Ever since I started to go out with my husband, late 2000, I was able to finally go out to eat a lot, like every single weekend sometimes twice or even 3 times a weekend. Never had that before.
I also started out being a very hard worker at my first job. I worked at a donut shop/diner as counter help. They gave me a raise within a month and a half $5.15 min. wage to $5.50. I always was the type of person that was called a "GO-GETTER" that I tried my best on my job. I see now I could have tried harder knowing what it's like to be a customer, back in 1998-2002(That's when I worked there off and on a little over 2yrs) I didn't.
For example, the first few months I worked there, they had a lady that complained of a cold croissant, I ignored her, thought she was lying. See, now, I have a very new prospective that NOW I KNOW what it's like to be that *PERSON*. See, my mom cooked a lot and the boyfriends I had couldn't afford to go out to eat much, so I hardly ever ate out to be a customer to understand what it felt like being that customer having those issues.
So I know now and a lot of servers that probably did go out to eat much more than I did as a kid don't have ANY CLUE of what it feels like to be a customer with a problem at their table it seems, at least that's the way they act.
So each time something goes wrong with anything in life, don't you get more pissed the more times it happens? Well, that's basically where I am now that when bad service happens, some of the issues are the SAME ISSUES that come up and it's AGGRAVATING. So that's why I ended up starting blogging. I believe since 2004. Before that I didn't know there was a such thing. I only knew forums such as Young and The Restless forum I was on talking about the show, not restaurants.
