Fountain Pen Girl’s Inkwell

why?

At my new job, I am expected to handle printer/copy machine issues such as changing toner, fixing jams or calling in maintenance issues.  I am basically at the low end of the food chain so to speak.  But hey, it’s not serving, so I don’t complain… much.  BUT… when I get a call that says the printer is flashing and could I go check it out… and I go check it out… and the screen on the printer says “tray 2 empty” I get a little miffed.  People are either lazy or stupid… either way, they are getting paid more than me and have better job security as I am a temp.  That makes me mad.  That is my rant for the day.

WT

okay… so last night i had a wt table (white trash)… we try to be polite at work when we’re talking about them.

they annoyed me from the very beginning.  first… they sat on the same side of the booth.  that annoys me.  second, he ordered for her.  that annoys me.  third… he was so proud that he ordered “everything” yet he forgot the potato.  he had to ask her what potato and she just chose what he had.  mashed, for those of you wondering.  third, he ordered his porterhouse (a 25+ dollar steak) WELL DONE.  and she had the strip, well done.  well they also ordered an appetizer, which came out fine.  then i stopped by to fill up their waters, saw they were almost done with their appetizer and was about to ask them if they were ready for their salads, when the FINE gentleman says to me “can you bring out my salad, i don’t want to eat it with my steak.”  to which i replied “well, i haven’t even put your order in yet, so that won’t happen, but if you are ready for your salads, i will bring them out.”  so i brought their salads and waited to put in their stupid well done steaks.  i wanted to make sure they had enough precious salad time.  so they finished their salad and 15 minutes later, their steaks came out.  nice and charred.  i asked if they needed anything else and the FINE gentleman replied (picture a hick accent here) “nope we got our A-1 so we’re just FIIIINNNNE!!”  i should add that his steak wasn’t completely bone dry in the middle, so he hesitated when i asked him if it was cooked to his liking… but he said it was eventually.  so i went back later to see if things were still fine and their A-1 bottle was upside down… so i asked if they needed more.  they enthusiastically stated they did.

that is the epitome of a white trash table.  oh and they left me 6 on 53.  which is a LOT more than i was expecting.

seriously….

for all you people who go out to eat in a restaurant where people are waiting on you…..

it is not the server’s fault if the restaurant is out of something. it is not the server’s fault if the last time you were there, the restaurant was out of the same thing. it is not the server’s fault if the menu lists an item incorrectly. it is not the server’s fault if the restaurant changes soda brands and doesn’t change the menu. it is generally not the server’s fault if your steak comes out wrong. so don’t take it out on the server… okay? this happened to me this evening with just one table. all of it. feel sorry for me please.

stupid people

ok… if people are so inept at their job, that it affects other people making money, they should not be allowed to work in the position they are in. for example, if the hostess at work doesn’t know how to host properly and therefore i make 6 dollars, she should not be allowed to host. stay tuned…. i am sure there will be more stupid people posts at a later date
