Like, my servers at the restaurant treat me more like one of the gang than the actual boss. I’ll tell them fifteen different times to switch up the playlist—or I'll just go ahead and do it myself—but fifteen minutes later, they’re right back to their old habits. And then you’ve got these older folks sitting out on the patio, trying to enjoy themselves, while the music is just thumping away like crazy. It’s so disrespectful. I’ll ask them to go clean the restrooms, and instead, they just sit there and light up a cigarette.😠
Look, I’m not really the type of person who wants to go around barking orders and playing drill sergeant just to keep order, but if I’m the one paying your wages, and I’m being fair to you by giving you perks that literally no other boss would ever dream of allowing, then for heaven's sake, just put in some effort.🙄
Just yesterday, this waitress was opening up the cafe in the morning, and I sat down at the counter for a second just to clear my head and catch my breath, and she actually sits right down next to me and asks me to make *her* a coffee.😲
..well, I think you should tell them that people are sitting on the patio who aren't enjoying their music choices, and that they shouldn't undo what you've already set if they can't realize on their own that the vibe isn't right..plus, the bathroom shouldn't be filled with cigarette smoke. They can sit down once their work is actually done! As for the whole coffee thing, maybe you should have asked her: "Should I just take over your job so you can go find something else?" ..you guys can be perfectly nice, but people still need to know who's in charge... I used to work in service and I'm still on great terms with all my old bosses, but everyone knew that if I messed up, I'd have to deal with the consequences... you just have to explain that to them, and don't worry, they won't hate you or anything.. you've gotta show a little backbone! 🙂

At least that would have been my first thought.. 🙂
😁 😁
I feel the same way sometimes. I'll start yelling, "I'm pregnant!" just to get someone to bring me this or that, basically just to remind them in case they forgot. 😬
Honestly, being pregnant has become my excuse for everything 😁
But what gets on my nerves most is the constant peeing. Getting up twice a night because of it, the waking up... I hate going to the bathroom! 😠
God forbid I go overboard on watermelon in the evening (since I absolutely love it), then I'd probably need a cup right next to my bed.
Yesterday I polished off over 4 pounds of watermelon, and today I only had to get up three times. 🙂
..it crossed my mind too, but he was seriously asking if the baby was alive... because I answered him by saying, "Of course it is, it's kicking like crazy!".. and he just goes: "Ah, so you feel it regularly, okay good!" ..honestly, it was like he thought I was some kind of idiot... he's always been a bit of a character, thinking he's the smartest guy in the room who knows everything, so I guess he was just trying to act smart again.😠
