So here it is, almost 1 in the A.M. ... And I don't want to go to bed. Work was crappy enough as it is, and there were chances, and this is bad coming out of my mouth, that I could have almost stabbed someone. People do not realize that when a person is on a station that is constantly getting hit with orders for things that do take some time to make, it eventually gets to you. I, being on Grill station tonight, was constantly hammered by things that would take some time. I had people practically clambering over everything wanting their food now, instead of waiting for it to actually finish. I had one point when the flat-top grill was covered with various items, and I had items waiting for their turn to go on. Next thing I would hear is, "Oh my god, where are my fucking tacos?" Or "What the hell is taking so long on a cheeseburger?" The first thing to come out of my mouth was, "I just got room, and I put it on there, so please wait a-" "I DON'T HAVE FUCKING TIME TO WAIT FOR IT!" That shit eventually got old. I got so pissed off at one point tonight that I just said "fuckit", downed my glass of water in the back, and started yelling at the first person to ask me for something in a rude manner. It just so happened to be, yes, a server, that wanted her garlic mushrooms. I told her that I never was told to make any, and then she starts blaming me for not making them when she needed them. I told her that there was a difference between actually getting an order for them and being told that they are actually needed for something else. She said it wasn't her fault, it was mine, because now the tickets were taking forever to make. I handed her the spatula, and said, "If you want them so badly, and you don't want your tip to go to shit, then please, go ahead and do my job. It seems like you don't want to ruin your, and if I may say so kindly, PERFECT record." She passed the spatula back, and storms off.

I know I know. I just bitched about my night, but I needed somewhere to vent. On top of all that, after the restaurant closed, we get a party of four, and they ordered three grill items of the four persons. That was real fun. Anyhow, I think I will get on with doing something else. Thanks for reading about this long spiel.
