Chicken miso soup???

This lady from Table 35 who acts posh really irratates me. She came with a man and they took forever to order. When she ordered some drinks, she spoke so softly and I couldnt even hear her. This is a busy restaurant and it is very noisy u know. As I was standing there to take your stupid orders, you took your own sweet time to decide. I am busy ok ! And you dont even know what is sushi and tempura. Why act posh as if u are regular to Japanese restaurant? The man ordered miso soup. The lady tried a bit and I heard she said ohh, thats very nice. Is that chicken soup?...chicken???? Wuahahahahah..miso soup from chicken stock? Stupid woman. Miso is fermented soya bean ok? with bonito flakes ok? Fish ok ? Not chicken ok ?

Better stay at home

This table of two was an elderly couple. The man eats only gluten-free food. Gosh, this is so troublesome man. Gluten-free means no wheat in the food, which means no soya sauce. This is Japanese restaurant man, where soya sauce is the basic and most important ingredient in the food. So, I suggested sushi and sashimi without soya sauce and he said, no no I dont eat sushi sashimi. Oh God....then what are you doing here? What are you doing in Japanese restaurant when you eat only gluten-free. You dont wanna salad, so there is nothing else for you to eat. Finally, he ordered some duck without any sauce. Just plain roast duck. What's the point?? I don't see any point to dine outside. You make me running up and down to the kitchen and u left me no tips. People..

I am so stingy

Last Wednesday I had a table of 6 people. They looked very posh and as they came in, Ming told me that they gonna leave £50 tips. I got so excited and tried my best to give the best service. Kiki recognised them as well and told me they gonna leave good tips. However, as I was taking order from another table, this table of 6 was ready to order so Kiki helped me to take the order. After that, he left everything else for me to serve. At the end of the meal, I guess customers were very happy because they left me £80. Kiki asked me how much they left. I lied to him £20 because if he knew it was £80 so much, I will feel quilty because I didnt share with him as he helped me with this table as well. I am being stingy and I didnt want to share.

Royal visit II

After I met the Prince and Princess on Saturday night, I looked for more informations about the royal family of Thailand on the internet. I found out he is the crown prince of Thailand, Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn. He is the only son of the king of Thailand and is the heir to the throne.

Royal visit

Friday lunch came a couple that seems like Thais to me. They came to book a table for some VIPs on Saturday night. They spent more than 1 hour just to discuss on the table arrangement and menus and everything else. On Saturday night, the VIPs came. Who are they? They are the Prince and Princess of Thailand. Never in my life, I thought I will see this situation. There were securities everywhere. Just before the Prince and Princess came, their assistants came 1 hour earlier to check and arrange everything. The royals arrived at 10pm with their guards leading the way and guards standing by the entrance. When the Prince went to the toilet, there were guards standing by the door and they were everywhere. Just like watching a movie. All men in black !

Why ??

On Tuesday, Kiki had a table of 12 guests. There were 4 guys and the rest were girls. Prosititues I would say. Some are young, slim and beautiful and a few are old and white. Very pale looking and ugly. One of them is so skinny, only skin and bones with no meat at all. Oh god. The host spent good money. The bill came to £2800 and he left Kiki £200 tips ! and left receiptionist £50...for doing nothing ! Why...why I never get good tips before?? Why? The most I ever get was £125 tips from a table of 3 guests and that was the only time. Last Sunday, Marc got £200 from a table of 4 guests as well. Why this never happen to me?

Am i going to die young?

Saturday night, gosh! the whole restaurant was so packed especially it was 1st of march when everyone got their salary on the last day of February. I was running like headless chicken. I didnt even have time to pee. Running halfway, I can feel that my heart was burning and everytime I breath, I can feel a shary pain on my heart. God, what was wrong with me?

Alcoholic man

On the same Friday night, a table of 2 Arabic men spent some much on alcohol. One of them ordered a double gin and tonic and he said it tasted like single. He must be an alcoholic. So, I gave him a double double gin. They are friendly and nice people, they spent good money and of course, I was expecting something from them. At the end of their meal, they paid and after, they started to look through every single details of the bill. One of the men closed the bill folder without putting any tips in it. I was disspointed and when they left, I didnt say bye or thanks to them. But I was wrong, I found £20 tips in the foler for me. I felt happy and guilty at the same time because I didnt thank them when they left.

My 1st tips from a French man

Last night, Friday I had a table of 3. 1 French man and a couple, French woman and her bf, I don't think is French. They were quiet friendly. At one point, they started to tell me a story. They said their donkey passed away last night and it was 28 years old. One of them said he grew up with the donkey because they are the same age and the donkey was more than a brother to him. They did the burial and some prayers for the donkey the day before and now they are celebrating the donkey's life. I was busy at that time and not interested to listen to the rest of their 'jokes'. Everytime I went near the table, they tried to get my attention. But I was busy, so I got my commis to do all the job for me. And my commis became their next 'victim' to listen to their bullsh*t. Before they left, the French man left me £10. This is the first time, I see tips from French people.

2 girls and 1 boy

Yesterday, Friday lunch I has a table of 2 girls and 1 guy. I dont know where they from but from their accent, definitely not English people. I was very annoyed at them. One girl arrived first and she ordered some drinks immediately. 1 minute later, the couple came and they reminded me about the drinks again. I said, yes I got the order and the barman is preparing them. Less than 3 minutes later, they reminded me again. What the f***. Hello, I am busy ok and don't have time to entertain you people. They talked so loud, they laughed like nobody business and I was so irratated with their behaviour. I was not bothered to give good service. So, I sent all their food at the same go and I was not bothered to clean their table or change their plates either. They ordered a dozen of fresh oysters and the man started to tell me how he got so 'excited' and he had 2 girls with him at the moment and bla bla bla. The girls drank so much and were drunk. In one word, they annoyed me at lot! But at the end of their attics, one thing that gave me a smile was a £20 tips. They gave £20 for bad service..hehehe

Pork belly hamburger

Thursday night, I had a table of 5 big, fat American guys who ate like p*g and had dozens of beers. They were annoying and their big beer belly took up so much space. As I tried to serve food to their table, I was struggling because the arrogant men were too busy bitching with each other. They stayed until 1am and it was the last table. I don't mind to stay so late as long as they leave me big fat tips. At the end of the night, they paid with 5 different cards ! That took me 5 minutes to finish up the whole payment. One of the guy took out £2o and put on the table. Then his friend asked him what's that for and he insisted that service charge is already included in the bill. "£$%^*@#
