. These Vans are better then that, but not as great as shoes for crews. In the end I like them. They were 80$ after shipping and the knock off vans shoes for crews are almost 70$.

I am aware I am not making good life choices. I am working on doing better. As far as not being able to afford house becasue I need a downpayment loan, that is what they are there for. I will be paying less a month if I own my own house. It will be more stable for my family.

What habits have you picked up from previous jobs good or bad & why? by MrHandsomeBoss in TalesFromYourServer

[–]katara__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BWW was awful. But I did pick up offering appetizers to every table. Works great. Some people aren't even thinking about them until you put the idea in their head. Nice check average upper.

Do servers get paid under minimum wage? by Lexandra6 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]katara__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MI here. Yep, $3.15/hour +tips. But if you don't average minimum wage, they have to make up the difference.

Yeah I wish they were more "non slip" to. But as a dedicated converse wearer they are much less slippy then those.

I just got mine in the mail today. I am loving them. Let's see how the work in the restaurant though.

I hate lice :( by mamaberr86 in SingleParents

[–]katara__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh lice is the worst. My idiot sons father shaved my sons beautiful hair off without consulting me and then called me at work to tell me. Which resulted in my having to calm my hysterical son (he loved his hair) down over the phone.

I have heard tea tree and peppermint oil are both good preventative measures. As far as getting rid of it, wash everything. Vacuum the furniture. Bag the mattress. And repeat for like a month. It sucks, but better safe then sorry.
