servER not servANT

what shows your true charachter is not how you treat superiors. but how you treat those you consider to be lesser than you


i havent found this statement to be more true then in the last...what...5 months of my life.
whats so significant about those 5 months you ask? i've been a server. granted. its not as long as alot of people in the "biz" but its enough to say that it really sucks sometimes.

but hey. on the contrary. there are the handful of people that make my day worthwhile. to prove that there are people in the world that actually have the decency to treat someone as an equal

I mean seriously? is being a waitress really that low? its not like im rummaging through garbage getting through life from bringing in my cans for nickles, washing off peoples windows at stop signs and lets face it. at least im not in the fast food buisness. so why treat me like im some scum that emerged from the earth soley to beg and do funny little tricks for your money

if people went around and treated everyone they met on the street like some people treat servers. they would get trampled and punched in the head pretty fast. so what makes people think they can do it to me in my restraunt.
i dont come to your place of buisness and patronize what you do. i dont snap my fingers or holler HEY..HEY! to get your attention. so please. dont do it to me.



just because im your servER doesnt mean im your servANT

where're you working now?

Definitely agree. As a pool attendant I got treated like garbage all the time. Like when people are on vacation, they are most important. There is a definite lack of respect for people in the services industry.
