Tales of a waitress who escaped the restaurant industry and then discovered a desk job kind of blows - so I put the apron back on. And I deliver pizza because getting paid to drive around listening to music is pretty awesome.
Customers are just plain bitchy tonight! I'm getting tipped less on perfect service and perfect food than on nights everything is fucked up. I don't get it! Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
Ah the beauty of serving. There is no way to judge a customer or a tip. If there was only some sort of physics or algebra or historical reference to make tips 20% + every time. Sigh.
just wanted to say i recently found this site through servernotslave and i think it's FANTASTIC! thank you for writing so often, it's so amazing to read!! just sometimes i get confused on the "major characters" and i was wondering if there was one past post where you laid out nicknames like CL, L., etc.
I was about to go to bed, but I just had to pop back online to say -- yes, I absolutely have a list! On the right hand side, just about the Facebook box, there's a link where it says "Wonder who the hell Lapdog is? List of coworkers is here!" There's your shortcut for future reference. :) The link is http://slightlycrankywaitress.blogspot.com/2009/11/roll-call.html -- although L. isn't on there, as I haven't talked about her much. Glad you're enjoying it. :) I'm off to bed now!
Dude! Happens to me all the time! I bend over backwards, do everything of sucking people off, or rearing their children... and the tips are like 11-14%!!
Then I get in the weeds, bring food out late, and forget drinks? 18-25%!

Nativenapkin, you're probably right. Gotta love those. :)
Caz, some nights it does seem that way!
Sauce, that algorithum would be worth a fortune for sure.
Anonymous, you're welcome! :)
