IF YOU DO NOT READ THE PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED AND SEAT YOURSELF AT MY RESTAURANT YOU WILL NOT GET SERVED LIKE A NORMAL LITERATE PERSON WHO WILL READ THE FUCKING SIGN AND WAIT. AND IF YOU WAIT LONGER THAN YOU SHOULD HAVE DO NOT GET PISSED OFF AT ME BECAUSE I DIDN’T GET YOUR FUCKING COFFEE ON TIME. IT IS NOT MY FAULT YOU CAN NOT READ. OR ARE YOUR NOSES SO FAR UP IN THE FUCKING AIR THAT YOU CAN’T LOOK DOWN TO SEE WHAT IS WRITTEN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOU. JUST KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE WAITING LONGER THAN YOU SHOULD FOR ANYTHING WHEN I SERVE YOU, IT’S PROBABLY YOUR OWN FUCKING FAULT.

I would ask them to get out of the table and go “wait to be seated”
My Gawd, if this makes you crazy, maybe you should reconsider your line of work. This is a case of stupid people doing what they do best – you’ll never escape them, especially in the restaurant biz.
Do the words “CAPS LOCK” speak to you OP?
Booo hoo hoo! Yet another server that is so hard done by. If you don’t like it, leave. It’s that simple.
Seriously, there really should be a “Boring Server Bitch” label, like the boring bus or break up labels.
Tim, can we get a “Boring Server Bitch” label?
Never Wrong, I second that motion.
Or make a special section called “here we go again” and all bitches about servers/tips/public transportation/ bike vs peds vs cars can go in there.
I worked in the bars and restaurants for 10 years, and I do feel for some of the bitchers on this site. But I gotta say, Shut The Fuck Up Already! And that goes for the people bitching about this or that restaurant/server as well. No one wants to hear it.
If you work in a restaurant, you bitch to your coworkers or your supervisor. That’s how it works because no one else cares!
If you visit a restaurant and have a crappy experience, Don’t Go Back! Don’t keep going back and complaining about the same shit every time. If you don;t learn your lesson, it’s your fault every subsequent time you go.
Btw, isn’t there a place for bitching about restaurants? (Hint: Flashing orange link at the top right of your screen right now)
I wonder if this bitch is motivated by a dining room with sections, single servers assigned to each section and a single hostess who decides which servers get to make the most tip money? If that’s the case, the patron who seats himself fucks up which servers get to make tip money and which ones don’t by leaving the hostess out of it.
This is another tipping bitch disguised as a can’t-you-read bitch. I’m not falling for it.
Wow. Guess what OP? You just fucked you, and the rest of your profession out of tips in perpetuity. I’m one of those business people, and believe me, we’ve got a memory for this sort of shit. Good luck with your job.
Perhaps you should wear a goddamn T-shirt that spells it out for them. But in all seriousness, this is what you signed up for. If you don’t like it, many employers would take you in an instant with your lovely smile and disposition. What are you waiting for?
Hey Dino, the ever difficult Dr. Fever just screwed the girl out of her last tip opportunity before the end of her shift. Give her a break. She’s had a long week. hehe
I never thought I’d hear Kay ask to give someone a break.
Nah, she being sarcastic as usual, and making a mild attack at me, as usual. No worries, I’ll be fine, and I hope the OP has a terrible week next week too.
Stick around Dino… maybe you’ll read between the lines and NOT jump on the Love-The-Way-We-Hate-Kay bandwagon like the rest of these lemmings.
Does using CAPS make business people less illiterate?
Aaaaah… LOUD NOISES!
Speaking in the third person as usual again, kay?
I don’t hate you Kay.
I don’t hate you either Kay. I actually enjoy your comments sometimes.
I only hate one person whom I’ve never met, and that’s Gwen Stefani.
For me it’s Keanu Reeves. I’ve heard he smells really bad.
Anne Coulter
Maybe they prefer to wait for a LONG time while they are sitting, rather than waiting for a LONG time while they are standing. Therefore, instead of complaining, maybe you should learn how to fry those burgers faster.
Ben Mulroney…. I fucking hate that douche.
and kay’s a twat…. almost universally. now that that’s off my chest….
I’m actually not pushing (or going to push) any more banners simply because it adds overhead to Tim’s job and he already treats us well enough. I could see a snowball effect which is why I think he’s resisting.
Perhaps if it were automated as a checkbox when you post the bitches… but you can’t trust the world to do it with any accuracy. Which brings me back to the bitch actually… the more people there are… the more stupid people there are.
If we catered to the lowest common denominator, there’d be things like “change tire now” written in the tires when they wear down rather than the universal wear bars that have been in place forever…. or warning labels on coffee cups saying coffee is HOT…. or cameras for your rear bumper because you can’t think to turn your head and look….
oh wait…..
Thanx zZz… it’s been about 5 minutes since someone bashed me without being able to say why. God love ya.
you’re occasionally insightful… so I threw that “almost” in there. See… progress!
