  • Crappy Services Rendered This Week

    So, I understand the food service patrons are not always great. Sometimes, it's the server's fault.

    Ryan's

    So, we walk in, chick says,"Hey! You got your sandals at Hot Topic!" Why yes, I got them for $2 there. We get seated, she brings drinks.

    Boyfriend and I get a plate and wait on our rolls. They never came.

    She swooped by us seven times before she refilled Boyfriend's drink. I NEVER got a refill in the hour we were there.

    Five plates later, Boyfriend is receiving drink refills from random-lady. Not me, though. Nope.

    Three more plates later, I am having dessert and want coffee. None is offered.

    Boyfriend asked what is a normal tip for bad service? I swatted his hand for wanting to leave $2. I reminded him how he never got his rolls (main reason he wanted to go) and we never got coffee with our dessert (second main reason, aside from the food).

    We left a penny, and left an unhappy service/wonderful food comment card.

    (EDIT: I did try to hail her down, asked another server, and nothing came of it.)


    Locally Owned Chinese Place

    We are seated at 3, the time after the church crowds when the food is usually freshened and the servers rested.

    Not so, today.

    There was very little on the buffet, so Boyfriend and me grab one plate and sit to wait. 20min. later we hear the waitresses talking about how there's nothing else coming out.

    Great.

    That tiny old Chinese lady running around wiping down the bar, who normally orders what food to cook? Refuses to acknowledge me. (and most of it was super-greasy somehow..)

    The waitress? Busy talking to her other waitress buddies about who they screwed this morning/will later and what flavor Sonic shake they like best.

    Drink refills? Had to hail down a random other-worker.

    Take our plates? Not a one.

    Again, a negative tip occurs. >_<



    I really hate doing that, but damn.. do your job!



    RANDOM HELPFUL HINT OF THE WEEK:

    Sent to my vblog's Facebook, on which I basically tell my customer/freaky life stories with facial expressions and hand gestures.

    "dude u need to liten up....... if ur havin a bad day neway u need to kepe it home..... I DONT WANT NO ONE CRAPY SERVISING MY FOOOD NEEDS"

    "You really should lighten up, Unholy Pet. You take everything way too seriously."

    My reply was generally a," Well, these are culminated over five years of work. I only post the worse ones, or just use a colorful hand motion to express my upsetness. I'm actually quite laidback, I just work so many hours to see these folks! hehe!"

    And they return with," Maybe you should get married and have a child? That might calm down your anger issues!"

    Wtf..

          /bg brother and his wife divorced about 9 years ago. She got custody and moved with the 3 kids to Oregon, so brother does not get to see them very often end bg/

          The kids were down visiting this week. Brother wanted to take the kids to a shooting range for target practice. The kids are all about 10-11 yo, and plenty old enough to shoot while supervised (brothers and I started at 6 yo). DH and I offered to take them to a friend's ranch where said friend has a western town set up and holds competitive shoots on a regular basis, so a huge range is already set up, and we would not have to worry about anybody else doing any cross-firing. We had the place pretty much to ourselves.

          I was amazed how patient brother was being with the kids! I personally have very little patience, myself! The kids were very well behaved, and I was quite impressed! Brother told DH and me that the kids' mother and grandpa were back at the motel enjoying a day of peace and quiet, while the kids got to run Daddy ragged. Brother has had the kids for only three days, and I can see he's already getting frazzled. As much as he loves his kids, I think he'll breath a (very small) sigh of relief on Friday when they head back north.
          Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

            Oh, the rapture.

            Nothing ever good comes out of reading comments on a blog. Ever.

            At some point I want to build an auto-erase gizmo that seeks comments written like an epileptic sea cow is giving birth while keeping paws on the keyboard and deletes them with "This comment was infected with Stupid, and was quarantined to remove the spread of the infection" along with a kind, generous personal message providing the commentor with information on both family planning and voluntary sterilization - then give it gratis to every vblog owner out there.
