An entitled Karen makes my life a living nightmare when she walks in with her party of eight into our restaurant and starts making crazy demands that I just simply couldn't keep up with.

0:09.7

And after dealing with literally 10 other tables around me, as well as being short staffed the entire night, I finally hit my breaking point.

0:16.4

And now I seriously don't know what to do.

0:18.6

Here's what happened. So I just woke up after the worst

0:21.1

night I've ever had. I work at a dive restaurant or sports bar in a smaller town, and between

0:26.4

high school sports and homecoming season and football season, we get our butts handed to us.

0:31.6

Lately, we've been short staff with three servers when we should have about six at our disposal.

0:36.4

We'll also only have one to two hosts

0:38.8

when we need more specifically to handle to-goes and busing the tables. So anyways, I get to work

0:44.6

yesterday at 4 o'clock p.m. And the place is an absolute disaster. Only two servers were there

shift cleaning everybody else's tables while also pre-buscing and running food. The night shift only

1:05.7

had me and two other servers, one being a double. Well, finally I get get my first table, and from there, the night goes

1:11.8

south really quickly. One server is single-handedly taking on every single table in the front of

1:16.8

the restaurant, while me and the other server split the entire back section of the restaurant.

1:21.2

And guess what? We fill up again. I had so many tables at one point, I was literally running back

1:26.2

and forth from the kitchen.

1:32.0

All the while, we have nothing stocked up, we have nothing clean, silverware is being rolled after the host sits ten tables without it, and I just feel like my whole back was in shock.

1:36.6

But everything changes when they walk in.

1:38.9

The most evil table in the entire world.

1:41.2

It's an eight top.
