things your hostess wants you to know

1. Make sure your entire party has arrived

If one person walks in for a party of fourteen, I'm sorry but I can't seat you. No hard feelings but I'm not about to set your table unless everyone is here and accounted for.


2. I know you want a booth

I don't know why booths are so popular but everyone asks for them. Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to get a table, and it's not my fault. I'll try my best if you ask but most of the time please just be polite and don't get mad at me.


3. Stacking plates helps us a lot

Hosts and hostess are the ones that bus tables at my restaurant. During rush, it helps us out a lot when diners stack thier plates when they're done eating.


4. Your table is supposed to be sticky

Lately, have you gone to a resturant and your table's been sticky? Surprising, its supposd to be that way. Because of Covid-19, extra strength santizers are being used on surfaces and while drying, it can leave a sticky residue. So if you think your table is dirty, its the actual opposite.


5. No I don't know how long your wait time is

9/10 I'm just making up a random number. I'll tell you 15 minutes until you're seated, then act surprised when its 40 minutes. I cannot tell time and I cannot predict when the next table will be clear.


6. We seat tables on a rotation

Depending on how many waiters we have working that night, thats how many 'sections' the resturant gets split into. That way waiters have an opportunity to make money. So don't take it personally if I can't give you a window seat in section 1 but a table in the middle of the floor in section 3.


7. "I was a hostess too..."

Hearing these words make me so annoyed. Customers normally do this when I can't seat them where they want, so they try to explain my job for me. Like I know what I'm doing, and congrats on having the same job as me but please stop.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
