"Is it ever acceptable not to tip?" ala Consumerist
2008-10-14 09:12:00 Being that the “to tip or not to tip” question is so prevalent when people are out to eat, it’s a bit surprising that they’ve not posted an article about the topic before, at least not this exact topic. Well, now that the New York Times had an article about it, Consumerist followed suit. Reading ...
Quick response to some of the commenters (too many for individuals)
2008-10-11 08:25:00 Slag: I personally enjoy my style of typing with dots. As for “sounding off” to the new GM when he inevitably comes, we don’t do that ourselves, we let the regional vp do that himself. The leaders of the front of the house (cocktail, bar, waitstaff, service support) and the leaders of the kitchen, are ... More About: Quick , Individuals , Response
New job in my future?
2008-10-10 08:04:00 I guess I was a slight bit vague in my post this morning, talking about the possible future unemployment of the Ribeye. Here’s what’s going on: As you all know, if you’ve read any of my old posts, I work in a corporate atmosphere. As such, there are certain rules that I must follow, whether I agree ...

New posts coming
2008-10-09 16:45:00 Just to let everyone know I’m still alive, there is a new post coming tonight. Been some drama at work lately, to the point that the Ribeye may no longer be employed at the “Restaurant that shant be named”. In the case that I do lose my gainful employment, I’m going to blast said “Restaurant ... More About: Posts
Incompetence, Whining, Substance Use, and an awesome freaking Trainee!
2008-09-29 12:31:00 That’s been the theme of the last week at work, starting from last Tuesday…even longer when you count the incompetence part…and the substances have been going on for a bit too. At any rate, I’m going to start with last Tuesday…. I’d gone in early to teach a day one training class to the one trainee ... More About: Awesome , Incompetence , Trainee

How Managers Decimate a Servers Money and Morale
2008-09-23 12:05:00 Well, the title is a bit…open ended as this post is only going to have a couple of the ways managers tend to destroy servers, at least in a corporate setting. Everyone knows that I’m not in a fine dining or independently owned atmosphere so I can’t say how the following things are handled ... More About: Money , Morale , Servers , Managers
Football season has truly arrived
2008-09-21 11:59:00 It’s arrived for everyone not working in the bowling alley that is. On the weekends, any time there is a game, the game room and dining room are packed full of people and we make damn good money. Tonight was no exception, and it makes me wonder why I’m being forced to work in the ... More About: Football , Season
How to make a better Strawberry Daquiri
2008-09-19 13:35:00 In going with the theme of the last post about my new drink, I’m going to tell you about my change to the classic strawberry daquiri. As I said, one of my managers had called my shot “Gut Rot”, along with giving me some other tips. Well, last night, I put one of his tips ... More About: Strawberry , Make
Mellow Apple anyone?
2008-09-19 13:18:00 Hey everyone, been a bit I know but it’s been slow at work and there’s not been much to report on that front…and I’ve been playing around a bit with my little camera too so that’s taken up a bit of my time.

Working on a few things
2008-09-14 11:26:00 I know I promised new material, and I’m working on that new material, so there should be a new post up by Monday. To be honest, there just hasn’t been much to post about this week, and I needed a longer break than I’d been taking between posts to get things ready. New theme should ...

2008-09-09 04:33:00 Yes yes, I know, I’m a little late on the upkeep, but at least I’m getting it up only a day late as opposed to a month! It’s been a long time since I started blogging.

Labor Day
2008-09-03 02:50:00 I went into the racial issues a little in the last post, about what happens after 8 pm. Holidays are different. Holidays are unpredictable. Holidays just plain fucking suck, and Labor Day 2008 was no different. When I got to work, I knew the day shift had been busy. School was out, and when ...
Labor Day Weekend brings Racial tension to a head and makes me lose mine
2008-09-01 11:04:00 I’m just plain done working them. Someone always ends up calling out “sick” and fucking the rest of us who diligently show up for our jobs despite our lack of sleep, the kitchen inevitably crashes due to everything coming in at once, and the managers are generally useless. Tonight was no different. Talk ... More About: Weekend , Tension , Labor , Mine , Head
?Bring me some Bailey?s?
2008-06-07 19:07:00 As you all know from a couple of posts ago, I had a “fun” weekend last week. Issues with the Expo line, stupid guests, lots of little slutty looking girls that didn’t look old enough to drive much less act like they were and wear what they did. I saw more camel toes last weekend ... More About: Bailey
Sleeping and Driving is not a good mix
2008-06-07 17:27:00 Hey everyone. I know I promised you a post earlier in the week but things happen sometimes to prevent that.

When GM?s try to Expo
2008-06-04 08:25:00 This post has been too long in coming, and for that I apologize. Working two jobs is Hell on my schedule. This past weekend, we got busy.

Exact Change Bastards
2008-05-23 23:03:00 The past few days at work, I’ve had a lot of trashy rednecks in town. I don’t know where they’re all coming from, and I don’t really care as long as they leave as soon as fucking possible. I can only handle so much of these fuckers counting out exact change, to the fucking penny ... More About: Change

The Forgotten Works of RagingServer
2008-05-06 11:22:00 Back in the beginning of RagingServer.com, I did a lot of advertising, and a LOT of posting. For three months before RagingServer, I blogged from the now defunct myserverblog.com. Some of the posts from that time have never been read by any of you, even with the archives links posted. These are some really underestimated ... More About: Works , Forgotten
Pissed off Fibromyalgiapods
2008-05-05 23:59:00 In this case, it’s just one pissed off Fibromyalgiapod. Forget for a minute all you’ve heard about Fibromyalgia. Forget that it strikes mostly at middle aged women. Forget that they can’t take NSAIDS like Ibuprofen because they are suddenly allergic when they need pain relief. Forget that many in the healthcare profession, including the originator of ...

Stupidity and Intelligence, and an Embarrassed Ribeye, all in one double!
2008-05-05 12:07:00 I worked another double shift today (Sunday 5/4). I wasn’t planning on doing it, but I picked up for Miz J this morning because she helped me out Thursday night.
