Hi I am Lexi and I am an 18 year old full time student and waitress. I started this blog to share my crazy work stories for everyone to enjoy!

  • Sunday Not So Fun Day
    Whoever thought it was a good idea to have someone work till close and help open the next day needs a slap in the face. I crawled out of bed like a zombie rising from the grave. With my eyes just barely open, I stumbled into the kitchen and made myself a coffee. I looked at the clock and saw it was 7 am. All I could think to myself is, “why!”. I didn’t get home until 12:30 in the morning and by the time I had showered, ate something and got to bed, it was about 1 in the…More
  • I Quit?
    Last week I went into Texas Roadhouse to talk to the owner. I had gotten a stress contusion in my foot and was unable to put pressure on it. I was told by my doctor to rest, ice, and elevate. While I was there one of my friends wanted to get dinner so I told her to meet me there. She said yes and came in. Little flashback, recently I got my best friend to start waitressing with me about a month ago and she was working that night. This will become important later.  I came in, ate, and released…More
  • Moving My Way Up
    I was hired at my restaurant in August of 2020. I was hired as a host and started my training. My first day was horrible. I was trained on seating, which is taking people to their seat and knowing table numbers. The girl that trained me went really fast, and I was lost the whole night. The second night, I was trained on updating, which is where you set the tables for the guests. This was a way better night. The girl that trained me was so sweet and kind. The third night was names and call aheads. This was…More
  • Nauseating Coworkers
    Nothing makes me more mad than people who don’t do their jobs. I can’t stand it! No Phone Zone If your phone consumes your life, you have a problem. You should be able to set your phone down for a few hours to do your job. For instance, when appetizers come up in the window, there will be five people standing around on their phones not doing anything, this is frustrating because everyone else is running their food while they are locked in on their phones. Please, for the love of my sanity, put your phone away and run your…More
  • Love Is Dead
    Waking up on February 14 and being single, is really not that bad. Getting a valentine from my mom was all I needed. My day was already frustrating, I had to make up a test that took my whole lunch period, I was scheduled to go into work at 3pm, which is impossible because I get out of school at 2:50 and with traffic, the earliest I could get there was 3:30, so I headed to work hangry and frustrated. I went in with a positive attitude. I was ready to make some money off of people celebrating a glorified…More
