Things You Hear And See While Working In A Restaurant

We hear annoying things in our everyday lives, but nothing as annoying as working with the public in a restaurant. Yes, we all ask and do these things while going out to eat. However, when actually working, it makes us want to rip our hair out. Are you one of these types of customers?

1. Where is the restroom?

Well, over there, there is a big sign that says "restroom" lit up in red. That is where the restroom is, but thanks for asking!

2. Can I seat myself?

Sign next to the hostess stand: "Please wait to be seated." Therefore, the answer is no.

3. What is on the ____ sandwich?

The host gave you a menu. It should tell you right under the sandwich section.

4. Can I sit some where else so I am able to see the TV?

I guess, but just so you know, you're messing up everyone's system, and we will all think you're annoying.

5. What do you usually tip?

I can't tell you that because I want more money than you are probably going to leave me. So, you make that choice.

6. Should I get a salad, or should I get a hamburger?

Even though I would love to listen to you decide what you want among all the choices on the menu, I don't have time, so hurry up, and make your decision.

7. "Insert some annoying way to get my attention for me to get you something."

Shaking your glass at me to get you more water, or snapping your fingers at me will not make me come to your table any faster. I will probably take more time now to come to you. Nice try though!

8. We're coming in about 6:30 p.m. Will you be busy?

I can't tell the future.

9. "Insert loud obnoxious chewing/eating."


Sir/Ma'am, did your parents ever teach you how to eat?

10. Is water free?

Are you really that cheap?

11. Can you wipe my table again?

Ugh. I already wiped, sprayed, cleared, disinfected your table, what else more do you want?

We are guilty, but let's all just take a moment to laugh about it. Next time you go out to eat, see how many of these questions you hear people ask.

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.
