It's been a long time folks...

That's right, I'm still here, and once again, serving food. It really isn't so bad right now because I am in a place where I seem to be well appreciated by both the staff and those dining. I am still working in a corporate chain restaurant, so the fun never ends! Birthday songs and free refills ahoy!

I have also made this blog now open to comments from anyone who views this site. Please feel free to leave comments, even though I might not write back, I will read each and every one of them.

I had a few memorable tips in my restaurant that I just feel the need to proclaim:

$5 on $50 from 2 women and a baby who asked me to bag up their leftover mashed potatoes and cut up chicken tenders with ketchup all over them. They also left me a wonderful mess of napkins underneath the table. What fun!

$3 on $60 from a couple who just had to have a frozen margarita when our bartender got slammed with a whole bar full of people and a few tables. I knew I was in for it when they handed me $70 and asked me for change. That really helps me pay my bills!

$8 on $85 from a party of 7 college kids. Usually the college kids are pretty good tippers, but these ones were just flat out annoying with the "Uhhhh where's our refills???" All they had to do was ask for one in the first place and I would've gladly gotten it. A comment like that is just assuming that I am a mind reader and realize you need a refill everytime your cup gets half full. Sheesh...It must be nice to have a Saturday or Sunday off and be able to go out to lunch with friends while screwing up a server's rotation because there are so many of you without a guaranteed gratuity.

The fun never ends in these parts, and I can only hope that the rest of the Spring season goes well and provides me with less stories to write about.
