Another Waitress Pissed Me Off

Web Hosting Services

hi lovees

last night i got seated this 5 top. they are regulars and they like me - one member of the party is a shitty tipper but the others always make up for it. so, i kinda like them but if i dont get them, its ok with me.

when i was at the table, shit chatting and taking their drink order - out of the blue another waitress came up to me and said "um, lucy im taking this table, you wait on that 4 top - they requested me, mngr said it was ok". i was fucking livid! and, the table knew it. you should of seen the look on their fucking faces when she did that!

she had waited on them last week. last night when they walked in the dining room they saw her and asked her to wait on them. but, they like me too. so, i knew for sure it was no big deal for them to have me as their server.

right after it happened, at the bar the waitress said to me "sorry lucy" - i said "please dont ever do that again in front of customers".

i didnt talk to her all night and she knows im fucking pissed. i sent her a text message this morning saying i will never be able to wait on them again.

and the thing is - shes labled as a table hog. she had a 12 top and a 2 top going in her section. that is why she couldnt fit them in. i would have never ever done to her what she did to me. i would have politely told the table i didnt have room in my section for them. im still seething!

i gotta work with her tonight and all day sunday - ugh....

8 Top Promers Part 2

hi lovees

today when i went into work, gary told me the whole story about the crazy bitch mom who had to rescue her daughter and her daughter's date. please see previous blog entry.

apparently - after i delivered the check, the entire 8 top could not understand why their totals were so high.

they went up to the bar and one kid asked gary "hey, how can 2 chicken alfredo's come to 40 bucks?".
gary said "um cuz there is 18% gratuity added in".
kid said "18%. thats a rip off"
gary said "well, the going rate is 20% and thats why we dont like to wait on kids like you"
kid said "well, we want it taken off, we want to tip on our own"
gary said "nope, can't do it - its already added in"

and, that's when they called the psycho bitch bipolar mom. LMAO.

i love my gary. he stuck up for me and from now on i will always take care of him. he's officially a my true PBAW.

take care lovees

8 Top Prom Kids OMG

Web Hosting Services

hi lovees -

this is what happened tonight. tonight was a semi informal at a local highschool. as a whole we hate, hate, hate proms. they dont tip. only a couple of years ago did the owner allow us to start adding in the gratuity to all promers, regardless of how many sit at a table. this is great in some cases, but if we know the parent is going to come back o pay, etc. or scrutinize the bill we wont add it in cuz we are scared to. lol

well, i got an 8top of semi informal promers. at 7 or more we can definitely add it in. so, thank god i was completely legal.

the checks were seperate, but i added in each tip which totaled $22. some of the promers didnt have enough money so one had to call her mom to come pay...

i had know idea the mother was coming. this is what i witnessed as i came up to the bar as the 8top was paying.

a crazy bitch lady was going ballistic and yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs asking why the fuck a tip was added in, and didnt we realize they were only promers. she was screaming it to our bartender, gary and my friend ethel. as soon as i heard this i did a 360 and ran back to the kitchen cuz she scared the livin shit out of me. i knew gary and ethel were handling her - they were getting completely bitched at. i knew they had my back covered. so, basically, i made like a banana and split! lol! fuck!

well, when the crazy bitch lady left i ran to the bar and gary said "lucy - you owe us - she reamed us a new asshole" and i said "ya, i knew you and ethel were taking care of it and i took off". he said "ya, i know - WE SAW you leave".

crazy bitch bipolar lady did pay the whole bill, thank god. gary and ethel politely explained to her we add it in if its 7 or more people. so, i did make the $22. fuck.

and you know what - another server waited on 10 other promers tonight. i told her she should add it in. she said "im not gonna, its all seperate checks". guess what - she made 4 fucking dollars off a fucking 10 top of promers. wtf.

we hate, hate promers....

Our Story - Diane and Me

Web Hosting Services
hi lovees - in 1963 my aunt became pregnant at the age of 16, i believe. she had her baby girl at a catholic hospital 3 hours away and gave her up for adoption. she later married the same man, had 2 more children, etc. but they are divorced now.

in the late 1990's my cousin gina (her sister) and i began searching for my aunts little girl. gina and i made alot of phones calls and wrote alot of letters trying to find her. we found this one lady, phyllis, who lives 15 minutes from me. she likes to take information and tries to match up birthdates, etc. to unite families.

One summer day (about 2 years later) , i was cleaning my house like crazy, and i got a phone call, out of the blue, from phyllis. she believed she found my aunt's little girl. i totally completely freaked out. i couldnt believe she had been found. diane had put her informatin on some adoption registery - phyllis got a hold of the info and matched it up with our information. i immediately called gina - who, the next day told her mom.

to make a long story short, and after the DNA test, @dianeskilton is officially my new cousin. not only did she find her mom, she found her sister, her brother and her dad and his family.

oh lovess - what happened tonight made me have such a physical reaction that i immediately had a severe low blood sugar attack. it was comparable to being caught stealing - I was HORRIFIED!

while taking drink orders from this really nice 6-top (i knew it was gonna be a at least a $30-40 tip) - i asked the very last person at the table what they would like to have to drink - she said she would have a RED HERRING semi dry reisling.

i told her i thought we were out of the RED HERRING reisling and asked if she would like DREAM reisling - she said "ya sure".

one guy at the table laughed and said "by the way which is better, the RED HERRING or the DREAM reisling" - i told them "the DREAM reisling was my absolute favorite" - the entire table laughed at me and also had a WTF look on their face. immediately, i knew, i just knew, they owned the RED HERRING WINERY. and i said "please dont tell me, your from RED HERRING" and the entire table shook their heads yes and laughed.

I was utterly, completely floored - i had just told this fabulous 6 top essentially that their winery sucked ass - and I saw my $30-$40 tip drop down to zero!!!

my entire body started shaking - i was a little bit in the hole - i dropped one of their meals (an eggplant parm). thank god the chef likes me and had one cooking at the time, and was able to give it to me right away. the table didnt see me drop it. the entire table really didnt talk to me or laugh any more - you could tell they were upset I didnt' like their wine.

BUT HONESTLY - i really had no preference between RED HERRING or the DREAM winery. i just told her i liked the DREAM so she would feel good about her 2nd choice. if i tried to explain that it would have looked like i was lying. so, i had to let it go.

they left me $19 on $104.
