This year I am NOT waiting tables on V.D. It is pure Hell. I have agreed to host and bus tables though. If you have ever waited tables on V.D. you know the horror. You get people who 1) NEVER eat out accept on V.D. 2) or never been to a family-owned, fine dining restaurant, so they expect 20 different people to come by their table while they are eating. Dumb.

Last year’s experiences:

– One lady said I would have been better suited to work at Chucky Cheese.

– Another girl (who was with her boyfriend) left me a note on the receipt that said I could have been more attentive. They ordered a meal and water. No wine, no desserts (even though I asked repeatly). I guess she wanted me to come over and ask her how her ‘water’ was every 5 minutes.

– Another lady was upset that I didn’t ‘ask questions’. Whatever that means. Apparently people think a waiter is a psychitrist.

I think the franchise restaurants have spoiled people, they focus on attentivness and less on product. This shit bugs me. I want a beer and my food, and I want to enjoy the company I’m with when eating out. Stop asking me questions, I have been to a restaurant before, if I want something, I’ll ask. That’s why I like Sushi Masa, the food is ALWAYS great, but the server’s aren’t always ‘Attentive’ that’s fine with me – keep it up.

V.D. Advice to my single friends:

Always breakup with a girl before Christmas and get back together after V.D., you will save a TON of money.
