so i know a lot of you out there can relate. working in a restaurant sucks!! you get sucked into it by the talk of all of this good money that you're going to make, but it ends up being more of a headache than it's actually worth.
i'm a hostess in a nice restaurant, and just last night i can name 4 times that i got yelled at by either a server, a kitchen staff member, or a manager on duty. i especially wanted to kill the server!! we have outside seating when it's nice and warm outside.
so these two guys come into the restaurant and ask if they can sit at a table outside. i told them that a hostess would be with them in one moment and that we would seat them. they told me that they already had a table outside and that it was cleared off, but that one of the servers said that they had to come check in with a hostess. so i told him that was fine and i went ahead and let them sit there. what's the harm, right?
so this bitchy server had the balls to come up to me right after that and tell me that now it was going to make him look bad and that those guys were going to fill out a bad comment card on him, which he could get fired for. he totally overreacted, and it left me more pissed off than i was before. :mfinger: :sword: :gun: :bomb: and then when i talked to my manager about the whole situation, he just shrugged it off because he and that server go FISHING together and so they're good friends. this was no catastrophe, but good GOD if i wasn't fucking pissed off!!! :bonk:
 
i work at a restaurant too in the summers, and it's good money for me...

the way i've seen the hostesses get by is THEY are the bosses, they dictate who gets tables and who gets seated. i've seen hostesses boss customers and waiters around - pick up the attitude and run with it, see what happens
 
Wait right before the mgr starts cutting the floor, he's doing his sidework anticipating getting out, then triple seat him. Or during volume, skip him a few times.
 
oh quit whining. If some dick head server is giving you lip why dont you confront the bastard. Why go off complaining? This sounds like a simple situation that requires a simple solution. Take the guy into a back room and tell him never to insult you again, etc etc etc. Have some balls, darling.
 
I hate mcdonald i work there when i was 18, and i quit because they didnt pay good and i had to put up with manager bullshit and especially customer -
fuckin' rude bastards. i almost got in fight with one the manager because he had me doing alot shit at once and i told him i only have 2 hands, and he respond "well you have to work faster" and i told him "look you fat fuck, you think this shit is easy why dont you do it " ... and i quit !, mcdonalds SUCK BALLS! burger king anyone ? :mfinger:
 
I could never work in a restaurant for the simple fact i can't put up with peoples shit.I would closeline a whiney customer or manager ,and lay some beating's on fellow co-worker's. :thumbsup:
 
I know exactly how u feel. I work for a resturaunt that at first was a breath of fresh air. I get paid 6.50 and hour because I'm supposed to be a hostess, but I end up bussing for the most part. I've worked there since before christmas and I've only worked 4 host shifts becuase I'm "not trained in enough to work a shift by myself." but how the f**** am I supposed to be trained in when I don't get the hours and when I do the mng. take over?! Not only that, when I bus, the servers are supposed to tip me, but more often than not I bust my ass and get nadda zip nothing in my tip basket.So I'm quiting as soon as I get a better paying job. I applyed at wally world right after work today cuz they start u out at over $7 and u get a raise every 6 months. Not only that, they really need people and the work isn't that hard. Good luck with ur situation. I know how much crabby resturant workers can be and all I can say is hang in there, or if nothing changes, get out. It's not worth being miserable for a little bit of money at the end of the day. Bless!
 
that's good advice. i actually had a thing happen the other day that made it even worse! i ended up with some really bad news and i got so upset that i was hypervenilating (sp?) and crying and stuff. my managers called me into work and i told them that i would work the shift anyways b/c they needed somebody. i went to the bathroom and got a grip, came out and that night they were so sweet to me. the next night, however, my manager very plainly told me that they honestly weren't able to care and that life fucking sucks and that either way if i couldn't come into work that they would hire someone else. except i DID come into work!! and i DID do my job! but i know good and well that if it had been one of the OTHER hostesses that flirts with the managers all the time that had been so upset (as it has been in the past) that they would have bent over backwards to make sure that she was okay and that she was taken care of... that sucks!!!!
