The Bad Restaurant

Working in the restaurant business can be interesting and complex. Sometimes humor is needed to keep yourself sane. The following are some signs that you are eating in a bad restaurant.

Walls are covered in framed health code violations
coffee isn't bottomless, but your busboy is
All you here from the kitchen...here kitty, kitty
The cook just washed his hands..in your soup
Waitress asks"would you like ti hear about our selection of half eaten meals"?
They proudly display a collection of stomach pumps
You complain about a dirty fork, your waitress licks it and then gives it back to you
You order the special of the day and the kitchen staff starts laughing
Waiver of liability form inserted in every menu
Instead of handicap parking spaces there are ambulance only parking spaces
You're waitress is nicknamed "Typhoid Mary"


If any of these are present RUN

Thoughts

Sometimes little things bug a person and i am one of those that has a ton of things that bug me. Here are a couple of them.

The Art of the Sandwich! I just want to know when a sandwich was done only in a wrap format. The other day i made a sandwich special at work[i am a restaurant worker after all], it was a Monte Cristo, which is swiss cheese and Ham in between 2 pieces of french toast. Most of the people that ordered it had no idea what it was and wanted to know if they could have it in a wrap! Unbelievable. I mean where are all the good sandwiches gone, the Reuben for one is almost non existent. If it is not a submarine sandwich than they want a wrap. Bring back the sandwich,please.

If it ain't current i don't want to hear it! Now i like modern music and i listen to many of the current acts, but i also listen to the older stuff as well, but lately i am finding that a lot of younger people find anything older than 5 years old to be ancient and no longer valid. One comment i got from an employee of mine was that "old" music was history and nobody likes history at his age!!WHAT.

Anyway that is just a few things on my mind so until later, have a nice day!

Thought of the day for april 7

Joy like the dandelion,
crops up when least expected
and often where not sought
