The Worst Work Night of All Time

Taken by Manager Marc. The customers are a bunch of (ur)anuses 

Last night I pretty much had the absolute worst work shift that I've ever had in my 5 summers at Planet Pizza. It was so god awful that I felt I had to share the shittiness with everyone, just spread it around. Here's what went down:

1. Your average family of four leaves me $0 on a $57. Great way to start my night. Now mind you, we have to tip the bus boys 1.5% of our sales, so that stiff means money basically comes out of my pocket. 

2. Pain in the ass party of 13, who are basically sucking down their drinks (huge pet peeve, esp when I've just given them to you and I'm clearly busy) and demands (after the fact) to split their check in really complicated ways. 

3. A very redneck looking family, several of whom happen to be deaf but I guess can read lips and manage to talk to me, runs up a $105 bill. I'm a bleeding heart under my foul mouthed exterior so I'm extra nice because I feel bad. They end up being super needy with the refills (no please or thank you), which is fine I'm still feeling bad for them, not so much after I find out they tip me $5. 

4. The grand finale: family of 5 and their uncle who's jokes aren't funny. Uncle wants a sweet tea but with only 4 ice cubes (wtf). Little girl throws up right there in the booth (I tipped the poor bus boy $5 extra because I felt so bad that he had to clean that up). You'd think that you'd feel bad for the people having to wait on you/clean up your kids puke that you'd tip well... no such luck, $7 on a $67. One of their other kids also came up and randomly hugged me saying "I only hug people if they're handsome or pretty and you're pretty!" Umm thanks little girl...?

I'm sorry. It probably seems like I'm just complaining and being ungrateful or whatever but if you've ever worked in the service industry maybe you can feel some pity for a girl. Haha I just thought a kid barfing at my table was really just the darndest thing.

I'm just glad that I also have my little Stella and Dot business to semi-fall back on. I've only had one trunk show so far but it's completely boosted my confidence and made me hungry for more business. It's a job where I'm actually doing something I like with nice people and it's fun!

So (shameless plug) I'd really appreciate your support; like my page https://www.facebook.com/StellaDotIndependentStylistAlannahKittle (if you haven't done so already) and if you're even a teensy bit interested contact me for more info on how to host your own trunk show. It's free, easy (I do all of the work for you, you just provide me with the names and emails of those you'd like to invite) and you get to reap the benefits of free jewelry and products at half price (I got $240 in free product and 3 items half off for hosting a show at my family reunion)!
