I don’t think so!

I’m not sure what other restaurants do when it comes to Dine and Dashers or Chew and Screwers, but at the restaurant I work at, when assholes like the table of seven that thought they would skip out without paying their tab did last night, they left their waitress completely broken down because she had to cover their tab.

There is what they call, a skip fund, that all the wait staff contribute to, but it only covers for a certain percentage of the charge.

So when the seven people made their order, stuffed their faces and had a shit load of alcoholic drinks, we’re looking at at LEAST $30 -  $60 per person with food and drink. They decided it would be fun to just sneak out without paying.

Sure this always looks funny on the TV, like when the kids from ‘That 70’s Show’ skipped out on a meal, but that’s just TV and it’s supposed to be a comedy.

But when you do it in real life, you’re sticking somebody else with your tab…. Not so funny now is it.

Anyway, I felt really bad for this girl. She was crying for the last few hours of her shift because her paycheck is going to be docked for over $100.

It was a very busy night too and she had to keep serving tables with this burden stabbing away at her back, making for a pretty miserable night.

The thing that made this hard to watch is that the girl that was fucked over is a very Happy and Cheerful one and never had a bad attitude to anybody. I imagine her customers enjoy having her serve them. Then to see her break down like that…. well.. was pretty sad to see.

So ‘You Seven  Fucking Assholes!” I Hope you enjoyed your Free meal and Booze! I just hope you get what’s coming to you in Hell!

If you ever go out dining, don’t do this shit. If you’re short on cash by mistake, talk to the manager, don’t make your server pay your tab, that shit is just wrong.

Yup. It seems there’s an endless supply of the stuff. My head hasn’t turned into a raisin yet from dehydration. The snot flow just continues to go, and go, and go. Apparently from my eyeballs, as Corey pointed out, or as teeni put it, melted brain tissue from overheating, but I said one would need a brain for that to happen, so that theory is blown out of the water.

Work was really busy from the ECMA Awards that are going on all over the city, and because of them the Bars and clubs are allowed to remain open until 4am instead of the usual 2am closing times. So the drunks are probably enjoying that.

Speaking of drunks… There was this one guy that came to the restaurant and sat in the chair and never ordered anything. He just sat upright with his eyes closed. Sorta’ like he was meditating or something but clearly drunk to complete pickled brain state.

The manager, and the boss both tried to have him leave because he was not ordering anything, and was probably freaking out the other customers. Well he just sat there meditating. So the Boss, supervisor, and the Manager decided to help him out by dragging him out. Well didn’t he start to go all crazy in the lobby! The Boss, supervisor, and Manager apparently had to take him down! Three guys! Had to take this drunken idiot down! I guess he was throwing punches and everything.

Then the cops came, and didn’t the drunken boob decide to take some punches at the female cop! MACE TIME! They planted his face on the frozen pavement and tried to handcuff him. After the struggle they finally managed to get him in the back of the police car and one of the Officers came to the back office to write his report and I guess the guys are pressing charges too.

After that was all over, we were egging the guys on with, “Woah! That’s why you don’t mess with the boss.”, and “Way to go Rocky!” and “Look out here come the tough guys!” They were all sheepish as they walked through the kitchen.

So besides it being super busy, it was pretty entertaining too!

As for the cold, it has moved into my sinuses and chest. My head feels all clogged up and my chest is congested also. The fever is almost gone, but still there enough to make my skin all clammy. With it being in my chest, it causes me to be out of breath really fast when I do anything taxing. Sucks to have asthma and a cold at the same time.

So I’m going in again tonight to do it all over again. Last night went very smoothly and the time flew bye fast, so lets hope tonight goes as well, and hopefully I’ll have some more stories like the drunken meditator!

Last night was one of them night that usually don’t happen on the job, but it was inevitable. You see, stupidity can really piss me off at times and for some reason it’s the one thing that really gets under my skin and I just can’t help but explode in anger when the stupidity involves me.

Last night I was doing a shit load of prep because one the the busiest days of the year (New Years) is approaching very fast. I haven’t purchased my own knives simply because I really don’t plan on being there very much longer, or at least until I find a better job. Anyway, buying a set of knives would be a waste of money, so I use the only Good Clever to chop up the vegetables for all the stir fry.

When I chop, I am furious. I’m very fast at it, and when I need to use a cleaver or French knife, it HAS to be very sharp. If it isn’t I refuse to use anything that is dull. I really don’t feel like being rushed to the emergency room to have one or more of my fingers sewn back on.

Well anyway, while chopping away, one guy decided to take it upon himself to just walk on by, and grab the clever I was using saying, “We need it to chop some Green Onions.”

The thing that pissed me off about this was, he just took it. Didn’t ask me if he could borrow it, or ask how much more time will it be till I’m finished with it. He just took it.

The lazy Chinese cook fucked the dog all night till it came time when he needed some Chopped Green Onions for some orders so it was a priority. I can understand that.

But instead of just chopping up enough to last a couple of hours and letting me finish my work, that I was already in the middle of an have been working through with out any breaks, they ended up holding me up for almost over an hour.

Fucking ignorant stupid empty helmet!

I can’t believe how desperate Dave and the guys must have been at the time to have to put this person in the position they’re in right now. Times must have been tough and they didn’t have any other choice, because when this guy TRIES, he fucks everything up, and every decision he makes is one that make your one brow raise in bewilderment. Every action he does is obviously never thought through before even starting to follow through with the action, causing more problems and fuck ups.

With all these fuck ups and other mindless decisions it’s always the rest of the kitchen that ens up having to follow behind him and make it right. The incompetence last night had me wanting to strangle the living shit out of him.

One of my other co-workers went out to take the grease buckets to the grease disposal bins just to get out of the kitchen and get away from the constant ear fucking from this guy, but unfortunately, he followed him out to help him with the buckets.

Poor guy tried to get away from him fore a bit and his plans fail miserably. LOL

There are people that just don’t know things, who you can cope with and understand, but then there are the people that think they know everything but are complete idiots that cause more trouble for everybody else, and they are the ones that end up getting under my skin and pissing me off so bad that I want to strangle the living crap out of them.

And if the idiot is reading this. You know who you are.
