Food and Bev

It should be a requirement in life to work in the service industry! i am sick and tired of bartending and having some fancy lawyer come to the bar and talk to me like im a damn idiot. I went to college, im still going to school, and im persuing a PHD (even though i cant spell), so talking to me in a really loud slow voice is really just going to piss me off. i know how to make a martini, i also know how to use an electrophotometer, so there!

just a note to all of you who have not had the pleasure to serve others: snapping, waving your glass, and shouting my name is not neccessary for a refill, in fact, now i will probably ignore you on purpose. If i am not paying attention to you at that exact moment, it probably means i am speaking to another guest and you need to wait your damn turn. You will not die if your martini takes 5 seconds longer, you are not the most important person there, and to me, you are now the least.

Lastly, where tips are concerned: 20% is standard these days, more is better, but nothing less. If the kitchen makes a mistake, dont take it out on me. I didnt over cook your food, so dont act like you are dissapointed in my grilling skills. I know the economy is in the shitter, but im trying to pay my rent and my bills as well here. If you cant afford to tip, please stay home, i have no interest in wasting my time on you if you would rather buy another beer instead of leaving a tip. I dont care if you are a doctor or a movie star, i am a person too and i need to feed my dog

Moral of the story: dont fuck with the people who handle your food, its just not smart.
