serving

I just started serving a bout two months ago. So far i like it but it seems there are always customers that just want to ruin my day. I worked at Texas Road House two years ago as a buss boy and when I would hear about customers being difficult or mean i would think it was funny and didn't see why waiters would get so worked up about it. Now that I am a server I understand why servers hate people like that.

I work at a small restaurant in a small town that just opened up. Everyone that goes there has high expectations about it and will complain about everything. Since I have become a waiter people complain about the wait the soda being flat and all the above. There are no real problems people just want to complain about something. It's very hard to be nice to people that treat me like dirt. When they crab and glare all i can do is smile and be nice even though i most likely wont see a tip from them.

I believe that waiting tables build character and helps with my people skills which will help me in life. I have noticed i am a better talker in public and more up front to people with problems and i my self am not as scared to bring up a problem to a stranger.
