Clock into work

Smile.

Hi. Today I’ll be your server

Yeah I’ll take water, no lemon

Excuse me ma’am, I need more ranch

Oh and I drank my third coke, can I ever get a refill?

Smile.

How long have you been working here? You must be new

Smile.

Here’s five dollars for your trouble…

Even though my bill was 100

Just try to smile.

Is my food ever going to come out?

I mean how hard is your job?

Smile.

This steak is undercooked; you tried to make me sick

Well, I don’t cook the food

I want to speak to a manager

Sure. Smile.

You were the best server we’ve ever had. Thank you for making our night special

Genuine smile.

I ate my food but it wasn’t good, I want it off the bill

Oh, and you were terrible.

Attempting a smile.

Last time we were here our food took forever and was not good

Hey little girl, go get me some napkins

I need two cheesecakes to go, and can you hurry?

Finally clock out

Smile.

(poems go here)
