Working in a Restaurant

I too work in a restaurant

You work as hard as you can

Seating people and answering phones

Only to find out it's Bill Zimmerman again

Carry back bus tubs

Clean the windows

Answer that phone tell him to call back after 2:30

"Your bathrooms out of paper towels sir"

A customer yells

This burgers not right

You forgot my friend pickles sir

A lady calls in

I answer questions too like

"Is your chicken cooked over an open pit?"

"Can I order my chicken skinless?"

And my personal favorite is

Right after I answer the phone

"Thank you for calling Hoxie's this is Justin"

Ask "Is this Hoxie's?"

Then when you are through with your biggest

Messiest table

Leaving the place looking like a stable

Then leave you a tip like your as rich as Clark Gable

And people who order to go

Thinking the food is already cooked and ready to go

I'll also let you know

The to go boxes don't just jump in the bag with napkins

And silverware and all

Have a great day and remember

To tip your server.
