I could've sworn I posted in this one, but apparently not. Weird. (maybe it was one of my TFP dreams. Yes, I have them.)
Sheesh, you all have great jobs. I'm a server & bartender for a corporate restaurant. I get drinks, refill drinks, take orders, deliver food, bus tables, roll silverware, clean up after people, entertain children, laugh at lame jokes, mix & pour adult beverages, make tea, wash dishes, smile at everyone, explain how coupons work (or don't work), refill salt & pepper shakers, judge levels of intoxication, chat about things I have no interest in whatsoever, chat about things I'm entirely too dorky about, smile some more, stock the beer well, tip out everyone on my staff that isn't also a server or a cook (usually), and basically treat everyone who comes into my general vicinity as if they're the best thing that's happened to me all day & bust my ass to make sure they have an enjoyable meal.
It's really not that bad of a gig. Flexible hours, fast pace (usually), and if the tips are good, worth it. I don't plan on doing it for the rest of my life, but it works for now.
