Which CRACK are You???

Some days I am a crack head, some days I am a crack fiend, and some days I just plain want to crack, and everyday...we are crack peddlers...let me explain...

First we will start with the crack head...I am this Crack most of the time. But I am this way naturally...I constantly run around like Im crazy!! Well, truth be told, I kind of am. You sort of have to be to have my job. You are constantly dealing with hundreds of customers in and out of your restaurant...plus your 20+ employees on staff who all seem to call your name at the same time. Restaurants are organized chaos...I LOVE how it all just falls together...

It only falls together if you have the right crack head on the job...

Second we have the Crack fiend. This is almost everyday that you are not a crack head. You come to this job two different ways...rested and rejuvenated or just plain pooped. These days you are a crack fiend...Starbucks, Monsters, Rock Stars (Purple is my favorite), Redbull, Amp'd, coffee...you name it and we want it...like I said before...you have to be a crack head to do this job...

My days go sooooo much better with a vanilla latte from Starbucks...EXTRA vanilla...it is amazing how a little gas can get you a long way...hint hint

Third lets get to those days that you want to just crack

Those days suck.

They are few and far between....but like I have said in previous blogs...when it rains, it pours...

Let me give you my list of things that will make me crack:

#1 Certain servers that shall remain nameless...if you have to question yourself if you are on that list...you probably are
#2 Calling for food runners and no one listening
#3 Laziness
#4 Stupid questions
#5 comps
#6 voids
#7 anyone who approaches me and starts it off with, "don't be mad at me, but..." or "Ok, so it is not as bad as it seems..." or "ok, Im an idiot"

ok...moment of truth...if you admit that you are an idiot...Im not so bothered by it

#8 People who complain for the sake of complaining
#9 Negativity
#10 THE DAMN PHONE...I HATE HEARING IT RING...JUST ANSWER IT

The unpredictable part about the days that you just want to crack is that it can be all of the above mentioned things...or none of them...but for me, it is mostly just #10...when I am having stressful days that always seems to be the thing that just sets me off...that is my trigger

And finally let me explain the crack peddlers that we are...We support a children's hospital at work...it is a great cause...so we sell our servers crack...we not really, but we have Monsters, Rockstars, Redbulls, and more...

I mean, think about it...our servers come in with energy drinks on a daily basis...so we may as well save sick babies in the process of turning our servers into the crack heads that we need them to be to create our organized chaos!!!
