You'll notice life is very frustrating when you expect the world to constantly conform to your expectations.

I love that Springs1 entire fine dining history can be traced back to the one time she went out for an $89 steak and hated it because the pop refills were slow.

Also....it's scary to think this women is unemployed right now. That is far to much free time to have on her hands

Because if you want the customer's money, you do every little whim. Especially, a fine dining, they should bend over backwards even more so.

I can't believe what I just read in this thread.

Someone is seriously complaining about service levels at fine dining establishments such as Montana's???? Isn't that the same as complaining about the quality of hardware at Walmart?

"My $8 steak is overcooked!!!! You should be fired!!!!"

"My trash can size free refill didn't come fast enough!!! No job for you!!!!"

Wtf?

No, but I bet she orders a Big Mac and requests they substitute a McChicken for one of the beef patties. And also demands they serve it with four sides of ranch dressing.

WHY, the servers expect an 18%-20% tip as that b*** waitress? What's the difference here? Servers have expectations, so do WE, plain and simple. AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!

Those 15 year old kids that show up to their serving shifts, and then there's you sitting at home just trolling the internet, not working for 6 months now. If only your parents had taught you a better work ethic.

You got a raise after 6 weeks, sounds like that may have been your probation period

Probably not. Good, but not Hall worthy.

This one is better than the other, but come on. It's no Pillsbury or Wannamker. Not even close.

And you weren't even here for the epic Lanny debates that got killed before the new software.

Let's not make something 'epic' for the sake of making it epic. When it happens, it will happen.
This thread must meet your criteria for Hall of Fame by now!

Shouldn't you be pounding the pavement looking for a job?

I am applying. I just got an interview next week set up. Do you realize that some of the employers told me they had 150 applicants for ONE JOB, huh?

This thread has brought so much joy to so many people. I'm not sure we can thank you enough Springs1 for making all of our work days that much more enjoyable.
