The waitrising experience

So, I am a waitress.
Tip number 1: Kids and rice don't mix, so, when you take a plate to the table, keep it VERY far away from the kids otherwise you will have a hell of a mess to pick up.

Tip number 2: Smile. It gives you more tips, lots and lots of tips.

That's enough for today.

The best tip I have gotten so far was from a drunk guy.

He came into the restaurant, wanted a fried tilapia. That is the most time-consuming meal we have. Worst of all it was frozen. He kept bugging me about his food. I kept telling him, it's almost ready. It. Is. Almost. Ready. But he kept being annoying. Have you ever had a mexican man hiss at you because they want your attention? Well, he kept doing that. I HATE when men do that. I don't know how I didn't end up yelling at him.
So, his food arrived.
He ate.
He got up.
He wanted to pay.
It cost 11.something.
He only had a 10 and an 100.
He paid with the 100.
I only had 60 worth of twenties.
I needed one more.
I said, "wait a sec I owe you a twenty"
He said, "no it's okay"
I said, "Are you sure? It's a TWENTY"
He said, "No its okay" and walked away.
That day I made 20 dollars worth of tips on a table of one.

About Me

My photo
I am a weird girl that believes she is still a girl even thought she is almost 20. She can't spell. She loves to read and draw, like I said a few months ago, "when I grow up, I want to be an animator". Hopefully work for PIXAR, but I don't think that is going to happen, I might end up with Dream Works. I don't know what I want to do with myself. All I know is that I want to go to Ex'pression and get my BA in Digital Visual Media. (Yeah, try saying THAT 10 times).
