It's always nice to see someone get happy from the food you serve them. Just about everyone has a favorite thing to eat at a particular place, but don't you just loathe the person who has an infantile infatuation with something at your restaurant, and they make a big jack-ass out of themselves about it every single fuckin' time they visit?You have to hear the story about why it is so meaningful to them, and they modify the order to such douche-bag specs that you're certain to do something they…Continue

So i bring to the attention of the manger that my table who ordered 2…Continue

Gosh, this seems like common sense but apparently, the country is full of dumb-asses now. It is NEVER EVER okay to poke, grab, tug, smack, or hit your server! Maybe it's the "low class" style restaurant that attracts that "type" of person, I don't know. Currently, i'm stranded in a "glorified Waffle House type" restaurant and that's the kind of customer we get. When did it become okay to physically assault waiters? Yesterday, one of the girls came up to me and told me that she just got smacked…Continue

Does anyone know of any restaurant, bar or food service with location address in the Los Angeles area that would be willing to hire someone to work for cash or off the books, as they say. I can work at almost any position as I have a lot of experience but would prefer waiter, bartender, manager but would even work in the kitchen too. FYI, I need to work that way for a certain period and it's not because of any criminal aspect in my reason but rather just personal, so for anyone out there that…Continue

Had a woman complain about how my service was slow. Considering I was on by myself and that her waits on my service weren't long at all. She rudely interrupted me while I was cashing off another customer and abruptly said is there anyone else who can make my coffee otherwise we will just go. . I apologised to the lady whom I was serving at the time and made my chef stop cooking so she could make this biarch's coffee.When she came up to pay I apologised to her and explained about how I was on by…Continue

It’s another December 24th, and once again, I know where I’m scheduled to be tonight. People are heading home from their shortened work days and maybe some office parties, possibly making a last-minute mall stop, and I’m slowly getting ready to go to work for the evening. No matter where…

In October 2009, I worked the bar of a private party at the old home that was once leased and lived in by actress Jean Harlow in the late 20′s and early 30′s, on 512 N. Palm Drive, a several block street sitting between Sunset and Wilshire. This was her last residence before…

Bartenders and Waiters today are taking their jobs more professionally and seeing it as a true and honest working career, which in my case behind the bar includes the practice of creative mixology as culinary art. Management and ownership want it to be perceived in just that way in hopes of…

I used to work for a big franchised restaurant chain and we were doing some market research to improve guest satisfaction. This got me excited because I have my opinion of what makes a good server but this was an opportunity to find out what the market research results would show from the following…
