Maybe I shouldn't be this bitter?

$117 on $1,366.xx in sales. Ouch.

What seemed like a night that was going fairly well, turned into shit. I have the anti-midas touch when it comes to turning things to shit. It started off with some $5 on $80's and a few $2 on $40's. Overall, my food was coming out as ordered, everything was timely, and I can't say I was in the weeds at all despite not being used to closing. By the end of the night I had witnessed quite a few of the most annoying things you can do to a server.

I had a guy who anytime he wanted a refill (mind you him and his friends sat in my section for 2+ hours and left me $2 on $65) point at the glass. I really should've been like "Why are you pointing at your glass?" To me this is one of the rudest and most inconsiderate gestures ever. It's almost as bad as finger snapping and that "come to me" closing and opening of the hand gesture.

I also had a table that had small children who felt it was a good idea to turn quesadillas into confetti. They threw bread pieces all over the whole section. Boy was this fun cleaning up at the end of the night!

Let's not forget the people who wanted to send back their frozen mixed drinks claiming there wasn't enough alcohol in it. For one, I am a trained and certified bartender, just not at our restaurant. I know for a fact that there is 1oz of alcohol in that drink. Most chain restaurants will mix the liquor in the blender, whereas a bar will pour the liquor in the glass and put the frozen mix over it in a cocktail glass. The reason a chain restaurant does this is so that you can just barely taste the alcohol and will potentially order a second one. In other words, it has enough alcohol in it, GET OVER IT!

I had a few tables ask me to "hook them up" with various food items that they couldn't afford. Thanks for shorting me on the bill too. That really helps me pay my bills.

You have to love those people who will just keep ordering stuff for themselves and their family, but think nothing about how badly you need the money you're working to get. I mean, come on, I make $2.13 an hour! I must be extremely loaded after 13 hours on the floor.
