...c'mon parents

Being a server, you deal with a variety of people..old and young (real old and real young).

I'm going to focus on the young at the time being, maybe more or so their parents.  PARENTS - why do you think it's acceptable for your child to make a complete mess of the surrounding area [not just the top of your table]?!  OR wipe condiments on the table without cleaning it up?  Seriously, the people serving you are trying help you out and let you enjoy an outing with your family - it's a slap in the face in the end!

I wish I would have taken a picture of the mess I had to clean up yesterday.  Don't get me wrong, I love serving - I really do.  BUT I do not like being a janitor.  I had fruit, crackers, meat, and chips all over the place..and when I say ALL over I mean even at the surrounding tables where they were not eating.  C'mon people!  It just makes me wonder what the inside of their house looks like!

Okay enough with the venting...

Now for the older people.  You guys' make our day at times.  It's so nice to see people come in who are realistic and fun.  I had a few regulars come in yesterday who I had not seen in months!  It was a wonderful surprise.  They asked about Emry and what I have been doing and I asked about their grandchildren and what they have been up to...etc. etc.

 It's funny how we can all make a difference in someones day, and it's something we should try to do daily.  It could simply just be saying hello and smiling or helping an elderly woman bring the groceries to her car... Some people need that positive energy/support in their lives!

Even though it's a little blurry, I though I'd share this photo of my babe.  She looks so old...purse and everything yesterday [her doing].  ENJOY!
