Update.

The police investigated my friends house and found a good deal of evidence. They found the guy and arrested him. He is in jail on a $50,000 bond. It is so weird at work. Of course everyone is asking me about it because it happened to my best friend. I've been pretty much telling them to mind their own buisness and don't worry about it. I said it a lot meaner, though. Its still almost like it is not real to me because I am so shocked.

Sexual Assault

This, unfortunately is my most serious post yet. This weekend, my best friend's roomate invited a guy that we work with over to their apartment. My friend went to bed and locked her door and the guy busted open her door and sexually assaulted her. It was such a shock because it is just not something you expect from someone you work with. When I found out I was so mad I was seeing red. I also had tunnel vision. I was hoping and praying that he would walk into work so I could beat the hell out of him. Of course he didn't. I have a lot of respect for my friend, though. She went to the police and rape respones and she is pressing charges. It takes someone strong to actually go through with that.

Embarrassing

Ok, so our kitchen is really slippery. Our manager has tried to buy these mats to make it better but the mats are worse then the floor. Our shoes always end up going underneath them and we trip. It's horrible. Well, I was coming out of the kitchen on Friday night and I had a tray of food I was carrying. Well, of course my foot gets caught and I go face first into the floor. The food spills everywhere. And of course, this happens in front of all the people that are waiting to get a table. Everyone just went silent. Finally, an older lady comes up to me and says, "Honey, are you ok." I tell her yes and she says, "Well, I bet your pride was hurt worse than anything, huh." Thank you lady. I wasn't embarrassed enough as it was.

A little buttery revenge

Oh  I am evil. My general manager's wife is a very rude person. She tried to run the restaurant and she has no idea what she is doing. She also does not know how to talk to the employees. So, today I was scooping out some cinamon butter and my friend said to me that it would be funny if someone took the butter, put it in their hands, put it on her shirt. So, I was already mad at her this morning. After my friend said this, I got an evil look in my eyes and I had an evil smile come up. I put a huge glob in my hand and took off to find her. My friend is freaking out because she didn't think I would have done it. Well, I found her, went up to her and put my hand on her back and started talking to her about one of my table. She had a huge buttery handprint on her back. Everyone thought it was awesome. She found out it was there later and started asking people if they did it. She never once asked me though.

Restaurant Etiquette

I really need to vent about customers. First off, if your steak is not cooked right please do not cuss me, because the only thing I had to do with that was when I took your order and put it in. And I put the order in right so I am not to blame. And seriously, is it that serious that you have to cuss me out for it? Second, if you do not have enough money to leave a 15 percent tip, then don't come to eat. Or, if you do, don't order the most expensive items on the menu and add all the extras you can to it. I make $2.13 and hour and I have to pay tip share to the hostesses, bus boys, and bartenders. Third, when I come to your table to greet you and I ask you how your doing, please do not sit there in silence and stare at me. Speak. For the love of God please answer me. It will take you all of five seconds. Same thing goes when I'm asking you for your freaking order. I cannot read minds, you are going to have to talk to me. Fourth, please be courteous of your servers. Do not sit at their table for two hours after you are already done eating and then leave them a crappy tip. I understand you haven't seen these people in years, but you need to understand that once again I make $2.13 an hour and I am usually only running two to three tables at a time. So if you are at my table for four hours that means I am only making money off of the other one or two and if you take the time to do that math you are making me lose out on money.

Whew!!! I feel so much better. I have been holding that in for a long time.

Horrible Managers

Have you ever had to work for that one manager that you just knew had to be the worst manager ever. Well, I really believe that I had to work for the worst one ever. This guy was so mean to everyone. He was always cussing his employees and saying really mean remarks. The real problem with it was that he could definitely dish it out but he could never take it. He actually used to tell some of the female employees that they were too fat and that noone would ever want to date them. Or on a scale he would rate them a negative ten. Well, it started to come back and bite him in the butt. He was having alot of complaints on him. Then he actually had the nerve to be mad. He said that we were all "throwing him under the bus." So, he finally put in his notice because he said that we didn't treat him right. Yeah, what a load of crap. Well, on his last day I went to ask him if he would cut the section that I was in because we were dead. His reply was, "Why don't you just shut your f****** mouth, forever. I was deadly calm when I looked back at him and replied, "you know what, you better hope that when you clock out for the last time and go to your car that I am not in the parking lot. Because if I see you, I swear to you right now that I will punch you in your freaking mouth." See, if you worked with me you would know that this isn't normal for me because I am always the nice person that gets along with everyone When I say things like this, I am dead serious and I mean every word of it. After I said this to him, he just looked at me and turned around and walked away. Everyone around us were just froze with shock because I said that to him. It felt so freaking good.

Crazy men

My favorite kind of people to get would have to be the table full of crazy, middle-age men. They absolutely crack me up. Last night, I had a table of four middle-aged men. From the start, they are flirting and joking around with me. I just kind of roll with the flow and laugh at the jokes even though they weren't really funny. At one point, one of the guys told me that if I would sit in his friends lap he would give me twenty dollars. No, I didn't do it but it was tempting because I was broke. Not much usually surprises me. But, when they are ordering, one of them actually said something that made me almost lose it. One of the guys ordered a chicken sandwich. He said that he didn't want any onions on it. Then he goes on to say that if his plate comes out with any onions on it, then his pants were coming off and he was going to burn all of his money. Wait, what??? Yes, he actually said this and he said it as seriously as he could. I told my manager what he said, and she made sure that his plate DID have onions on it when it went out, because she wanted to see what he would actually do. Sadly, he just laughed it off and kept his pants on. I mean, how funny would it have been to actually see a middle-aged man take off his pants in a restaurant because he had onions on his plate?
