It was cold today. So very, very friggin' cold.
My first day back at work sucked a lot of balls. I guess my new attitude towards the ridiculous amount of responsiblities they give me is apathy. Everybody will just have to wait until I can get to them.
Long Story Time
Think Mark is cheap? I had a table today come in and try to use 3 coupons. It says explicitly on the coupons that they can only use one per table per visit. This dude comes in and says that since his wife and him and his mom are on different tickets, this does not apply. He proceeds to order two free appetizers. Fine, douche. Do that. His food takes 30 minutes, as does everybody elses because we're that backed up. He complains to my manager, and Erin being the nice person she is, buys their entire dinner for them. End of story? No.
The dude then says, "Well, if she's buying it..I'll take a couple margaritas and she'll have a Strawberry Daiquiri." I looked at him for a sec...then went and got him his drinks. They drink them and finish their meal, and then decide that they want a couple desserts, too. My manager, of course, bought all of this food for them too. They left me $3 on a bill that would've been at least $65. This does not even cover the amount I pay out to my tip-share.
Bottom line: Coupon-cutting poor people should stay out of fine restaurants.
I just realized how unlikely it is that any of you will read that story. Well, whatever. I wouldn't wanna read your boring-ass story either.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that would've made me feel a lot better I think. Probably would've lost my job...but that wouldn't necessarily have been a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteLone Star is a nice restaurant?
ReplyDeletebesides...i'm not cheap...i prefer the distinction of stingy...
ReplyDeleteside note...i would've definitely spat in that dude's drink for sure
