As waiters and waitresses, we've all thought this a time or two. I mean lets be honest...

1. "Did I ever put in my table's order?"

2. "I can't believe I have to tell my table we're out of fries."

3. "Yes your peach unsweet tea is really unsweet. The peach flavor is a sweetener."

4. "Are you actually gluten-free or you just think it's healthier and like to be difficult?"

5. *Customer leaves a kind note on the receipt/tells manager*

"I'm never quitting, I love food service and my job."

6. *Customer leaves a hateful note on the receipt/ tells manager*

"I'm done and can't wait to leave this place."

7. "I'm your server...not your servant."

8. "Yes loading your potato costs extra, are you kidding me?"

9. "I really don't mind scribbling out what you ordered while I'm standing here, but don't change your order 5 minutes later when your food is halfway done..."

10. *Customer asks if they can order another drink*

"Well we've been closed for 20 minutes so no."

11. *Assigned another table*

"It's fine, I'm already seating half the restaurant anyway."

12. "You ate the buffet, are you really asking for a to-go box?"

13. "Who's table is that?!"

14. *Group of 10+ friends walk in 20 minutes to close*

15. *Smells something identical to the kitchen at work somewhere outside of work*

16. Coming back to your table and seeing that someone already refilled their drinks*

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.
