Worst day of 2011 so far-

Whose ready for some venting?

Well today was what I like to call a "Murphy's Law" kind of day- everything that could go wrong DID go wrong...Oh how lovely and awesome degrading and disheartening it felt. This is why my blog has it's name 

Problems:

1. I applied for a beauty consultant job for extra work in the summer (but really I wanted to get out of the negative environment that was the Steakhouse) I did not get the job---because i didn't seem to want to put their company first 'even though I took off work that night at the steak house, how nice----$60 bucks down the drain for them. So I did what any crazy, in debt up to my knees girl would do, I wrote her an email back explaining to her my frustrations, that didn't go over so cute, the beauty consultant called me dramatic (this is true most of the time) and unprofessional, I lost my shit for an hour.
2. I got ready for my first "food running" shift at the steakhouse tonight I had to be there at 6:00pm, I got ready all cute, styled my hair, did my make up fancy and dressed in all black. I walked in come to find that the GM says "Hey you're hosting tonight!" I just about punched him in the face, I said what----why? He then went on cowardly and told me to go to the back office to talk to Heather the other manager about my plans for tonight, haha---how stupid do these people think I am, So I get in the back and Heather tells me awkwardly while looking down at a piece of computer paper that the manager who is leaving in 25 days wrote me up for being a AWFUL server----even though that night the table who claimed I was so terrible kept reassuring me they were okay and tipped me 20% and the table in front of them had heard this manager talking to that table and said in front of that manager that  I was the best server they have ever had, was that in the write up report NOPE~~~ hahah Oh boy corporate america you make me sick. I get that it's a business and I shouldn't take this personal but when you were treated with disrespect since day one in a place you worked at it was hard not to feel that way. 

All that being said, please pray for me to find a job ASAP, my debt is growing and so is my stress.

Pains of a Server

Now that I serve--

I have learned that people can be cruel, selfish, disgusting, greedy, cheap. I know I should know this by now in life and I do. BUT- never have I seen it through the eyes of a server until today. Today was my thirds serving shift and I got, stiffed on a check of $48.00, tipped $2 on a $80.00 check and all of my tables were needy.

Y'all know I like etiquette so here it comes:


If you are going out to eat...
* Make sure you can afford the tip
* Make sure you are polite
* Know that your server is serving because they need money
* If you have a problem with your server to not lash out- ask for the manager
* ALWAYS at least tip 15% unless they were a completely horrible server
* If you are going to go out and not tip at least 15% just don't come out it will affect your service if you come back in the future (servers look out for each other)


Sorry for the Rant- but all weekend I have been serving and have just seen a terrible side of people to where it makes my stomach sick.


I am going to catch up on Church videos

Have a blessed Sunday!
