Being a waiter rocks!

For the most part that is.

My restaurant decided to have this day called "penny pancake day." Basically if you get a beverage, coffee, lemonade, soda, and the likes you get to eat all the pancakes you can for a penny a piece, and these aren't silver dollar pancakes, these are full size fluffy fvckers. Basically the day consisted of ten tops walking through the door asking if we accepted link card (not really, just something I thought was funny). Every nut job, "special" person, and dickhead came in today. I honestly have never taken so many tables for so little money in my life. People don't understand that even if you get penny pancakes that tipping 15 percent on a 4 dollar bill that would normally amount to near 10 is horrible. 75 bucks on the busiest shift of my life, nearly 200 guests I waited on in a 6 hour shift. And yes, I was rocking a 12 table section all day just to make that much, I was flipping the hell out of those tables. I was praying to slip on a wet spot on the floor and be sent home.

I'm now drinking Sam Adams summer ale. Cheers!

i believe a ten top is a ten pancake limit per customer.

Ten top = table for ten

And get a real job.

10 top is 10 people at the table.

That summer ale has to be getting a little old. Haven't seen it here for a solid month.

Being a waiter is good money for a college kid. I did it. Nothing like having $80 to $100 in your pocket everytime you leave work. Unfortunately I worked at an Applebees so I served basically only white trash. They were horrible tippers.

I've worked retail, hotel, dominos pizza but I would never work as a waiter in a restaraunt, I couldn't deal with those prick customers because I would do the worse things to their food (Waiting).

thats two kicks.

Being a waiter is a great job as a college student. I work three shifts a week and will generally walk out with 100 to 150 on each. 300 minimum in cash ain't too bad for 17 hours a week. They wouldn't accept any requests off for today which pissed me off even more. I had that **** locked in 2 months in advance, and my gen. mgr. said hell no. ********!

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Unelss he is working in a 5 star restraunt waiting on nothing but rich *****es, then I call BS!

 

[cobra65427289 10+ year member]

Second on the BS!

Unless your father wrote the book Waiter Rant I would think other wise.

All I know is you don't want to wait at Applebee's here after 9:00 when the appetizers are half price. A friend of mine did and ended up quitting..All the porch monkies come in about 8:45 and sit and don't order til 9:00..Then they sit there and eat appetizers for an hour and don't leave a tip. Thats the case here.
