Well, here it is. My first step into the world of blogging. Just the word blog conjures up the image of some unshaven hipster vegan sipping a double vente soy whateverthefuck latte in a Starbucks corner typing away about some new "art" exhibit on his brand new MacBook that his parents (whom he is unappreciative of, no doubt) bought for him...aka a good chunk of the people I hate. I can assure you I am none of the above. In fact the only reason I am here is to help my fellow server by informing the public about who we are and what we do. If you are easily offended or cringe at the sight of poor spelling and run on sentences, turn back now.
You see, being a waiter isn't the easy job most people would simplify it to be. There is a lot going on in our heads. It requires an INSANE amount of multitasking and remembering. Being multilingual is a must (not only should you know basic scraps of spanish, we have our own language too). You need to be able to take a verbal beating from not only your boss, but your guests (customers) as well. And all the while you need to have a constant smile on your face, a spring in your step, and a seemingly positive outlook. Suffice it to say, it is not a job for everyone.
So my purpose here is to write about the different things and problems that go on in a waiters day to day struggle to pay bills, make rent, and fuel our necessary alcohol addictions. And whenever I deem appropriate, I'll probably throw in another unrelated rant here and there.
And as usual: We hope to see you again!
