Wait Ress Ing

violetboregaurd by violetboregaurd · Dec 31, 2003 · 152 views · Journal

I wasn't going to write a journal, but I am - so here I am.
I have come to be a server at a ski resort here in PA and the clientele is ultra wealthy with personalities to match the lack of humor reflected in their lack of style. Needless to say it pays the rent and waitressing is waitressing.

So tonight I had to work, not to mention its New Year's Eve and I have to work tomorrow morning, New Year's day, and I can't go snowboarding at Mountain Creek - now I'm rambling.

Anyways I just get peeved because this girl I was working with decided she didn't want to handle anymore tables tonight and told the rest of us that she wasn't going to. Just made the statement and decided to not serve anyone else. Even told some other customers the kitchen was closed.
Now if I were to do that, more or less I would probably get fired. So here is my question to the Ezabel jury...
WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE IN LIFE THAT CAN JUST GET AWAY WITH BEING LIKE THAT? The kinda person who just states what they are going to do and not do and makes the rest of us accept it. The kinda a person who is sorta hard looking (this chick looks like a man) - or carries themself as a hard person.
Anyways I'm venting and just laying it out there... talk to you all soon. Much love always.

Its all about attitude. You see shes smart. She probably does somewhat of a decent job most of the time. Besides that...you think shes scared to lose this job? Theres a hundred restaurants in your area willing to take another slave to wait tables.

i don't know though, they are funny out here with hiring. People keep their jobs cause they need them. Agh alls well that ends well I suppose - I guess I'm to nice...

men like fire. Trust me. Think pyromaniac thoughts.

There are people that get away with that because there are other people who are willing to put up with them. If what she did bothers you, you should complain to your manager.

hehehe sounds like me at my job... sometimes i just say "i'm not helping that customer" or "some one else has to ring cuz i don't feel like it" but then other times, i like to walk around the store and ask people if they need help instead of waiting till they ask some one else... i guess its like if ur equally doing work to make up for the times u are lazy-then its OK. :)

I've been around the world, and I wrote a million songs
It's all a bore to me
I've slept in the gutter and I've lied with the dogs
It never bothered me
Said the sherrif he come to, with his little boys in blue
They been looking for me, child
But with my crystal-sheen guitar I'm another ego star
So give it to me

Get me to the stage - it brings me home again
This is Shangri-La.
I'm tripping on it now - it brings me home again
This is Shangri-La

I look bad in shorts, most of us do
Don't let that bother me
I'm the football who is who, and I don't believe in smack
So don't you die on me
Don't you die on me
Cause love is all good people need
And music sets the sick ones free
Without love no one grows, nothing gonna ever sing

Because if this Is Shangri-La, honey
And you have gathered for the feast
My bread is your body, the wine is blood child
The wine is blood babe
The wine is

Give it to me!

Get me to the stage - it brings me home again
This is Shangri-La
I'm tripping on it now - it brings me home again
This is Shangri-La
Take me to the stage - it brings me home again
I'm tripping on it now - it brings me home again
Oh, yeaaa...

I know how you're feeling. I used to waitress at a restaurant, and I worked with a girl with a very similar attitude as the one you mentioned. I don't know how they manage to get away with certain things without getting the boot. But, I feel your pain.
