Know it all Co-workers

First of all I am by no means a drama queen and run from it. I worked in Beauty Salons for years I have a license and did hair and somehow at times in that business when I came across an impossible client I could not please after many hours on consultation and eating my time up so I could not take anymore bookings and make money which is why we work in life to get paid for our service. I realized this person needed a SHRINK and not a Hairdresser. I had in visioned in my mind opening the front door of the Salon turning the chair towards the door pumping the chair up as high as it can go their Hydraulic an using my ejection lever on my chair right side to be exact and eject the client right outta my chair threw the door in mid air like a cartoon and my words were you have been DENIED and I HAD IT WITH YOU LADY! YOUR TIME IS UP! My service and my knowledge is expensive time is money.Fix your own hair and lie to someone else what you shampoo it with. From the frizz you were rocken it is clear your shampoo was a carpet shampoo and it had the PH of a toilet soap and you wanted me to put a chemical on it ahuh sure whatever . I left hairdressing for awhile being insulted with no pay was wearing me thin and the drama and gossip. I went back into Hospitality.


Every now and then you have to throw down I do what I gotta do and sometimes DUTY CALLS! I have experienced it in Salons and in Hospitality when working with people. Were human.

There is always one co-worker at work that embraces gossip Never watches there tables eats all the time at work smokes alot, sucks up to the manager and keeps tabs on everyone else like a reporter A SNITCH. Wandering around on a phone slacker on side work. A real treat for the cooks, Chefs. Orders are always wrong but blames the kitchen. This particular server went out of her way to dig me in front of other servers and took opportunity's while working to get some zingers in I guess that made her feel taller. My experience working in Hotels and Resorts showed I work neat I am not a SLOB. I ignored her eh whatever do your thing as long as the cooks&chefs were happy with me and the hostess kept me sat she did not get to me. This was just one dingbat at this place there were about four of them that would tag team me. The other dingbats were off that day.


I happen to be prepping one day for burgers tops we were slow, lettuce, tomato, one raw onion ring and DINGBAT REPORTER comes up to me and starts prepping giving me her Resume and what ever else I tuned her out I noticed she went back to the cooler get more lettuce she comes back. I reach for it and it is not washed, umm errr did you wash this "oh we don't do it here like that" O RLY I said you need to wash the heads of lettuce with salt water it removes the dirt and loosens it.

She went on and on how you don't have to do that. I said okay so when the OWNERS come in and they WILL with their friends and they order a burger and there teeth grind from DIRT I am coming for you I walked away. She was training a newbie one night, newbie was making iced tea. I watch her open a bag of tea for our tea urns pour it into the filter put the paper filter in the basket filter and hit the button. This Restaurant did not have sugar boxed lines, so you had to manually add the sugar not too difficult right? Take a pitcher and measure the sugar add hot water DISSOLVE the sugar stir wait until the tea has stop its brew cycle then add sugar and stir for a while,not hard right? WAHLA you have brewed sweet iced tea!

I see newbie did not dissolve the sugar she added it while the tea was brewing and never stirred it. I say nothing, fighting is alot of energy with dingbat and lately I was reserving my strength she really was not worth my time. It was not newbies fault. So one day newbie was on her own training complete and repeated the process in front of a owner, The owner said who taught you that oh DINGBAT did so I watch and dingbat comes in the kitchen and the OWNER snaps and goes off on dingbat I am behind the owner smiling.

I know the owner this was my third Restaurant working for him. What is the point of all this? You taught newbie wrong!! admit it! Your wrong! and now my guests have to wait and suffer with no refills of tea because your an imbecile, and refuse correction. So do I expose you and TELL my guests about you oh it's dingbats fault we have no tea right now! How does that look and what kind of place are they dinning in?

No I make my own tea and bring it to my guests. You give people enough rope and they hang themselves. So when you hear anyone can serve and wait tables it is so easy even a caveman can do it, Waiting tables is nothing ahuh sure dingbat is the first one crying I'm in the weeds I can't handle it no more tables then counts her tips after the shift is done complaining she made no money??? Waiting tables is time management stop worrying what everyone else is doing and take correction and learn and maybe you could focus on being a more attentive server and walk out with some money.


P!ink has a song: ahuh ahuh Stupid girl! Stupid girl! Maybe if I act like.......lol
