Memories.....
you brought back a few gems.....
the hostess that is footing the catering bill with her brother for their mother's 80th and she has a passel of children with no concept of people working in their kitchen not time for a PBJ
Same with the brother who's groosing about paying and then drops the hodos on the floor as he's scavaging throught the fridge....not drunk just obnoxious....there was food on platters throughout the kitchen he could have filtched from..... or the rain or the lack of lighting around the buffet....or the "regular staff" that was peeved when they got a glance at my bill and saw it was many times more than they charge
The A/c that goes out in the midst of a formal dinner.
*The kosher buffet that is paid for by an out of towner that owns a BBQ chain and she has sent a late deposit. The in-laws to be are not orthodox and don't understand kosher <nor try to> and are totally RUDE about respecting a kosher home. The host wants good plastic plates, some of the guests make REALLY base comments about using plastic for a dinner.
The dogs I work around are not yippers just BIG...
The cats on the counters....
I was thinking more about walking into an office situation without a kitchen when I wrote it, but you got me started on home shtuff.
What became obvious was that the restaurant guys had no time frame....they did not realize that if a party starts at noon, you gotta set up an area prior to service.
I took a cart down the street to a party and the wind blew tapenade everywhere.... I'm so glad they were heavy in hodos anyway. |
