Waiters Are ALSO Humans

I've hung out with all sorts of people. Weirdos, clowns, extreme extroverts, ridiculous introverts and people with idiosyncrasies that sometimes can blow you over the roof.

I'm referring to some people who treat waiters or waitresses like their maids. Worse - like some no-good "kasta rendah" servant. This has been going on for ages and ages. I'm sorta backdating things and using it as present value (haha... ignore the financial terms). I cringe at the site of people rudely asking the waiters for their orders. So, OK, you're starving like some Somalian kid, but is it necessary to throw the waiter/waitress that disgusted look and bite his/her head off?

"Mana order saya? Dah lama la saya tunggu!" *jeling*

Like whoahh...! Did it ever occur to you that maybe the house is kinda full at the moment? Or that you're NOT the only one in the darn entire restaurant with a grumpy tummy?

Dude/Dudette, these people are humans too - just so you know. It doesn't kill to act nicely towards them. It doesn't make you any less popular among the crowd if you ask them politely for your order.

Another monkey point of mine; don't think too highly of yourself. It's disgusting. Enuff said.


Peace!

i always make an effort to be nice and tell them nicely that "tomyam ayam sahaja, taknak udang/ape2 seafood", and repeat it nicely and diorang tgk aku cam aku igt diorang incompetent.

then walla. datanglah tomyam with UDANG and SOTONG skali!!! aku ALERGIK ok. mestila MURKA. aku lebih sayangkan muka aku (yg akan naik jerawat the moment i eat shrimp) dari nak jaga hati diorang when the fault is theirs. (and it happens most of the time aku bg spesifik order camtu, pastu diorang akan amik balik the mangkuk and actually buang the undang and send me back. macam lahanat. now i insist i keep the bowl with me until they send me a new one sans seafood).

i hate and cannot tolerate incompetent waiters/waitresses. they can't even take clear order. other than that i'm totally fine.

Incompetent? That's why they earn a living by just being a waitress/waiter.

Tgk situation la... If waiter tuh mcm penat giler sbb ramai sgt org, and die sendirik maybe belum bukak puase (contoh utk bln puasa), can't we still consider?

Try being a waiter tgk. Can we "the competent ones" handle massive orders in congested places.

:)

selamat berbuka.

..It's annoying.

Optimism, high-self esteem, positivity; all good, no bad.. But don't let them cloud one's awareness that:-

*Everybody is human*.*God is The Best Judge and The Know-All*

Cheers, too.
