done

Tuesday double. Usually a pretty laid back day. I started out in the bar. That got a little pop! But I only had four tables and made maybe $10. Yesterday and today I've gotten some funny men at my tables, real jokesters. Today the guy was just joshing about the lottery, he wanted me to bring him the winning ticket! Yesterday the man told me that I seemed real smart and he wanted me to help him with a problem: he was driving on one of these Florida roads when a crane flew right in front of the car. He didn't have time to stop and so he hit the bird. The bird rolled right over his car and onto the car behind him, breaking that car's front window. Well, that car was a sheriff's police car. The officer was livid, he pulled the man over and wrote him a ticket for flipping him the bird. ...

Talking about being livid, tonight sucked. I balled like a baby I was so upset we ruined a little girl's birthday. Her parents got livid after it took so long to be sat, it took forever to get the food out, they wanted all their desserts to go so that took forever. The food that came out the first time was over cooked. I felt so horrible for this family. A manager gave them a $30 gift card, which they used, but still ended up paying another $30 for this horrible birthday celebration. We ruined the poor girl's birthday!

What makes it worse is that this happened right after I got a huge complement from another guest telling my manager how awesome I was and starting an applause for me with his party of six (oh yes I was blushing!).

At the end of the night, while I was doing my side work, I heard about one of our servers leaving. He was scheduled a double today too, but he didn't come back from his break. Then I finally get to talk to the manager who does the schedules. I told him to take me off next week's schedule because I got a new job. I hate to do that to them. The last thing he said was that he lost two server in the same day, they can't hire them fast enough. That sucks! I feel horrible for the gm, she came to a crumbling restaurant and now its just falling to pieces around her. 

I feel a since of freedom now that I quit this job, and at the same time I feel really bad for not sticking to it and helping make it better. Though, I don't think I really could and I'm not giving my best service at this place, its not possible when others aren't doing their job. I think its for the best. No more driving in traffic, no more stressing out (at least not to the same intensity), and I get to start new, make new friends!

That was my last double at this restaurant!!!
