Job Duties

• Waiter

What Dan Remembers...

• On my first day on the job, we had a power outage, which knocked out the computerized system to enter food orders. The system didn't work again until the day I quit. Coincidence? Methinks not...
  
• Only I could manage to spill two margaritas on the same woman within a five-minute span.
  
• I grossly underestimated how quickly chocolate would pour out of a bottle, as I managed to land half a bottle of chocolate onto a customer's sundae. Most waiters would probably trash it and start over again; I put a cherry on top and served it.
  
• Tuesday night was karaoke night. "Livin La Vida Loca" was the big single at the time. Put the two together, and you have a recipe for several words than end in -icide.
  
• The most dreaded words in the English language for a waiter: "Excuse me sir, today is my friend's birthday..."
  
• During one instance that I had to *sigh* sing for someone's birthday, I had the "privilege" of putting the sombrero on the birthday boy's head...only to be told I put the sombrero on backwards. Think about that...
  

My Moment of Clarity (a/k/a when I got the hell out)
Realizing that I really sucked as a waiter.

What Dan Learned...
I really sucked as a waiter.
