I work as a server at a hotel that offers AMAZING benefits (sick pay, vacation days, comprehensive medical/dental/optical/alternative medicine) and probably bring in a little less than I would at one of the more fancy boutique restaurants in my city. However, the benefits of even just medical coverage must factor in,…

I frequently yell corner at the grocery store and get VERY interesting looks, like maybe people think I am narrating my journey in personal shorthand...

Even worse are the people that use one side of a double wide stroller as a vehicle for their ONE child, and the other side as a catch-all purse/cart.

I also worked at an upscale department store as the manager of the in-store cafe. Everyday multiple employees would call to find out the soup of the day, and my very favorite phone call always went this way... "Hi, thank you for calling the _____ Cafe, this is peoplearespecial", "What's the soup of the day",…

at least you weren't the grown woman in my restaurant a few weeks ago who, upon the arrival of her caesar salad, screamed "get it off! get it off! ewww!" in response to the small white anchovy on top...

I will admit that in college we would repurpose leftover keg beer with packets of powdered Tang mix and make the poor man's mimosa - KEYTANG! (Keystone mixed with tang).

I had weekly 90210 parties with my girlfriends. We would make cupcakes and punch and judge every last detail about that show. We were 12-14, and it was the BEST!

I guess there must be a gaggle of yelpers who all know each other, because the thing that drives me crazy is the name dropping of people nobody knows. "Chad had the burger, and you know how he is...", or "Kimmie hates pickles, so you know how THAT went over". Who is Chad? How is he? Why does Kimmie hate pickles? …

ANGRY woman today who could not believe our french fries (accompanying a $19 burger at a luxury hotel in wine country) did not automatically come with ranch. She was upset that she had to "waste her time" to ask for it.

I managed a cafe in an upscale department store based out of Seattle (you do the math), and once had a yelp review from a woman who said I spit in her drink and called her a stupid bitch. Reality: she ordered an iced tea while on her phone and then threw an enormous fit because she didn't think she should wait for…
