Anytime someone came in speaking in a British accent, we all ducked for cover. Europeans also tip 10%. hehehe ;-)<br /><br />But you do learn a lot about people doing this kind of job. I could memorize a lot of orders, but if somebody made any changes, I'd have to resort to writing it all down.<br /><br />Fun times... <br />:-)Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732006129353079344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748612821639612993.post-14529733723177124072009-12-07T07:09:09.629-08:002009-12-07T07:09:09.629-08:00Jason: You are so right.

(Twice I had to coach an adult through the menu while I pretended that I didn't realize they couldn't read it.)<br /><br />2. Military men tip 10%. If they tip more they usually tell you where their hotel is.<br /><br />3. Outback is big on the rodeo circuit. Fortunately, the rodeo only came to town once a year.<br /><br />But the best thing was the surpises. I took a wedding party that no other server would touch just because somebody had to do it. Honestly, who has a <i>wedding</i> function at an Outback? Nobody who knows how to tip, that's who. So after getting laughed at in the kitchen for an hour, cleaning up spilled drinks and a bottle of ketchup, and bussing the tables for the party of about 30 since no other server or busboy would go near it, I got a $50 tip on a bill that came in just under $200. $50 for an hour an a half. Not too shabby for a waitress!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120847492230531939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748612821639612993.post-4090070859655988102009-12-07T05:41:41.979-08:002009-12-07T05:41:41.979-08:00Made me smile. :)
Yes, most un-jerklike of you. ...Made me smile. :)<br /><br />Yes, most un-jerklike of you. I imagine you had to deal with some real doozies at Outback (or anywhere).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
