why hate them?

me when my dad dies: i'm good

edit:

pass i'll just play something good

No man's sky. I want to love that game but I hate managing my shitty ass small inventory.

my first run with V was anti-corpo street kid, so fun to BUST CORPO HEADS the whole game. any time some corpo dickhead was in trouble, "o rly? face meet gorilla arms"

fucking lmao but with a ups uniform

being a UPS worker fucking sucks tho, like yeah absolutely pay those mf well they deserve it but i've known a couple drivers and they work rough schedules and routes.

edit: even for 170k i wouldn't do that shit (plus no weed! could you IMAGINE?!)

in the states at least, waiters (just like everyone else here) are racist as fuck. people backhand shit a lot like "you know i'm not racist against INSERT MINORITY that may or may not tip but THIS table isn't looking good, yaknowwhatimean?"

and me? i'm not really like that, never have been, everyone surprises you in this industry, every table has the potential to be a money table if you just respect the people and their time and make sure they enjoy themselves and their time together. and on the flip any type of person can treat you like shit and not tip you, but if they don't tip me?

meh, that's one table, and i got 6 more to take care of, and a bad tip won't leave much of an impact on me unlike someone's smile when they're really enjoying themselves, or when you keep calling the 70 year old grandma "birthday girl", and she giggles every time. those little things stay with me way more than someone giving me a 5% or 10% tip.

but, again, obviously, those small tips are nothing to be racist about.

and people that are discriminated against pick up on that shit immediately, and also pick up when someone is treating them with genuine kindness. i know this because i've had a bunch of different types of folk tell me so.

edit: i've been drinking so sorry if this seems meandering and silly

edit2: formatting

edit3: my Tikkun Olam is my tables, i guess

a table came in kinda late tonight, muslim woman (she was in some kind of headwrap) with her 3 daughters. she was making a big fuss for the host and the host came up to me after seating them with a kind of eyeroll and a "watch out for her" look.

idk what was going on with the host but lady was a peach. i got her a larger table than she really needed (like a big round 10 top vs a 6 top half-booth) so the rest of her family could be comfortable when they arrived. she asked for coffee, so i started to brew coffee even tho we had already closed down that station, when she protested against that i was like "look it's already dripping so..." and she lit up.

at the end of the meal i asked them some questions, apparently it's the end of ramadan and they were celebrating, so i jokingly congratulated them on surviving the fast and i asked them how to say "goodbye" as it was the end of their meal and we would likely not see each other again. she just laughed and said "goodbye?" and we all cracked up and i bid them goodnight.

i pick up the check as i'm cleaning up the big table and there's a 50% tip on the CC receipt along with a note:

Salam Alaikum

"peace"

This is our greeting. Thanks for excellent service ❤️

i wanted to cry when i picked it up. that's going up on my scrap wall for sure. it's cool what kind of experiences you get when you approach people and their culture with humility and respect.

YES there's an 8 foot high tower of tillamook cheddar in my backyard and i've been holding off the feds for at least 3 days
