Dear Resturant Patrons:

Alright. I truely agree with the statement: "Everyone, at some point in their lives, needs to work in a resturant." It is darn true. So, as I get on my soap box for this post, I hope readers will either change their way of thinking, or become a little more understanding.

K, I realize that when people come to a resturant, they have expectations. They want friendly service, relatively fast service when it comes to food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Likewise I expect that also....

BUT.....

Please realize that when one comes into a resturant, at 6p.m., just like every other Tom, Dick, and Harry, that those expectations stated above may have to be tweaked. As for me, if I step into a resturant, realize that the place is ENTIRELY PACKED, that my service may be a little slow. I can not expect that I will get my food within 10-15 minutes like it may normally happens. Now also realize that we as workers, are trying our damn hardest to stil make that happen. But, we can not control what happens in the kitchen. Realize that if every Tom. Dick, and Harry comes in at the same time, and orders are going back at the same time, that means approximately 40 peoples food is being cooked at one time. ITS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE LONGER. Also, by no means is this your server's fault. They are doing all they can to ensure your happiness, but if the kitchen is backed up, then yes you have the right to be angry. (Note: don't not tip your server just becuase it took long to get your food. It's not their fault/)

ALSO...

(this one kills me) By no means should you be angry if there is a wait at any resturant IF IT IS A HOLIDAY (aka good friday) and you come in FOR A FISH FRY at 6PM when EVERYONE else in the universe has also COME INTO EAT. We as resturant workers, can NOT make people eat faster, talk less, and make them leave. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. So, if you do not have a reservation for said days (holidays) and you come in when everyone else does, DO NOT GET ANGRY IF THERE IS A WAIT. 

UGG jsut frustrates me.

now if your service is poor, your server is crabby, then you have the right to be crabby. But if you can clearly see that the resturant is busy, all workers are running their fannies off and sweating..GIVE US A BREAK!!!


Ok, off my soap box, thanks for listening......
Happy Thursday!
