I have worked in a restaurant from the age of 16, starting off as hostess to server, to cocktail and bartender. I currently am a banquet captain at a fine dining restaurant downtown and I've waited on everyone from jerry jones to kim kardashian. Ill post later when I can think of stories but until then you all need to you tube Bon Qui Qui by Anjelah Johnson. Its a skit that she did on Mad tv i think and for all of you who have worked in the service industry would appreciate it.
Oh! Now that I think of it..
I was a closer one night recently. It was on a friday night so I got out about a little after 1 am. I live 30 minutes away from where I work. I really wanted Taco Cabana breakfast tacos when I got off and the one by my house isnt 24 hour. So I stop at one about half way home which is 24 hour, and its not in the best part of town but its right off the highway so its not out of my way. I pull up to the window and if you watch that video on you tube, this is who is taking my order. Of course Im polite because I know what its like to be treated like crap in the service industry. I order a small dr.pepper and 2 potato egg and cheese breakfast tacos. She replies with " you want 4 dr. peppers and 2 breakfast tacos?" No just 1 dr. pepper and 2 tacos. Silence... "Hold on let me see if were serving breakfast.." At this point I got irritated. I had a horrible night at work, I really wanted breakfast tacos, my boyfriend was being a jerk off and I just wanted to eat and get in bed. 5 minutes later.." ok whatchu want?" I respond.. I want 1..just 1 dr pepper and 2 potato egg and cheese tacos. About a minute of silence.. then she continues to repeat my order to me two or three times with different numbers of drinks and tacos. Then she comes back with "hold on let me see if were serving breakfast" So she leaves the intercom on and I hear her talking to the people who were making the food "This white bitch is making this so complicated, white bitch this white bitch that..." Oh I was livid.
She finally got my order right and I drive up to the window and she was all nice and hiiii how are you, girl i like your nails.. blah blah blah. I get my food (now Im not even hungry because Im pissed off and Im sure they did god knows what to it). I paid, and right before she said have a good night i go, This white bitch heard you. Next time turn your mic off honey. And drove off.
I was like are you kidding?! I tried to bite my tongue and I did for the most part but I was like come on!
