last night

Apr 17, 2004 09:42

So yesterday I was in the best mood like EVER! Like I said girls I knew it was gonna come crashing down...

I had to work and at first it was fine, great. I was doing bar side and Dre had DR. The waitresses were being mean to Dre, so we switched. I think it was cuz she's not a usual Friday night girl, cuz they were like that to me at first but now I know they'd never say anything to me. So we switched and I ended up in the DR. So I was seating people and all the big booths and the round table were taken up. I had a party of 5 (haha the show. LOL And now that's ALL I think of with parties of 5)so I set them up in a booth with a chair at the end, that's what we do when we have a 5 and nothing else bigger to put them in. So this guy had been waiting with his son but the rest of their party wasn't there and at t spa we don't sit incomplete parties...lol you don't even know how many times we have to say that a night, unless you are Nick.

So I sit this guy and I was in the middle of setting up a table for people who were called and he calls me over. So I went over and he starts yelling at me telling me his table isn't good enough for him. He wants something more comfprtable. I show him that ALL the big booths and the round are taken up and that there isn't anything I can do for him and that I was sorry. Then he continues to flip out and tell me that he's been waiting for so long and that it's unacceptable. So I tell him that his whole party wasn't there and we don't seat incomplete parties and that he actually barely waited from the time his whole party came. I said this all in a wicked nice tone and it seemed the louder he got the quitier I got cuz I just wanted him to be quiet. As all this is going on the girls come up that I'm supposed to seat and they had to wait there I felt so bad. The guy continues on asking me if he can sit at a 4 person table on the wall. This would have been so much more uncomfortable, I told him so and he got really mad. So I just stood there as he was still like "there's nothing you can do?" I was like no sir, I am sorry. He just stands there for what seemed to be forever just looking around. There was like 1 table in the room I dono what he wanted me to do. The he says to me "well can you go get someone who KNOWS what they are doing?" Now that really pissed me off but I kept my nice tone and was like yes, sir. I wanted to say other things, but I didnt. I sat the poor girls who were waiting there and I said sorry they understood, but I still felt bad.

I went to the hostess station and I was gonna have Susie call Kathy, but then I realized the big booth in station 1 just needed to be cleaned. So I nicely went into the DR and asked them if they wanted that booth...something I so didn't have to do but I figured I'd be nice. So I ask them, the wife says to me "ISN'T THAT SMOKING?!?!" I kept this nice , sweet tone the whole time, I dono how but I did. haha. I said to her that Actualy both rooms are both smoking and non and that the booth was in the non smoking section. Then the husband and wife were conversing while I just stood there...these people really were jerks. They decided to take it. I grabbed their menus and walked in the other room. I told them it just had to be cleaned then I had to set it and I'd get them. Do you think they waited for me to set it?! NOPE! They just sat there and I had to set it with them there!!! GRR! I was so mad. I was at the hostess station and when I explained the whole story to Susie I just started crying. I don't know why I did. I NEVER cry at work. I usually just hold it in and think to myself how stupid the people are. But that didn't happen. So yeah I felt like a loser for crying. Haha it was bad. SOO wanted to quit last night...that's the second Friday in a row!!

Right after that this lady told me how beautiful my hair was! That was sweet. Then later on some guy gave me a tip haha! I refused then he told that I work hard and I need to get rewarded for that! aww what a nice guy. Bill kept trying to get me to be happy all night but that didn't go so well. We talked. :-)

I can't wait to work again today! :-\ I need a t spa break SOO bad! NEXT week Im working so much too...this is bad. Mon 4-9, Wed 5-12, Thurs 5-10, Fri 5-11, Sat 2-11. ugh!
