One last note about Mother's Day

One of the most ignorant things a parent could do is leave their child's mess on the floor after the leave.
I know, I know. We're waiters and waitresses.. We can clean. We can re-set tables. But a giant pile of crackers, cookies, meat, spaghetti sauce, and chicken pieces littering the floor makes it a bit harder. Also, when there's carpetting? Yes.. Potatos do mash in when MOM AND DAD step on them..
Just a note.

For those out there that don't know, I work two jobs.. one is an office, and the other a restaurant. I sort of work the pounds of desk work away on weekends ..

Someone at the pencil pushing job read my post about Mother's Day. They requested that, as a waiter, I share my opinions.. I did. I sent them the post.

They had no comments.
They were actually a little mad at me. They thought I was a bit insensitive.

But of course, the source of this is someone that orders takeout for lunch, but quickly complains minutes later for insinnificant details of her food.. Too much lettuce in a salad, not enough sausage on her meat lovers personal pizza.. So consider the source.

But it's also a little reminder that people that never worked in the restaurant industry don't really understand.

I get it.

My wife works as a massage therapist, and there is surely on way in hell I can undersatand the pains in her shoulder, rist, and hands when she gets home from a long day.

But .. for my co-worker to ask an opinion, get it, and be angry at is, is a little disingenious.

I also found out she was taken out by her kids on Mother's Day. . . could there be a likelyhood here that she will be a customer that will not be forgotten...?
