After Work Thoughts (Don't be an ass)

Dear future customers, past customers, anyone going to be a customer in a restaurant soon, don't be an ass. If your server or bartender goes out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful experience, buys you a couple drinks maybe, makes sure that you are their first priority, don't be an ass. Don't be annoyed about how much the wine you ordered costs. If you know there are two Chardonnay wines on the menu and you order the Chardonnay not specified, I think you mean the better one. If you mean house white say house white. If you did not specify what wine to pour you do not complain about being charged three dollar extra for a glass that you have already have downed. It's fine all and all its not my personal money that has to be refunded to you, it's the restaurants. Though it makes me look like a bad worker when I have to refund 10$ to you from the glasses that you drank. Then please do not let me hear you talking to another one of my coworkers about how unhappy you are without telling me first. Just makes me think twice about putting you first or being willing to take care of you.

I feel like people sometimes think that servers can read their minds. I can not, I did not developed psychic abilities when I got my servers license. So please say what you mean and be specific, do not wait until the end to complain about something that you don't like, do not say you are OK with something when you are clearly not. Then decide to tip me awfully because something was wrong with the food or drink or service and you didn't say anything to my face. It's OK to not want to hurt my feelings, I would just rather know you are unhappy and try to save the tip and the experience than you never coming back.

Blueberry Pancakes of Patience

I realize being a parent has taught me a great deal of patience. I had always thought of myself as a very easy going person, then I had two not so easy going toddlers trying to wreck every fun time I try to create. I say that in the most lighthearted way that I can. Children can be fun suckers and the moment you try to do anything slightly structured and fun with them they fight, or whine, or throw things and ruin it. I never realized how short my temper was for things like that until I became a mom. Now I feel like every other day is a battle of will power between my kids and I. Today I woke up in a fantastic mood with a great idea of making homemade blueberry pancakes. Easy recipe, I had all the ingredients, I love to cook so I thought that this could be a fun activity to share with the kids. Sure I knew we'd get a little messy, I also knew things wouldn't go to plan but all and all I felt that it would go well. That was until we actually started making the mix, every other

12/8/18 complaints

Woke up a less accomplished mom today. No energy to feed the children more than yogurt and fruit. I wonder where the me that was energetic playful and productive mom went? Maybe it's the fact that the only alone time i get is so late in the evening and I woke up a different person? Maybe I woke up realizing that I have to work today set the mood. It is a soul sucking job being a server sometimes. I feel like i never saw myself doing it for more than a few years. Ten years later I am still in the industry seeing the same people daily, doing the same repetitive tasks. Asking people how they are? When they don't care how I am. "Fine how are you?" is the programmed response. Instead of telling them, "I am awful, tired covered in ranch and bbq sauce, my feet are tired,my head hurts from not being able to sleep. And I hate this job." But I just smile and take their order, making people feel important is flashing in my face on the computer screen, such a laugh when
