The worker wasn't a bad person, friendly and all that - but sucked on the job, and in that "Hey - what the hell happened here...OH...looks like...yep, Bob slacked off again, screwed up, and didn't tell anyone about it, and now we get to clean up a worse mess than if he'd fessed up at that moment."<BR/><BR/>Goodbye, sucky coworker.

I grabbed some of her tickets from the window and started running food. I brought two dinners to a couple that are a notorious pain in the ass and they refused it, saying they'd seen it sit in the window for 20 minutes. Since I had personally seated them about 25 minutes before, and had seen their food put in the window only a couple of minutes before, I was incredulous, but thought it best to sent their server to be sure. We were ready to just redo the order-- our instructions from our boss is not to argue-- just do what it takes to make them happy. As their server discussed with them about what they wanted to do, they got belligerent, yelled at her, the husband told her "F*ck you!" and that they were never coming back. She told them "That would be a real shame."<BR/><BR/>Happily, we haven't seen them since then. It's nice when people keep their promises.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-5981560776467043302008-08-04T05:38:00.000-07:002008-08-04T05:38:00.000-07:00heya brat...!! it's good to be able to see new en...heya brat...!! it's good to be able to see new entries on your blog when I check! and i still love reading about the crazy people over there!<BR/><BR/>i had a bad bucks experience over in london.

I think what happens is the autosave feature seems to kick in, just as you inadvertantly hit CTRL and A and as you strike the next key, everything disappears, and the very next second, the autosave "saves" the blank draft.<BR/><BR/>I do a copy and paste into a notepad document every so often now too.<BR/><BR/>Or, you could get hold of a clipboard utility that stores the latest CTRL+V copy actions, and us that to keep a running back up.
