Worst Moments Of Working In The Service Industry

Now this may sound rude, and if you've never worked in the service you wouldn't understand. But honestly, people can be so rude, dumb, and ignorant all at the same time that it astounds me. And if you have worked in the service industry before, you'll understand all too well.

1. When they come in 5 minutes before closing and stay an hour later.

2. When the card doesn't go through the first time and the customer says "Guess it's free then!"

3. Customer: Can I have ___?

Employee: We don't serve that Sir.

Customer: Well when I was here last time you had it.

4. When you hold your hand out for the money and they throw it on the counter like they couldn't care less.

5. When they have a group of 16, no reservation, and get mad when you can't seat them right away.

6. When you tell them which receipt is theirs and which they need to sign, but they don't listen and try to correct you on which copy is which. (But in the end you still have to correct them.)

7. "Have a good night Sir!" *Silence*

8. When they take a tooth pick, then throw the wrapper on the floor right in front of you.

9. When the manager tells them the same exact thing you told them.

10. "Hold on, can I see the menu again? You charged me too much."

11. *Swipes card* "How about we add 2 of these on."

12. When some old bat that you don't even know tries to comment on your make up or appearance.

13. When they change their order 3 times, but it just means you get a free meal.

14. "What are your specials tonight?" They ask right as they ignore the specials sheet in their menu.

15. "Hi, how many tonight?" "Hello, how are you?" "Good, just 2 of you? *Silence*

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.

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.
