    As a steelers fan I am contractually obligated to hate the Ravens. But had the Niners won they would have tied us for 6 rings. So I was secretly cheering for the Ravens. Don't tell Grimmlock.

    Are the niners even aware they are at the superbowl, or playing a football game in general? Why they didn't touch him on that last TD is beyond me.

    You're totally right, and in my case our GM was part owner - he had a vested interest in actually coming in if needed. (And as a I mentioned, he did if people wanted the personal sommelier touch) Our GM never cooked however; the executive chef owned the place, and kept a tight rein on the...

    I've said I lived in san fran, doesn't my profile even state that? I meant, living here, wouldn't I say I was a tranny, if I were? This is like the prime place to be one, no reason to stay hidden out here if I were!

    I'm from Pittsburgh; I wouldn't move to San Fran and then not come out. That's the most futile thing I've ever heard!

    There's absolutely no one I would trust more to confirm it! But tranny, chick or guy, it won't really change my experience with this board, except that if I talk about life experiences, people will start just envisioning me tucking. (Which I could care less about.) I'll let you know if I...

    Woahh, I never said anything except the stilettos, because that was what was required of my hostessing job. (And even then I got away with flats as often as I could.) I'm not a master chef; that takes an exceedingly long time to become that and legitimate tests to get the title. I'm just a...

    I'm neither, i couldn't cut it stress-wise. For the record, I worked a full time job in a restaurant making shit money, and paying my own way the entire time, my parents helped with nothing. My dream was to be a chef, and then to go on to journalism so that I could be a food editor while also...

    Friday/Saturday morning managers are generally completely different than the night managers. Our GM came in in the mornings, he was also our sommelier. We had the "grunt" managers during the nights, unless there was a big party. If you're one of the bigger managers, especially the one who...

    Neither. I get really drunk and super excited whenever someone fumbles, regardless of their affiliation. It's a hard call to make - I don't want the niners near the steelers, but you gotta hate on the ravens.

    It's a mutual hate, my friend. Nothing more fun than picking on Caps fans. What a great lead in to the superbowl. Fuck me for being a steelers fan in the heart of niners country though. At least I can feel righteous when I go to hockey games. Haha Sharks, where's your fucking cup...

    Caps used to use the knowledge of their own arena and it's fucking walls/glass quite a bit to bounce pucks - haven't seen it in awhile though but yea, fuck you glass. Edit: Haha, I haven't really heard too much Crosby love. Used to be during Caps/Pens days Pierre would slob all over Ovie's...

    Actually pursuing a career in culinary is one of the most stressful things I've ever undertaken - I'd disagree on the assertion that it's only stressful in college/directly after college. Granted, the restaurant part became one of the easiest parts as you start your way up. It's a fairly...

    Yea, never expect the devils to tire us out. It's up or down on whether Brodeur can stop our scorers, but a game against the devils never seems to have much momentum. Pierre has such a hard on for Ovie; there should be an entire section if it's a Caps game. Also, hilarious we are still...

    Yea, I missed the game (We have center ice, but it was on NHL HD which apparently does not come with our cable package nor our center ice package, wtf?) but my dad and I generally always text during the games, so he kept me abreast. I hate missing games, but if I have to devils are the one to...

    There are many variables though, per person, per visit, per restaurant, per server. I always tip 20% as a baseline; more for things like weather (if it's delivery) or exceptional service. But it all depends on what you consider bad, average, or good service. If you've never worked in the...

    Damn son, Pens are playing caps/devils and panthers several times in the next few weeks...I'm really hoping we can make those into some wins. It's interesting that the Caps are pretty much regarding half season as their post season, IE sucking it up like usual. Sucks to be you Merrith. =(...

    There's always times where you are crazy busy, most customers are understanding though. There's a definite difference between "You are busy, but the customers see you at other tables and know that you will get to them" and "Your tables don't know where the fuck you are". There's a definite...

    At the same time, I can appreciate partly where people are coming from. A desk job, even if I have to talk to customers, will generally pay the same amount whether I decide I want to browse rerolled all day or if I actually get work done. It's not so for servers, and requires them to always...

    Bad service is getting orders mixed up, not bringing drinks after being reminded a few times, forgetting things like napkins or silverware, arguing with the customer over something trivial, not knowing the basics of specific foods - if I ask what it means by "mojo Caribbean flavor" you should be...

    Well, it's rerolled so I am ok with being considered a guy, or as the case seems to be these days, a tranny. It probably works out in my favor if you just assume I have a wang for all the aggressive ranting about MMOs I do.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Yea, it's interesting that as much as I dislike the industry, I still tip high (20% for even average service) mostly to avoid the social stigma of being "That shitty tipper". And that's terrible, because instead of it being a value for service, it's just "required" socially, so unless they're...

    I've only worked at high end restaurants; since I was a culinary student with hospitality management background, I pleaded my case and got in. (I won't lie, I'm sure tits and stilettos had something to do with it.) That said, to the person who talked about low end restaurants, it doesn't...

    Food sitting in the pass for fucking ever has happened at every restaurant I've worked at, and never because the server is busy. 9/10 times the server went for a 20 minute smoke break, or sat behind the bar talking to the bartender etc. I'm hoping that my experiences with servers were just...

    Yea, when I worked as a hostess it was sort of an interesting experience. I was there to eventually get into the kitchen, but somehow got ringed into the front desk. I had a hard time adjusting...or rather, I adjusted fine I was just disgusted - by the atmosphere of the people who work in a...

    This. I'm a pretty generous tipper; I feel bad if I leave anything less than 20%, and like others have said, that can go up depending on extraordinary service, or things like weather for delivery guys. Having both cook and been a hostess in the hospitality industry, you really get to...
