To all you inconsiderate bastards:

You are hungry and you want to come in for a meal. But you know very well that the restaurant closes at 12am yet you still have the gut to come in when we were just about to close. Didn’t you see the sulky expressions drawn all over our faces? Yes we did not welcome you a single bit because we were tired and we wanted to go home. But our mean boss wanted to make the most out of your pocket and we had no choice but to serve all you hungry fools. Did I tell you that we don’t get paid for the extra hours we stayed for you?

That’s ok. We served you in the most courteous way we possibly could because we wanted you to have a satisfying meal and then go back to your mama’s home and leave us alone. But you didn’t, all you fools. We cleared your plates away and you made a terrible mess on the table. You were not the least bit apologetic but instead, you actually found it quite amusing and even gave us the dirtiest laugh ever.

That’s ok. We’ll do the cleaning up. We hinted to you by asking if you need anything else. You know we didn’t mean it. We wanted you to ask for the bill but for mama’s sake you asked for another bottle of wine. How could you still sit there and drink away like nobody business? Poor tiring feet of ours, we have been standing and running around for more than 10 hours and at this time we could have gone home to rub our sore feet but we couldn’t because of you. All you inconsiderate bastards.

So, you, you, and you. Next time please, in the name of God’s mercy I beg you, if you want to have a meal in a restaurant please show your compassion by being a little more considerate. We’ll thank you like a saviour. It’s only a cheap job we have, why still want to add misery to our already pathetic working life?

But I guess you will never be able to understand our frustrations unless you were in our shoes.

That is why, I don’t like all of you.

Byebye.

    Oh dear.. As one of those people who occasionally walk into restaurants 10 minutes before they close, I would like to apologise profusely for the trouble we put you through. Although I do make a point of being polite to those who serve us, and make sure I tip nicely too if I’m making them work overtime.
    Many apologies again!!

    I waited table before and it is never a fun job. The money isn’t a lot but the amount of resentment u have to take is uncountable. Thats why i always have mercy when it comes to tipping. It always reminds me of those rainy days.

    Dear Anonymous, apology accepted. =) We would love to provide you an enjoyable evening all we r asking for is weeny bit of consideration. I had experienced customers came in at 1145pm and ordered a banquet of 4-course meal. I almost strangled them with the dirty apron my chef wore. Today I behaved slightly better, I only threw my supper into the bin without touching it. Stomach was instantly filled with fuming gas.

    Cat: This trading in The States and UK is different. Let’s just say it’s a different market niche, our pay is almost equivalent to many professional fields, minus the status.
