It really was just a fun poke. Like I said, I grew up in the south, so the people down there are still a little bitter (that was a joke, too).

Sorry for my misspellings, I meant WRITE a book! OOPS, I thought you said DIET. Keep up the funny blog and good luck, just try to refrain from insulting big groups of people, and if you’re going to, at least thoroughly explain why.

Do you need a coleman lantern? I really do like your blog I just stumbled on it. I’m not sure how many people you realize work in the restaurant industry between just New York City and Chicago alone. The “Yanks” go to hell comment??? It’s puzzling to me exactly what you mean. I’m trying to find the sarcasm in it, but somehow I’m missing it, and I really really hope to miss it. See, if you’re going to write a book, I don’t believe there is a city with more restaurant industry people in this country than NYC. And in Nyc, most take the subway and READ books! If this is sarcasm, I apologize, I’m just missing it. If it isn’t, I think you should refrain from those kind of comments, especially if you’d like to right a book one day.

Sections can save a lot of time; it’s just a trade off… we’re 42 tables, btw. Up and down stairs we do try to segregate though. I think part of the reason we’re ok with that is that our management had us with huge sections anyway. 10 tables per server… From what I’ve been told, that’s on the larger side. And one of the sections had both up and downstairs, which was ridiculous.

I suppose that works in smaller restaurants, but with restaurants with 40-80 tables, running around without sections is a recipe for disaster. Sections help servers keep organized and organization is extremely important during busy shifts. You might get screwed over by the occasional camper, but being able to keep tabs on your tables that are all clumped together saves a lot of time and effort.

At my restaurant we (the servers) have stopped honoring sections entirely and just “take turns.” So, whoever gets on first is one, then the second on is two, and so on, and we give servers tables in order all night. You really have to be on top of your shit, and it’s more running around, but no one gets screwed by campers.
