We're coming to the end of the year and everybody is making their year-end lists about all sort of stuff. Well, here's a list of shit that drives me crazy...
- Lazy-ass waiters that don't come in on time
- Pop-up BEO's
- People at weddings that ask for a second entree (are you f'in kidding me?)
- When the sales chick gives a discount that takes away money from my department (and reduces my waiters gratuities)
- Drunk jerk groomsmen that insist on our bartender giving them shots...ain't gonna happen buddy
- The laundry can't keep up with washing the friggin' napkins. Now I'm screwed
- Room Service guy stealing my salt & pepper shakers
- The boss breaking my balls about the payroll being too high this month (or any other month for that matter)
- No backup food ready for the buffet
- Hearing again, for the 5th time, from one of my waiters, "I need off...an emergency came up"
- 3 hour meetings with the GM
- Missing dinner with my family 'cause I get stuck at work

Sounds like you might need a change of pace, a new career? Working in the restaurant/ catering business as a banquet manager it never seems like the customers, wait staff and anyone else for that matter are ever nice. Long hours and hard work don't make for a glamorous career that's for sure. Ive come to love it though and need the drama! Thanks for giving us a way to rant and still keep our jobs:)
I just told my husband that when we decided to start a family that he would get his chance to put a bun in the oven every February. If it didn't happen in that month, we'd wait until the next year. Why you say? Well count forward nine months and where does that leave you? Thanksgiving. What happens after that? Six weeks maternity leave.
Hope next year is better (but I doubt much will change)
Can't wait to year your NYE stories
Happy New Year!
