Day twenty.

More often than not when someone hears that I'm a server the first question that comes out is "have you seen Waiting?!" To which I respond, "yes."

Most people who have never been in the service industry assume they know how it works for having seen this movie:

There is some degree of truth to it but there isn't any tampering with food at (insert real name here) or sex in the bathroom or male staff showing each other their genitals. It just doesn't happen like that. 


There is one thing that hold true though. Steak. We sell a lot of Steak at (insert real name here) and quite often it comes out wrong. Now, most of the time when it comes out wrong is due to the fact that most people have no idea what the difference is between medium rare, or medium or medium well and so forth. Here's a little chart to show the difference:

The rest of the time when a steak comes back is because the broil cook screwed it up by not paying attention or for the sure fact that he or she doesn't know how to cook meat. It's frustrating as a server because my tip depends on the broil cook's ability to make a steak right.
