aah, another week in the books

not much to report on this week.  decent business, but not busy.  not what i'd call busy anyway.  i can't even remember anything interesting or funny to talk about.  oh, wait...one asshole on tuesday ordered a buffalo burger with fries and a soda (bill was $12.95) and left three dollars on the table and left.  i don't understand people.  we're good folks at river city.  if this guy forgot his wallet he should have just told peggy and im sure she would have let him run home and get it.  we do stuff like that occasionally.  but we also get these people every once in a while, that just grub and go.  it's not even teenagers trying to be funny, it's like, older people who should damn well know better.  a couple years ago this trucker had two teenage girls he picked up hitchiking and they all ate and then just snuck out the side door.  they even took the plates!  luckily it was winter, there was fresh snow, and tammy mantracked them back to the truck and called the cops.  this 50 year old loser had to call his elderly mother and wake her up to get her credit card number so he could pay for the food.  i'm sure it was embarrassing for him, and, well, fucking good.  what a jagweed.  listen, if you don't have any fucking money, you don't go in to a restaurant and order food. 

oh, and another thing, general public, just so you're aware...generally in the middle of the afternoon there's only ONE server, ONE cook, and NO hostesses or dishwashers.  so do bear with us.  it's tough.  actually now that i think about it a couple of people walked out in the afternoons this week cause either peggy or jace couldn't get to them soon enough.  look around, people...if you see a lot of customers but only one server running around, then have paitence.  she wants to take your order.  she needs the tips.  but thirty customers haranging one server for refills on sodas and sides of ranch makes said server occupied and scatterbrained.  she'll get to you.  just wait.  both the guys (truckers) waited about three minutes then made disgruntled noises and left.  have paitence, guys!  and i don't understand how we get ten and twelve tops at 3:30.  who goes out to eat with that many people in the middle of the afternoon?  dinner i understand, even weekend breakfast, sometimes lunch, but just randomly in the middle of the afternoon?  i don't get it.  no matter how long i serve people food, they'll still surprise me.
