People love their coffee. Sometimes, I seriously people might just fall off the world without it if they don't have some everyday.
Part of our dinner service is what we supply coffee throughout the duration of the party. Every so often our servers walk around with two, scolding hots pots of coffee and maybe get through two tables before a refill is needed.
Serving coffee, which may appear as a simple task, is actually one of the most annoying at my work.
People are so demanding and seriously lack common sense sometimes. At the last party I worked, I served coffee to nine people at a table that seated 10. After everyone who told me they wanted a cup got their coffee, I asked if everyone was good and the answer was yes.
Not even two minutes later, a lady walks over to me and taps me on the back telling me I didn't serve her coffee. This lady happened to be the tenth person at the table that I had just served and I clearly remembered her looking me in the eye and shaking her head no when I asked if everyone was good.
Her attitude towards me was unnecessary and rude. She acted as if I purposely ignored her, which wasn't the case.
Stuff like that happens every so often during every party that I've ever worked. People act as if coffee is a holy thing or something. At least be polite to your servers.
it all goes back to my view of us workers...the peoples mindset is, "oh these people work in food service, they are stupid"...thats just human nature...as for the slim people that are nice to you, i gaurentee they are lower middle class people who probably have worked as a waitress or bussed tables at some point in their life
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow restaurant worker, I've seen multiple cases of customers going bonkers too...go figure.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, HEY ASH!
ReplyDeleteSecond off, I wouldn't say I'm middle to higher class but I've never worked as a waitress/busser or anything with food services and I do not act that way. So I think it's a stereotype that it's "just human nature" and that the majority of the nicer people are "lower middle class" who've worked a similar job. That was just kind of rude...just like the woman Ashley wrote about...
to defend myslef, I do not mean to sound rude or negative towards society. More or less its just my viewpoint. But seriously, its everywhere. In todays soceity, who gets more respect...a doctor or a bus boy?....It seems bad yes, but its a fact of reality. Not saying everyone thinks that, it is nice to know that you are different. But the majority of American opinion would claim someone who works in food service, "Stupid"
