"THIS AND THAT" AND THAT...AND THAT
AGAIN
When you gamble and don't bring cream with the coffee -- the customer wants it. If you do bring the cream -- it goes unused. (Customers conspire on that behalf.) There is either no bread in the warming drawer or too much bread in it that hasn't been warmed yet...never the right amount. more "DESSERT" STORM
You
spend two hours going through and explaining each item on the dessert
menu...then they all say they are too full. You spend two hours going through and explaining each item on the dessert menu, no one wants any...but then one changes their mind...then a second...then a third... You

"COFFEE, TEA OR ME?"
They want decaf coffee, all that's made at the time is regular...so you fake it. (And the customers curse you as they are up all night, but they don't know where to find you) You're not sure which pot is the decaf and which is the regular...so you guess. (You figure you have a 50% chance of being right -- good odds) more 'APPETIZER" SCROOGE
Your table decides to splurge and order appetizers...and the appetizers come out cold. Your table decides to splurge and order appetizers...and the appetizers come up ten minutes apart. The
shrimp cocktail is always too skimpy...even if you give them twenty
shrimp...jumbo...for just $2.95.
