Introduction

So a little about me. You can call me M. I'm 25 years old, and for the last ten years I've been a waitress. Started working at a bingo hall for a long time (not much choice for a 15 year old, most places won't hire so young. Besides it was only a few nights a week so it didn't interfere with school or my other job or anything). I worked at a marina too. And now I'm at a much nicer place where I make a hell of a lot more money than I did at my other jobs. I bartend and host as well, and I've recently started doing what I'll call being a sort of assistant manager for lack of a better term (basically, I train the new employees, take reservations, answer the phone, help the girls who are on the floor by running food or getting drinks or whatever.) In my spare time (yeah right) I'm working on my master's (trust me, you don't want to be in this industry for life).
For the most part I enjoy it -- I make good money (I make at least $10 an hour in tips, sometimes up to double that if we're busy), most of my customers are nice and I like talking and joking with them, and I'm mostly good friends with everybody who works there -- but sometimes people are just too stupid to handle. That is where this blog comes in. I'll rant when customers piss me off, share their stupidity for your amusement, and, I hope, teach you the proper ways to behave when you're at a restaurant or bar and let you in on what your server is actually thinking.
