Waitress Rant~ Respect Other Customers Please!

Sometimes we have some funny stuff happen in the cafe that just makes me wonder about people.  Last weekend we had this guy sit down and his back was pretty much towards the 80% of the cafe and guess what he had plumbers crack BIG TIME.  EWWWW I know but I couldn't bring myself to tell him to cover his ASS.  I could tell several customers were laughing and others were ready to gag so I went to the owners son and asked him to say something to the dude.  He said no problem and went over to let plumber crack man know about the show he was giving to the other customers and they guy told him "so what"...huh?  Really you don't care that you are offending people with your hairy butt?  The owners son of course didn't like his comment or attitude so asked him if he could place a coat on the chair and the guy said fine but within 10 minutes put the coat back on.  At this point I knew he was just doing it to get a reaction and wasn't respecting others.  I went and put my coat on his chair, smiled and walked away.  He was fine the rest of the time and then when he left he lit up a cigarette right outside the front door and irritated more customers.  I was in the WTF mode with him at this time and walked outside and asked him to walk down a ways so the smoke didn't come into the cafe.  He was irritated but at this point I was more concerned about the other customers and their experience at the cafe then his!

I try my hardest to be the best waitress and I've been told I am but I'm not tooting my own horn.  Anyhoo, sometimes its just plain hard to please people.  You know there is people out there that no matter what you do you just can't make happy.  I try my best and that's all I can do.  Then we have the best customers EVER and you wish they would come in everyday just to make this job so much better.  Overall at the cafe I work our customers ROCK and they are the reason I do what I do with a smile on my face.

Slap Koozies Review- Fun Product!

I received this cool product to review in the mail last week and I had to put my name on it FAST because I saw the vultures (kids and hubby) eyeing and wanting it!  I use it everyday now- probably don't need to but hey its FUN!


I use it for my coffee cup, water bottle, and other drinks that I want the kids to LEAVE ALONE- I say  "See it says MOM so it's not yours"  I'm sure Slap Koozies  didn't design this product so I could keep my family away from my beverages but that is how I'm using it!  My kids LOVE to drink from my cups all the time, not sure why- maybe just to mess with me!  Plus when I had a iced coffee drink the other day I put it on and my hands didn't get cold when I drank it.  


I also see how this would be a great way to brand a product.  If I had a company I would buy these for my employees with the company's logo on it! You can buy in bulk and customize the slap koozies! 

From Slap Koozies website


The SlapKooler™ band is a banded 'slap koozie' beverage insulator that you can 'slap' on your can, bottle, arm, leg, friends, or people you just meet.

I've Been Banned From Using the Word "Play Date"

My 10 yr old son last night informed me NOT to call his "hanging out with his friends" PLAY DATES anymore. Oh... my bad!  Yesterday, I asked a dad if we could get our kids together for a play date and my son kicked me.  I thought at first he didn't want me asking but then the look on his face made me think...WTH did I say wrong! So when we got back home he informed me how embarrassing I was asking for a "playdate".  Hold on Buddy...I've been using PLAY DATE for years now and didn't realize play date sounded so babyish to you until now.  I asked him what he would rather have me say and "hanging with his friends" was the response I got.  Hmmmm... so I guess next time I will say "Mr. K can our boys HANG OUT soon"   Just wait my son,  I'm sure there are going to be far more times I embarrass you and I will do it with a smile on my face just like my parents did!

Review: Eraselet- Bracelet Eraser

REVIEW: I have to say what a cute product. Erasers are always being lost at our house- not even sure where they go but hey these Eraselets have worked wonders all week.  I even caught my 10 yr old using one the other night when he told me earlier those are too babyish for him.  I showed my daughter to turn it inside out and use a finger to help erase, it took her a couple times but now she is PRO!   She wore a couple the other to school and when she came home she didn't have any on, she gave them out.  I recommend Eraselet Braclet Eraser!

Want to WIN your own Eraselets:  ENTER HERE

REVIEW- Ouidad Climate Control Frizz & Flyaway Fighter

I received a sample of Climate Control Frizz and Flyaway Fighter and  Climate Control Shampoo and Conditioner.  I have to say I really love this product.  I used it for both my hair and Lil Mama's hair.  If you have Curly Hair please try Ouidad products I know you won't be disappointed.  

My hair is so long and thick  right now that I get mad everyday trying to style it so its usually in a rubber band on top of my head.   The past 3 days (since using these products) my hair hangs so nice and NOT FRIZZY!  Yesterday,  I went to the grocery store and 4 people came up and told me  "What beautiful hair you have"  one lady even touched it and said she always wished for hair like mine.  My hubby even noticed the NO FRIZZ and asked what I did different.  Sorry to say I'm not going to post pics because I don't like having my picture taken with my double chins, LOL!   With the compliments I've received I'm going to tell you that it works just wonderfully on my thick wavy long hair! 

Now my daughter's hair is a big thorn in my butt because everyday it starts dreading up no matter what, so its usually in pony tails or braids.  I love her hair down but it takes a lot of work and within a couple hours its all dreaded and frizzy again.  Yesterday,  I washed her hair with the Climate Control Shampoo & Conditioner then combed through it with no fight!  When I was done I sprayed the Control Frizz and Flyaway fighter and BAM this is what she looked like!  We all loved her hair!  All night I was saying "Oh I love your hair".  When she got up this morning I just had to spray some water and the Frizz control on it and she was ready to go!  That hasn't happen all school year!  

I highly recommend Climate Control Frizz and Flyaway Fighter and Ouidad's Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo /Ouidad Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner .
