I had such an awful day at work today I got yelled at for a really stupid reason, and included in all the yelling was the phrase "This is NOT a Mexican restaurant" (I work in a Chinese restaurant). I was offended and pissed off. I did nothing wrong!!

At the restaurant where I work we have what you call crispy noodles, and they are the equivalent of chips and salsa (at a mexican restaurant, hah) and the reason I got yelled at was because I gave my customers TOO MANY... WTF! I only gave my customers what they ASKED for. I thought the purpose of a server was to keep the customers happy... PLUS what was I supposed to say/do... tell the customers "Sorry but you have eaten too many crispy noodles. THIS IS NOT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT." Seriously. Ughghghghghgh!!

I really need DREAM to pass because my stupid job is going to drive me insane! I have a freakin' college degree YET I'm getting yelled at over serving "too many" crispy noodles.

I hated working at restaurants exactly because of this. People (both the boss and the customer) demean you so much.

Tennis, im not in your shoes but i would def try to look for another job (maybe in another restaurant?) you shouldn't have to take this abuse regardless of status.

I hope things work out

Oh that sucks, too many crispy noodles? Geez.

I worked in a restaurant for a summer, it wasn't fancy, so I had to take orders, serve, and buss the tables too. It was ok when there weren't too many people, but sometimes I was the only server trying to keep six tables happy at the same time.

Now I have a degree and I'm cleaning houses...It's alright, at least I get to make my own schedule and nobody really bothers me.
