Waiter Rant #1

     I work as a waiter at a popular chain restaurant, a place that goes out of the way to make for a pleasant customer experience. Separate checks? No problem; the system's set up to make that very easy and quick. Special orders, i.e., no mushrooms, no onions, extra cheese, etc...? Also not a problem; we do "mods" all the time. Didn't like the cheese sauce, or were the fries soggy? We'll comp you an appetizer or even a dessert. My employer has been in business for a long time; their food is good, and the ambiance is a few steps above a traditional diner like Shoney's, Denny's, etc. Its' warm, welcoming environment attracts all kinds of people, and the bar scene is usually lively and fun during happy hour.
