Overweight People Are Bad For The Environment said:
Once the anti-smoking lobby wins the war against smokers they'll go after fat people. This is just laying the ground work.
The lifestyle Nazis are fighting the long fight. If they ever win the war against fat people, don't think that the rest of us aren't gonna be next.
That said, when obesity becomes a leading indicator of poverty, something funny is going on.

I Don't Like Tap Water said:
Yep, or the whole idea of extra veggie with the meal, dessert.. Soup AND salad. AND DIET SODA!?
Next time someone asks for the bottled water, remind them (especially if they are men) the high amounts of chemicals in the plastic producing female hormone estrogen levels to rise among men. Maybe they'll switch back to the fluoride tap water...?
Or just fill a bottle of water with TAP and see if they notice??

"
Enjoy your weekends and holidays off. Enjoy your 9 to 5 days. Enjoy your free lunches with "a client". Just don't expect me to cover your ass and become a banker for you."
I've want to shout this many a times for every reason imaginable! I feel your pain.

Bore My Ass to Sleep said:
Yep. Teaspoons are always the problem. Small enough to get into guests pockets, staff bags and once we found them in the garbage bin...likely culprit being the steward who 1) was getting his revenge on the service staff or 2) to lazy to clean them and decides to throw them away.

I Tried To Get The Check Signed But... said:
Wow! That's crazy. Did you at least get paid for the non-last-minute arrivals? If not, that's theft of services. In my state after $500 you can sic the police on them. :)

Reminder:
Guest Bloggers Wanted!
Yes, that's right. Guest blogging month is back and it starts August 1st.
I did this last November and the response was great. Now it happens again!!!
I'm looking for anyone that's interested in writing an original article or story to post on this blog. I've had great success in my short time on the web and think it's time I gave a little back to the people that have made it all possible, my readers.
Rules for submission of all stories:
- Must be original and not edited, or stolen, from another post somewhere
- Must be funny
- Must not contain any foul language (at least nothing worse than what you've read here)
- Must be related to banquets, food, waiters, kitchen, etc.
That's it. I want to add 1 great post each week for the month of August so get your pencils ready and write away. Email all submissions to: soyouwanttobeabanquetmanager@gmail.com.
This email address is only open to accept your posts so please, no spam. You have all of July to get your stories in but do it fast...
Preference will be given to the friends I've made so far that are included in my sidebar links as well as all my "assistant banquet managers". But don't worry...if your story is better than theirs, you get in. The lucky winners get their story posted with a link back to your blog. Remember - I have a Google PR 4 and rank #1 in Yahoo. (not a bad link, right?)
Once again, thanks for your support and send me your best story right away.
