So, if you don’t know, I am a waitress.
I deal with, so many different types of people and I have learned how to handle each kind of person.
I have had so many people that make my day a little brighter and then there are always those people that can easily bring me down.
No matter what, I always keep a smile on my face and give the customers the best service possible.
But I am ready to unleash all the thoughts I have built up for some of these customers.
So here it is, what servers want to actually say to you.
When I first walk up to the table and introduce myself:
What I say: Hello! My name is Maddie I am going to be taking care of you, can I start you off with anything else to drink other than water? Any appetizers?
What I want to say: Hi my dudes, let’s get this over with, c’mon what do you want to drink. Get a bottle of wine or something expensive.
When a customer asks me what exactly is on tap, or want to know every single kind of wine we have and what they all taste like:
What I say: *grabs drink list OFF THE TABLE IN FRONT OF THEM* here you are, I have a hard time remembering some of the drafts because we have newly featured ones all the time. Also, I can get you a wine recommendation if you would like.
What I want to say: Uh hello, the list is right in FREAKING FRONT OF YOU!!!!!!! Look at the list, and then ask me questions! K BYE.
When I come back with drinks and they ask me if I am going to bring out rolls:
What I say: Yeah, I can bring out some rolls! Would you like any appetizers or anything? Were we ready to order dinner?
What I want to say: *laughing* uhhhh you have been sitting here for a good three minutes please wait until I set your vodka soda down before asking about some crusty bread Tina. Thanks bye.
When a customer asks me what sides we have:
What I say: All of our sides are at the bottom of the menu, and we have mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, fries, mac and cheese, onion rings, etc.
What I want to say: READ THE MENU. THEN ASK QUESTIONS. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I bring out the rare steak the customer ordered and they complain:
What I say: I can take it back to the kitchen and we will get it fixed right away!
What I want to say: ARE YOU JOKING. If you didn’t want it mooing and running around your plate then you shouldn’t have ordered it rare!!!!!!! CMON!!!
When I bring out the bills and a customer jokes around and says "I thought you were paying!?":
What I say: *laughs and walks away*
What I want to say: HAHAHA YOU THOUGHT. ME? PAY? After making $3 an hour plus your sh*tty tip. Yeah right.
When a customer asks me if the tip is included:
What I say: No, it is not, you have to include that when you sign the slip! Thank you!
What I want to say: ……..are.you.joking? *starts screaming*
When I go the table for the last time and say goodbye:
What I say: Thank you so much for coming in, have a great night! Come see us again!
What I want to say: Alright get to moving, I want to go home. I hope you tipped me good, seeeeee yaaaa. Peace out my dudes.
So there it all is. I laid it all out there.
Those are just a few things that I want to say to servers but instead I keep a smile on my face and stay kind and nice. It takes A LOT of work to maintain a nice personality and put up with the handful of people that come through the restaurant I work at.
So there you all go, how I truly feel and what I want to say to you.
P.S. - I am really sorry if I have ever served you before. Lol. Don't take it personally. :)
