Rude

Having worked in the food service business for a long time, I've encountered my fair share of rude people. Tonight I was really disheartened by the behavior of a group of kids..

They sat on the patio at a smoking table in my section. There were 3 girls and one guy, all Hispanic, and didn't speak English very well. They immediately started throwing drink orders at me, and then the two girls kept changing their minds between raspberry iced tea and lemonade. After bringing their drinks out, I got their orders, which they also kept changing...i was starting to get frustrated..

When their food was delivered to the table, they claimed it was cold. They were very rude about it and demanded it be re-made. After running around trying to get the kitchen to remake the food, they kept asking for more refills and the one bitch kept asking for lemons. Keep in mind they were in a smoking section, and these girls thought it was OK to blow their cigarette smoke right in my face....

I was trying to be as polite as I could....Their bill came out to be about 50 bucks...one left a 0.36 (yes, 36 cents) tip, and the other left 2 dollars in cash..

$2.36 for busting my ass and trying to accommodate these rude people.... As they were walking out I thanked them again and smiled, and they all just pushed past me like i didn't exist.

karmas a bitch.. i wish everyone had to work a month in a food service job, just to take a walk in a server's shoes. We have about five thousand other things going on, your table is not our only priority. Treat us with respect and we will do our best to make sure you have an enjoyable time. Being rude does not help the situation.

but other than that, it was a good night. wednesdays are busy because it's all you can eat "wings"day, plus the Suns/Lakers game was on... i made OK money...im still getting the hang of everything and sometimes people get a little frustrated with me. im tired, goodnightt!
