10 Things Every Restaurant Employee Has Heard

Have you ever worked in the restaurant business, either as a hostess or server? If so, here is a list of things every server and hostess has heard, and how they have or would like to react.

1. "Do you have a vegan/vegetarian/gluten free menu?"

"No, ma'am/sir, I'm sorry, we do not. If you are interested in a selection, though, we have multiple options on our menu such as salads, past-" "So you don't have a separate menu?"

2. "Can we have a table with a view?"

Yes, it is 6:00 on Saturday night and you don't have a reservation. Let me just tell Bob, who made a reservation 3 weeks ago, that you get his table because you think you're the Queen of England.

3. "We have 10 people, but don't have a reservation."

"Okay, ma'am, is the lounge okay? Everything in our dining room is reserved for the evening." "No, we'll wait for the dining room. How long?" "About 2 hours." "Forget it, we're not waiting that long."

4. "12 for outside, one table."

"I'm sorry, but we cannot accommodate 12 people at one table due to the umbrellas at each table." "Well we can fit 12 chairs around that corner table." **Ends up using that table, plus 2 more, and turning the umbrellas sideways.**

5. "I would like it if you joined me for dinner tonight."

"Sorry, I'm kind of busy working, and you're a creepy 60 year old man."

6. "We're just gonna take a look around."

**Seats themselves at a table that has a reservation in 30 minutes, and REFUSES to move."

7. "Can I get the Chef's Salad with no cheese, egg, tomato, cucumber, croutons, or onions?

"So you want lettuce in a bowl?"

8. "I'd like to see a manager, please."

**Goes on about how terrible the food was, but ate all of it, and STILL demands a full refund.

9. "What's better to drink with this, a Manhattan or glass of wine?"

"I have heard that wine is better, but I'm not 100% certain because I'm not 21." "You're not answering me, what do you like better with it?" **mind blown**

10. "We're never coming back here, again."

**whole restaurant celebrates**

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
