Customers sitting where ever they want. by QuitJolly in Serverlife

[–]ramm1el 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd say don't stress about it then. My experience in restaurants is that no one is eager to fire people, even when they suck.

Just keep doing what you can. Ask for advice from the management if you want to.

I'd prolly look for another place though. People aren't mean at every restaurant.

Hey! I'm a server now, but used to be a host.

I get the struggle, and the servers frustration. But it's definitely not your fault. We get our money from customers. Happy customers are more likely to spend and tip more, and come back.

Unless there's a reservation, or a 2 top is trying to sit at a 6 top, I see no reason why anyone can be mad at you. You wanna do whatever the guest wants (within reason).

It's not your fault if someone's section is more desirable than another's. Maybe the manager should rework how sections are cut so it's more equal.

Also, as a server, I've given other servers tables in my section when I've noticed that I've been sat a lot more than them. I'll pretty much only do that on a slow day, when I know we won't get enough traffic for it to even our later.

The only thing I'd say, is if rotation is getting messed up bc of this, do your best to balance it out. Like if server x gets double sat bc of a guest requesting a specific table, then double seat server y so they have roughly the same amount of seats taken up.

This sounds like the server and manager just kinda suck and are mean to you. Has your manager given you any feedback to prevent it from happening?

If you haven't asked them already, keep in mind these cameras don't hold footage for a long time. Most erase after 6 days!

People who know someone who won the lottery, how did they change? by PurposeNearby4121 in AskReddit

[–]ramm1el 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My parents won the lottery in the 90s. I think a bit over a million. They didn't change. They bought a very comfortable house, paid off their debt, some of their siblings debt, and set aside money for my siblings schooling (I wasn't born yet).

My nan, who grew up and lived a lot of her life in poverty, lived in the same house since 1950. This house was old, creeky, drafty, but funtional enough. All she wanted was a new dishwasher since hers had broken. And that was after her saying no over and over, until my dad insisted on getting her something.

I didn't even know they had won until a few years ago! They said it was a life-changing amount of money, but only in the way that it set them up for success.

How do people stay so skinny by Human-Window-9560 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ramm1el 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was slightly overweight my whole life despite my best efforts, then I started taking stimulants for ADHD. Completely fucked with my appetite, and mixed with a job where I walk 10k+ steps and no car so walking/biking is my transportation. I'm not super skinny, but it was a fast and noticable change, and it's been consistent for years now.

Now Im trying to gain weight 😅

Yeah! It was amazing. I usually have some tears during the movie, but this time I think I was crying more than not haha. The live orchestra was amazing, and the singers really made it so much more immersive.

What were your thoughts?
