Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

Yeah, give us the poop.

I had a table of 10 the other night.  They were all busy chatting and having a good time together, I just made sure I stayed out of their way.  Didn't overly talk to them or anything.  Got their food out to them as quickly as possible, kept their drinks filled. Got their checks paid as quickly as I could. I have no idea, said I was incredibly rude.  

[Gryphon]

oh, hon, I am so sorry!

[pariann]

Me too, now I have to go back out there and find another job.  And since I need money now..it's waitressing again.  I really want to be able to put my computer skills to work..but the only computers I ever end up working on out in the public is POS.  Like that takes any talent.

I ran by McDonalds for lunch (so much for getting fit today!). A woman named "Precious" with a haircut that rivaled the finest topiaries....took my ten dollar bill for the $4.23 that I owed her. She accidentally entered that I had tendered $4.23.
"oh no..." she muttered...."Im sorry, I need to get my manager." I figured the manager had to do some overwrite to make the register come out even at the end of the day....no biggie.
Well the manager comes over and Precious explains what happened. "Oh its ok" the manager said..."just give him his change"

Precious looked embarrassed. "I dont know how much I owe him"
She had called the manager over because she couldn't do the math to give me my change....
I was flabbergasted.

"Nobody said there'd be math!" 

[pariann]

whew, it's about time, I was starting to feel stalked.

[Gryphon]

[pariann]

You had to be there, I reckon.

"Nobody said there'd be math!" 

I was a manager at a hotel a few years ago. I was training a young lady, who was going to college, for the front desk position. Our machines didn't have the function that told us how much change was due. We had to count it back. She looked at me with a completely blank expression when I told her to count out the change due a guest. Would you believe she said "I didn't think I'd need to count". NO KIDDING AT ALL. She was mortified and not joking.

I guess all these new machines spoil people. Way, way, back when I was a clerk , while going to school.. there was no such thing as a machine that counted the change.

Last year I was at Walmart and I bought a few things. The total was about 20 bucks but my charge was  about 300 dollars. I was shocked, but the clerk didnt think anything was wrong so she ran everything up again. The total was the same. I took the slip and showed her that a dish towel had rung up as a swing set.
It seems to me that a person would catch something that was a big big differance, but she would have taken my money and never caught it.
I don't know what to think about some people.

:icon_twisted:OK, everyone who lives close enough needs to got o Morano's and ask for Pariann to be their server.  When they tell you she no longer works there, say "never mind, we'll go somewhere else," and then leave.

Thank you

We went last night to give it a second chance. I hadn't heard that she'd been let go, but Paul met us outside and he told us the news...Sorry to hear that girl! I did consider going elsewhere, but someone was determined to see if the food had improved at all.

Hehe, they don't know about this forum, so the owner doesn't check here to see what's said. IF I feel like knocking the place, this is the best place to do it. And if I get any grief, I probably will!!
