[QUOTE="Lil, post: 736728, member: 17309"] Oh I HATE that servers get blamed for slow service. They aren't the ones cooking! But everyone blames them. I remember once when we were slammed and I was the only server again (keep in mind I was like 20 years old and working for a family friend's smallish restaurant) and a woman ordered the catfish. It was frozen in a block of ice. The cooks tried and tried to thaw the darn thing and it just took forever! Finally after about 1/2 an hour I had to tell the lady that the fish was still frozen and due to a problem in the kitchen, it would easily be another 1/2 hour. I recommended she change her order and mentioned we had very good shrimp. She snarkily said, [I]"Well they're probably frozen too."[/I] I had run and run serving people and I was tired and the kitchen was backed up and I just kind of snapped,[I] "Lady, How the Hell else are you going to get shrimp in Missouri?!"[/I] She ordered a cheeseburger and tipped me better than 50%. LOL! I worked as a hostess too, and waitresses will get SO mad if they feel you are passing their section. I remember one having an absolute FIT because the other got all the tables. Well, her section was the smoking section! It wasn't MY fault we had a bunch of non-smokers come in. What was I supposed to do, force them to smoke? [/QUOTE]
