My first day of serving on my own I had a three table station (all lunch stations are supposed to be 5 tables) but since it was first day I didn't complain aloud too much. It was incredibly dead. I hate 4 tables all day. My last table was a husband, wife and their 5 kids. It was the little girls b-day and I brought her brownie, ice-cream and hot fudge with her candle and they were all like "OMG!!" It was way cute. Then they sang happy birthday to her. They told me I was doing great and on their $86 bill they left me....$50! Woah. How cool is that?? Dude. It was super fucking cool! Other than that table I made like 10 bucks. So it was a great end to my day.

That table rocked and it was the kind that made you want to go back to work the next day. That is how it always should be. I would of liked to go back the next day even if their tip had not been $50! They were friendly, not demanding, and the kids were pretty quiet and cute. I would enjoy serving more tables like that.
My second day on my own I had station 1 which is all the way at the front but is a newbie station so I was not shocked. But I kept getting sat like crazy and I was totally weeded. One my tables was very rude, four old hags. The I have a coupon (as they wave it at you, that's nice...do you want a plaque for cheapskate of the day?) 4 waters w/lemon, you forgot our bread kind of ladies. Actually, bread is only upon request at lunch...so you just have to ask politely and your server will bring it to you. I totally biffed it and was late bringing this ladies salad...she had to ask me. And I thought I had rang in their ticket and I hadn't. Thank god they were medium/med rare prime ribs! So I punched them in pronto and told them that I had punched in the ticket and they had lost it so I had to repunch it in. I thought it was pretty good lie. As I walking away, they were babbling....quite loudly so I would hear them, "That's not a very good exscuse." Those are the kind of people you want to dump hot coffee on! Ooops SORRY! I came out with their food and apologized telling them it was my second day on my own. Yadda. On their twenty-something dollar ticket...shockingly...they stiffed me. But it's to expected in this business. Old grumpy ladies who's husbands have shriveled dicks that can no longer please them, so wrinkled in fact that they resemble a raisin on a good day. I suppose I might be pissed too in that given scenario. Yet I think I would have the decency not to take it out on somebody who has nothing to do with my problems. Well, some people are just shrewd, old ugly, hags and they can not be helped.

Some people are just stupid. I was running Laurie's station my last day and this woman thought I took too long to get her drinks. So she went up to the bar to get them! Mike the server saw her and said he'd take them to her. So he did. I went over to the bar to get them and seriously it had been a few minutes...not very long. And they weren't there and the ticket was in the trash recipticle. Mike came over and told me he ran them etc. I was just baffled. Apparently she had told Mike that she was a server etc etc. Whatever bitch. I don't care if you're the princess of Whales. Sit your shit down and wait a fucking minute.
