Work
Was rushing from Alex’s emergency dentist appointment to make it to work on time. Made it at exactly 5. The other back waiter it always late…at least 15 minutes (do to other job) but still. I get there and usually there is nothing to do until 6. So I find something to do. I usually wipe all the water glasses stacked in the back because they are dirty with water spots, while this kid stands around eating popcorn from prior job and socialized with people, telling them things they don’t really care to hear. He finally comes out from the kitchen and starts complaining about his back hurting.
Today my back was killing me. I don’t know what is wrong with my back, but it usually is always hurting. Today it was so bad it kind of bothered me to breath. But I’m not one to complain when I have shit to do and money to make. So he asked if he could leave because his back hurt so much. I was like.. What ever go ahead (more money for me)
But I had to work twice as hard to clear, clean, and set all by myself. Like usual allll of the tables leave at the same fucking time. So I literally put as much shit on the tray, usually from three-four tables worth of shit at a time, and bring it to the kitchen. I worked my ass off tonight and all of the waitresses/waiters were mad, so was my manager. This kid has been asking for days off and calling in so much since I’ve worked there. Tonight I ended up making 72 bucks and he only got 12 for leaving at 7:30. I left at 10:15 and everyone told me to take a lot more than him. One waiter was so pissed he’s like “Shit, you worked your ass off, give him 5!” haha.
So tonight was pretty stressful but worth it! Now I can pay for my next payment for my class with just my tip and pay check from last week. It comes in handy working at a restaurant.
