The work is labor intensive and dirty... Last night, two customers (girls) on two separate occasions asked me if they can have smoeone else's cake (that was partially eaten) before I cleared a table. I guess it won't kill them to eat some stranger's partially devoured cake. The bartender asked me to change a keg. She had previously asked another bus boy to change it (it was changed by him at that time). Thinking that it still wasn't changed (newly tapped kegs "spit" out beer and air temporarily) asked me to change the Stella Artois (thinking it was still empty). I separated the coupling from the keg and it spewed beer all over me. It was like an oil well that that burst/exploded. I fought, bent over another keg to seal the keg again (while squinting my eyes to avoid the beer). I got it re-sealed after a few trys. I had beer on my "Miller Lite" shirt and on my back. I smelled like beer until my shirt dried. I don't want to go to work tongiht. I wouldn't mind, but the pay just isn't there for being on the fronline supporting the restaurant's operation. <bold>Current Music:</bold> Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/four20/141509.html?mode=reply">Leave a comment</a>)[/quote]
