"All my years of education boil down to this ~ May I take your order?" I love the service industry and working in Las Vegas make pretty great money for slinging drinks and bringing people food. This is a collection of stories from my day to day experiences at work.

Get your sh*t ready!
You're out at the pool laying out, relaxing, drinking, people watching and the waitress comes and you order a drink. She says "It will be $12 when I come back". That means "Have $12 ready for me when I come back!". As much as I enjoy being outside and watching drunk people make fools of themselves, I really don't appreciate waiting for you to finish your phone call then rummaging through your over sized purse to find your wallet that you have inside of a Ziploc back to prevent it from getting wet while I am standing in front of you with a full tray of drinks and the sun beating down on me. GET YOUR SH*T Ready! You aren't the only person out here! Other people are waiting too and their drinks are melting on MY TRAY!! You're probably the person too that says "wow that took a long time" when you're done with your phone call. What I really wish I could reply is "Yeah I'm sorry you waited so long but nobody before you had their $$ ready when I dropped off their drinks so it really slowed me down". My hero is one of the girls out at the pool who when asked "How long will it take you to bring my drinks if I order" responded with "I'm not really sure. It depends on how many more people stop me to ask me how long it will take to bring their drinks!". I wish I had the balls.
