We're all in this dinner rush together..... If we don't keep ourselves going...no one is
going to do it for us. So as you're rushing around taking the dinner orders of those who like to
re-write the menu, and taking care of the needs (oh, the many needs) of the one's at your next
table over.....who think they are the only one's in the restaurant (somehow the noise of a full
restaurant is lost on them...I'm sure many things are lost on them) and above all the noise, you
clearly (painfully) hear the chef yelling for a runner!!!!! and then manager is telling you to
refill drinks, (you were already aware they needed refilling) and were in fact on your way to do
that along with gather bread for the pigs at table 52 and also two salads for table 42....oh
that's right I also need to get extra salad dressing for table 62....so altogether I need....two
pepsis, a diet pepsi with lime, which makes for an extra stop at the bar, for the damn lime....a
water pitcher....(take a quick look around...where the hell's the water pitcher....) bread for
four at 52...better bring 2 dipping oils...they're pigs......a house salad (no cucumbers) and a
caesar for 42......get the extra dressing for 62.....okay, they have everything else they need
for right now.....okay....62 is good....52 is dripping oil off o their chins...they're
good......42..still on salads....Oh shit!I gotta ring their order in.....okay, that's taken care
of...oh shit! I forgot about 41! Whew....still drinking coffee....all cashed out....go to the
kitchen to get something to drink.....as soon as you swing that door open- break out in a
motivational song....."IIiiiiiiii..wanna rock and roll...all niiiiiight...and party ev e ry
day!!!!!!!!!!boomboomboomboomboomboom....IIIiiiii...wanna...rock and roll.....(gotta love KISS
for this song!)
Anna joins in!!!! (Anna is this hyper-feisty petite 40 year old Italian woman who should not be
allowed to drink caffeine, oh relax..she's reading this right now) Okay one more time!!!!!!!!
IIIiiiiii...wanna rock and roll...all niiiiiiiigttttt........
You have not seen the true meaning of this song until you've seen me and Anna (both, definitely
over the average age of a server) rock this one out in the kitchen. Uh-huh. oh, it's okay, you
can lol....it's all the show was meant for. It's also a good tension relieving exercise.
Okay...back out on the floor now....

Just for the record, I am not a special needs guest. The most I ever do is ask to have one item left out. I could never do your job, somebody would get smacked. daily. I mean it. I have zero patience for people who think they are that important.
