The Waitress

Greg is in the work program where he gets out everyday at 11 AM to go to work as this real estate office in a close city. He doesn't have to be there until 1PM everyday so he has two hours to spare. He calls me and we decide to go out and eat.

There is this nice little place a few miles down the road, where it's a grill like place. The waitress was taking a long time to get to the table, so the manager yells at her, and the manager takes out drink order. Then the girl finally comes around, and we order. The food was taking a long time, but the girl kept coming back asking if we were okay. She looked stressed and tired as hell. We started watching her, and noticed she didn't have 5 or 6 tables in our section, but was doing 3 sections with about 14 tables altogether. We asked her if she was being over worked. She told one person quit this morning, and another called in sick so she was running three sections by herself. With the manager constantly on her back, and people fussing at her.

There was this table of a few guys right behind us. They kept bugging her for things, and they asked where their check was. She said it will be a minute sir I have to get these other tables. Then they started complaining their meal sucked, and how she wasn't refilling their drinks fast enough, and were giving this 18 year old girl a hard ass time. Eventually they got their check, and paid and left without tipping. Other people also were being very disrespectful to this girl. Greg called the manager over and said, " Look this girl is running 3 times her normal table and your ass is bitching at her, for doing more then her job. So you can shut your ass up, and call in some other people do you understand. And stop fussing at her." I was so proud of him, and he girl finally brought us our check, and we paid left her a 6 dollar tip which is more then enough for for a 10 dollar tab. I loved her, she was an excellent waitress.

Towards the end of our little outing, other people showed up to work the other sections. People were so rude to her, and I think out of all the people on this planet your server at a restaurant if the last person you need to be rude to. They have control of your food you know;)

I love people like that i allways stand up for people in those situations cause i know how hard it is to operate the drivethrough and front counters of a fast food joint by yourself and have to do it fast too cause people get mad and drinks are wrong and u spill things and all i want to do is cry, and people dont even care..

Too many people keep their mouths shut in situations like that. It's always nice when someone has the balls to speak up.
