Well, the trip to the Mall of America fell through because my Dad is still in town. It's cool though, as I can get some things done around my house and my parents. I have 4 days off and I need them! I'd like to hit a Kernel's game w/ the girls in CR. Who knows? My other brother's birthday is this week too. My cousin's b-day is the day before his as well. This past Saturday the whole family went out to eat @ Lone Star to celebrate the birthdays. The food was good and the service was EXCELLENT!!!!! I was quite upset @ the fact that 2 members of my family gave this poor server a VERY hard time. I wasn't sure what he did to deserve such attitude, and I was sitting close to them. We are a large group: 4 kids under the age of 5 and a 6 month old baby. All of us had seperate checks (no BIG deal) and the grat was included as it is for large groups. Anyway, I was personally insulted and called the manager on Sunday to apologize. My Dad's side of the family is so rude sometimes. I'm quite ready to wash my hands of them. No one except for me and my little brother have worked in food service. They don't know how HARD it is and how it sucks ass to have bitchy guests. You know u cannot tell them off because you'll lode your job. I may go back and tip him a little more. (I didn't have any cash w/ me on Sat.) So, to those of you out there who think that we are your damn servants...F OFF!!!!!! Wow, I really do feel better now. Don't make me tell you about my friend who waited on a newly drafted Hawkeye and how he was an ass: snapped his fingers for her attention, asked for a DISCOUNT, and tipped her crap. Y'all have a good day!!!!
