Hook It Up

The kind of person that asks to be "hooked up," is the kind of person you don't want to serve.

This is the kind of person that thinks the world owes them something. This happens so often, often enough, I need to write a blog post about it.

Sometimes I do hook people up but its only when I feel like doing it. What the customer doesn't understand is that I'm not obligated to "hook he/she up" in any way. It's not part of my job. In fact, it's against every rule of my job.

In order for me to hook someone up they have to be really awesome, they have to have something about them that just makes me want to give them free stuff. You have to woo me in some way or another if you want free stuff.

When I have customers that are really polite. I always do my best to make their time pleasant. Mostly because those customers are so rare and I want them to come back again to save me from the horrible curse of regulars that flood our dining room nightly.

The majority of the poeple that walk through those double doors don't have what it takes i'm sorry to say.

One should never have to ask to be "hooked up." If you have to ask, it's no longer being hooked up, it's begging.

Many things annoy me at work but nothing more than this.

If you had an awesome personality maybe I would want to help you out and give you some chips and salsa or a stronger drink. But the second you ask to be "hooked up," its a red flag.

If you need to ask to be "hooked up" that means that you're pretentious and you have no money. No server, anywhere, will want to serve you.
