Im guessing bad waitresses are a product of the people who use that list as a starting point for service, and drive the servers crazy.
Hey, Tmall, think we should bring this list to Toz? Maybe they can post it the kitchen? |

I am not saying serving is the world's toughest job, its very simple actually. I just think people that have been in those busy situations where you can't please everyone, will have a better understanding of their own food service in the future.

My experience is sort of unique in the since that I work in a small 70 year old Roadhouse with a small grill and seats for 90 people, which are covered by only two servers. We are usually full most of the morning as we are a breakfast only place and the wait time averages 30 minutes for one of our 3 meals. The tourists however forget they are in the middle of no where Alaska and expect fast food which is annoying. If a customer service job makes me subservient, than what the fuck is signing a contract and joining any armed force? Way more subservient? |

That can be said of anyone who has worked in a customer service capacity. I worked at Toronto International Airport (I refuse to call it Pearson Airport) for 5 years, in the parking lot, in various capacities. As a parking attendant I got called "white trash" because I wouldn't let a minority businessman park his car in one of the only 6 handicapped spaces in the whole lot. I got pushed by cars when people were impatient. As a cashier people lied about how large a bill they handed me to pay for parking. As the assistant supervisor I had to calm down customers who were clearly in the wrong, without telling them to their faces that they were wrong.

I can see what your saying. After serving tourists in a breakfast joint and working as a cashier at Wal-mart in college, I can't stand most people. Working in an airport in any fashion simply scares me though. Any of the people jobs at a large airport must be awful.
