Top 10 reasons why I'm glad I'm quiting
10. People who drop something on the floor and don't pick it back up.
9. People who don't tip (eww!).
8. People Who dine and dash (bitches!).
7. People who still complain EVEN AFTER the issue was resolved and got a free meal out of it.
6. Parents who let their kids run around the restaurant and make messes and think it's our job to clean up after them.
5. People who think they can get their food in 5 minutes when they ordered a well done steak.
4. People who get mad when they have to wait to be seated.
3. When you thank a person for their patronage, they ignore you.
2. When a party is sat, and they decide to move to another table... that's still dirty!
And the number one reason why I'm glad I'm quiting....
1. To many hours to put in for the pay and the pathetic lack or gratitude..
Believe or not, all these things happened today. I don't get it, do people like treating us like we are slaves or worthless? The service industry is the most under appreciated profession in my opinion. People think it's ok to treat us like crap cause they pay for our service. What ever happened to the "treat others the way you want to be treated"? Fry's has the worst customer service of any electronics store that I've been to. Is it because their clientele is high maintenance, and they just can't take it any more? Now don't get me wrong, there are some rude folks out their in my industry.That dose not give them a reason to treat anyone without respect, but if you think about it, how did they get that way? Who hired them? And most importantly, why are they still doing it? I can speak for myself when I say That I stayed because of my co-workers. I have been so lucky to make some pretty amazing friends and I'll miss them most of all. As for my customers? I have a few who made my job bearable, but the others? Yeah I wont miss the rolling of the eyes when I tell them it will be a 10 minute wait. Or when a customer complains that their food is taking to long when they have just ordered 7 minutes ago. Ugh... I've always said that I was going to create a series of commercials showing people out there how to treat the service industry. Hey, I should call Micheal Moore, see if he's busy ;)
