I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

There were 56 voicemails on line one today.

There were another 12 on line two.

It took 30 minutes to get them on paper because every time the phone rings it cuts off the playback.

I don’t answer any calls till the messages are returned.

I sat down with a cup of coffee at 1:30. At 4:00 I still had 7 calls to make.

I got nothing else accomplished today.

It won’t be better tomorrow.

Tonight was the busiest Wednesday every. And the revenue was better than the last 2 Fridays.

It’s not slowing down folks.

I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Today a woman calls to say that they had baby sitter problems and would like to change their reservation of 5.

To one table of 3.

And another table of 3.

I could do it and so didn’t question it the math.

The first table of 3 was for 5:00.

The second table of 3 was for 8:00.

5:00 came and went and no 3 top. They called around 10 after to say they were running late. They arrived at 5:30. And were seated.

No big deal.

Until I find out that only 2 of them are eating. The other 3 top will be a woman from the first 3 top joining another 2 people.

So they are taking up a table for 3 so that only 2 people can eat.

And they sit and they sit and they sit.

And at 8:00 they are still sitting.

And at 8:00 the other couple shows up and the daughter comes out to ask them to join her at her table.

And I interrupted and explained that that couldn’t happen. I needed their table now for a 5 top arriving any minute now. So I could seat the three of them but they couldn’t join.

She was not happy, but they were sat, and the other couple left.

This was a first for me.

I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

What’s the hardest part of my job?

Who likes to play loose and fast with the weather?

NOT ME. Not any more.

I used to, but after Monday, never again.

There is a chance for thunderstorms again tomorrow.

Guess who has already called off the patio.

It’s just not worth the headache.
