  • Over staffing

    16 June 2013 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    Over the last few days I've been out to eat at a few establishments and seen that for this Father's day weekend restaurants are prepping early for it. Apparently they think this year will be better than the last because every establishment I went to had...

  • Diary of a Mad...Man June 28th 2013

    29 June 2013 ( #Diary of a Mad...Man )

    3:00 PM CST - Leaving the house on the mini rocket. It says it is 99 degrees outside... it is not far from the truth. I love Texas Weather!! 3:40 PM CST - Arrive at work an hour earlier than most of the night staff. So far I am the only one present. Damn...

  • Pros and Cons of being a Server

    10 October 2013 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    I’ve been in and out of the service industry for many years. When I was 18 I quit a furniture store I worked for and the first place my older brother took me to was a restaurant. Olive Garden hired me on the spot and though being a high school student,...

  • 4 Reasons Our Kids Are Screwed

    19 December 2012 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    I've been working in the restaurant industry a long time and I have noticed some changes with people and how they deal with their kids. It used to be as a child that I'd actually have some educational interaction with my parents. My father was a handyman...

  • Guests in Restaurants....

    15 November 2012 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    This is such a hard topic for me to write about... only because I feel so strongly about certain aspects of it. Personally having worked off and on (mostly on the last few years) in the Hospitality I have developped a very big hatred of the average people....

  • Countries that hate America.. They actually did a Poll..

    09 July 2013 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    For anyone that has worked or visited a restaurant or service industry you might have been presented or told about a survey for the guests that sometimes provides a prize for the random taker and if you are the employee this can directly effect your job...

  • Why Mexican Women Scare Me

    24 July 2013 ( #Women Ranting )

    Physically, they don't scare me at all. It has to do more so with some stereotypes that I do find to be commonly true. Let me explain first. I love women of culture. Culture being Asian, Indian, Mexican, ect.. I live in Texas and we do have an abundance...

  • My Running List of Favorite Table Moments

    02 December 2013 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    This is a place where I put interactions between guests and either myself, my friends, or just random people I run into online or at bars. I tend to hang around with a lot of restaurant employees at bars so we are always swapping "horror" stories. Here...

  • Review - Burger King on Hulen (Fort Worth, TX)

    13 March 2013 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    I've waited years for there to be a Burger King in my area and a few months ago my desire was fulfilled as they shut down the Arby's on Hulen and remodeled it into a Burger King. I was stoked the day I saw it, and the first time I went I got the biggest,...

  • Managers... heh..

    20 December 2012 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    Manager - a person who has control or direction of an institution, business, etc., or of a part, division, or phase of it Ah, the days when you go into work on a slow night and apparently managers are already flustered and angry about bullshit that does...

  • Drivers Today

    23 October 2013 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    I’ve been on the road for almost 17 years. In that time, I have had a couple of accidents… three to be exact. One from inexperience, one from stupidity, and one was very minor and doesn’t matter. The inexperience and stupidity wrecks lost me my cars so...

  • Diary of a Mad...Man July 3rd 2013

    04 July 2013 ( #Diary of a Mad...Man )

    6:31 AM CST - Man she sleeps at some odd angles... This is the third time I've had to get up and move to another part of the bed so I won't fall out. Work is gonna be fun later if I can't get any rest. 9:00 AM CST - Clock is going off... she is not stirring......

  • 10 Fun Facts about Japan

    01 October 2013 ( #Learn Something! )

    Japan is that rather small island off the coast of China that thought it could kick 'Merica's ass back in World War II. That little island of 5 foot tall overachievers that took two atom bombs and then turns around and makes all the worlds electronics....

  • Restaurants Mindsets...

    28 June 2013 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    This is about a place a close friend of mine worked. He told me stories both good and bad that effected him in a multitude of ways. Finally fed up with years of service at two locations... downtown and one farther south, he decided it was time to go....

  • Valentine's Day

    15 February 2013 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    Normally should be a great night of two tops treating their significant others to a night out on the town. Usually they spend a bit out of their means for that one night to show their affection for whomever they are with. I've worked many of these nights...

  • Texas Laws

    20 May 2013 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    Texas... my home. I absolutely love this state. I've lived here most of my life and all of my adult life. It has shown me much of its crazy antics such as the insane weather this state loves to throw our way. You have to love the freezing weather one...

    14 March 2013 ( #Gaming Rants )

    I have been looking into all the information coming out about the two new mega systems both fighting to be in first place upon their release. The two systems each have their own loyal followers both in software developers and in fanbase. Personally I...

  • Jim Jefferies - Comedian

    06 September 2013 ( #Movie Raves )

    After watching two and a half hours of this guy’s comedy specials I will say I am greatly impressed. Actually surprised is more like it since until recently I had never heard of this guy and he is hilarious. Though he sounds like a Brit he is actually...

  • 90% by 10%

    20 August 2013 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    This is what I believe the world ratio of dumb people to smart people actually is. Some think I am way off in saying that 10 percent of the Earth's population is smart vs their estimation of it being closer to 1 percent. Now to a certain point I do agree...

  • Thoughts of a Server

    30 November 2012 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    Working for large corporate stores has its perks. Discounts, moreover all business, and bonuses. Sadly this isn't always the case. Working for the company I work for has definitely shown me that this is not true. We have no perks... our discounts are...

  • Redheads....

    08 April 2013 ( #Women Ranting )

    Oh how I love thee... I don't know if it is the complexion of your skin, the color of your hair, or the fire in your souls that allures me. It is some "je ne sais pas" going on with them. From all the redheaded women I've known they are broken down into...

  • Cheap Food and Cheap People

    13 March 2013 ( #Restaurant Rants )

    The day most of us loath is the day that we sell stuff for virtually half of and you don't tip us crap for it. I understand going the cheap route, I do it at bars all the time. I love to follow the drink specials. I will drink to my little hearts content...

  • People are stupid...

    27 January 2013 ( #Life in General Rants or Raves )

    Time and time again my perception of people is brought back to this line of thought.... people are stupid. I try to believe they are not but eventually people say or do something that is perfectly asinine to prove my theory correct. I'll site a few small...
