I despise working the holiday season for this reason alone. <br />Parties are worse than individual tables in my experience, but almost no one is in a pleasant mood.Unhingedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524883356651253465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463166664601874507.post-48978461004049430792009-12-14T21:04:11.925-06:002009-12-14T21:04:11.925-06:00Cielo- It's people like that .. that make the ...Cielo- It's people like that .. that make the job worthwhile.<br /><br />Shellspan- I think that anyone who has worked in the service industry are better customers in every aspect. Mostly because they are aware of their actions. I think most other people are just blisfully oblivious.<br /><br />chopandcut- Well, thanks I'm glad I could help :) I think that there are exceptions to the rule. Not EVERYone is rude... but those that are just stick out in my mind because they tend to ruin my day. Good to know you're one of the good patrons!<br /><br />Waiter extraordinaire- Good point. One more reason for people to be cranky.. money issues. At least this holiday season I won't be dealing with them. Good luck to you!BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608708153505596563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463166664601874507.post-47061377860549458452009-12-14T20:57:38.778-06:002009-12-14T20:57:38.778-06:00People dining out this time of year with no money ...People dining out this time of year with no money leftover is a big problem that affects their thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463166664601874507.post-42282157495516674462009-12-14T15:09:19.606-06:002009-12-14T15:09:19.606-06:00I like to think Im polite to servers anyway but th...I like to think Im polite to servers anyway but this blog reminds me even more to be friendly to the people that serve meChopandCuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979749309918651199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463166664601874507.post-49480688054157900762009-12-14T14:36:03.601-06:002009-12-14T14:36:03.601-06:00I guess because I worked in the industry for so lo...I guess because I worked in the industry for so long, I am the exact opposite. I feel like I am nicer and even more generous during the Holiday season. Because I know that servers/bartenders are dealing with crabby ass people who are broke/pissed off/frustrated/impatient and I don't feel like it's right to put your problems on someone else that just happens to be serving/bartending wherever you decide to go and eat.<br /><br />I remember hating working in that industry during the holiday season because I knew that I would be dealing with people just like that and getting shit for tips.MommyLovesStilettoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743876173745605269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463166664601874507.post-32818966258282983292009-12-14T13:44:29.682-06:002009-12-14T13:44:29.682-06:00I once had a customer who would come in during the...I once had a customer who would come in during the holidays, on my slowest of nights, give me a bunch of grief throughout his whole stay and then leave me a $100 tip. He was my real-life Santa. I miss him. :(Cielo Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443900575509757688noreply@blogger.com
