I dug SO DEEP into them when they'd piss me off and I'd always remind them of how competent I was and how I was glad I was simply an underachiever and not a complete dipshit waste of life who can't handle a friggin' waiter job while telling them I'm sure they'll have great luck in life etc. etc. etc.
I'd dig into the incompetent management staff as well...I'd tell them how terribly they ran the restaurant and how I wasn't paid to run everyone's ****ing food so if they wanted me to run everyone's food like I do every ****ing night they could at least hire hotter, younger girls for me to break down emotionally and eventually try to bang (least they could do)
the only people I would NEVER piss off were the cooks...I learned all the dirty spanish in the world to keep them on my side so they'd always hook me up when in need...that's the 2nd thing I do at a new restaurant (learn the computer first, win over the mexicans second)
looking back at my restaurant career...the only things that ever pissed me off were the incompetent people I worked with...
but I also made SO MANY life long friends over the course of 8 years...I would never trade my restaurant experience for anything...it was such a fantastic learning experience for me.

This post inspired me to grab my computer. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS win over the cooks, and the manager of the cooks.
I would talk about the other servers and managers getting some chorizo when they were being dumb shits. GREAT shit! LOL, too funny. I used to talk some mad mexican racist assed bullshit on those guys and they loved it. I mean they LOVED it! Because they knew me, and talked shit too. I briefly talked about this shit in another thread. Incredible. I really had no idea this was some kind of science that got you your way.
Psychology dude. You're a natural.
