Waiting

If you've ever worked in a restaurant you know that different tasks mesh together and you have a lot going on all the time. It is busy and someones "extra ranch" on the side is easily forgettable.

I am super impatient. Not only am I impatient but I have a ridiculous sense of urgency.

It bothers the hell out of me when I walk up to a table and ask them if they are ready to order...and they say yes. Now, I'm sittin there and they continue to look at the menu and do a like "mmm" "ehhh" "hmmmm"...I thought you said you were "ready"...I know this seems terrible but other tables are looking at you pointing to their drink or you remember that person wanted more ranch and now you are stuck with this person who can't decide between fried shrimp or fried chicken (they're pretty much the same!)...

All I'm sayin is, I usually go above and beyond to appease my guests and help them have a great experience...that's why I make the money that I do...but there is just something about when people take forever ordering food that my toes curl.

I guess that's the longest time you really have to spend with a table though.


Oh well. At least I have a job.
