I have been meaning to visit for a while and as we are seated at the same table I thought "what better time".<BR/><BR/>I used to waitress in a Hotel at Uluru (Ayers Rock) and once I "accidentally" tipped a tray of drinks over some obnoxious bastard who'd been giving me shit all night. Nice sticky drinks too....it was too delicious.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339140046788925506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430827523235519471.post-35996076184741894152007-12-08T12:12:00.000+00:002007-12-08T12:12:00.000+00:00Native Minnow: I'll try.......nah still too tired....Native Minnow: I'll try.......nah still too tired......Manuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333257013163173911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430827523235519471.post-2702177433801073622007-12-08T03:33:00.000+00:002007-12-08T03:33:00.000+00:00I'd never make it in the service industry.

I worked as a waitress in our local Wimpey Bar for a couple of years when I was at College so I know the situation from both sides and I find it incomprehensible that customers can be so rude to someone who is smiling pleasantly. It became something of a challenge on occasion to just see if I could maintain my composure and chirpy nature in the face of their unpleasantness.<BR/>Happy Holidays!Joanna Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944673677004607976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430827523235519471.post-54628919906278954832007-12-07T11:53:00.000+00:002007-12-07T11:53:00.000+00:00LOL @ sheepworrier.Hey RG...Upset Waitress would'v...LOL @ sheepworrier.<BR/><BR/>Hey RG...Upset Waitress would've made the guy feel as if he brought the crumbs in himself, smacked his ass, and probably said, "Hey buddy...you dropped something.
