Friday: Rush back into town and make it to work 15 minutes late then have to jump right in because it gets busy right away. Weird stomach pain is NOT ovarian cysts or my appendix rupturing, but a stomachache that finally fades once I get home and lie down on the couch. 4 hours work. 3 hours watching basketball. 5 hours sleep.
Saturday: Alarm goes off at 7 and I groggily remember that I desperately need a shower. Snooze. Alarm. Shower? Snooze. Alarm. SHOWER! Coffee shop is basically slow all day so they send me home a little early. 6 1/2 hours work. 1 hour watching basketball. Walk downtown. 4 hours seating tables, an hour to eat and walk home, 2 more hours watching basketball, then fall into bed. 10 1/2 hours work total. 6 hours sleep.
Sunday: Alarm, snooze, rush off to work at 9, coffee shop is busier but that's not saying much, clean things all day then get off at 4:15 (7 1/4 hours work), walk home for some quick basketball action then off to work again at 5:15, waiting tables this time and the second I walk in the door I'm informed all hell is about to break loose. 30 people (a college basketball team!) are coming in soon and I'm serving them and that's not all I'll also have regular tables (!!!!). The stress of having 30 extremely tall and hungry college boys to babysit is eased a little when one of them sports a "Brandon Roy haircut" and then again when I find they are actually very nice and I don't have to clean up spitballs at the end of it all. Clean up for a few hours and close the restaurant and bike home after 6 1/2 hours. 13 3/4 hours work total. Sleep?

So, how DO you do that trick?
ReplyDeletewhat the f. how do they expect you to have a party of 30 and still take tables. As a server, that makes me angry.
