You created your own monster

I have to say it is really cool to have people tell you that they loved having you serve them and they look forward to seeing you next time when they request you. Hell, it lets you know that you did a good job, but what about the times you did a good job and didn't mean to? In other words, what about that table that just sucks, they are needy, don't tip well, are annoying and don't understand that you have other tables, and you do such a good job in their eyes that they want to request you the next time. Now you just blew it, you took what was the perfect opportunity to fuck things up and this time you just had to do it right and now they look forward to seeing you. It happens, I can't even count how many "regulars" that come to the restaurant who request certain people, yet the minute we all see them walk through the door, we utter under are breath "Oh shit!" There is no way out, hell, it's like being in a gang, the only way out is to die! You realize that your night just went from utter crap to oh god my life is hell! Yeah, sure they may be nice people, or they have a sad story, but you know they don't tip well, and the like to run the bill up. Is there a way out, can I come to work in disguise, would they believe me if I switch name tags and said I'm my own brother who looks just like me, but look I have a different name, or would hiding in the back, hoping they don't ask for me this time work? Nope! Oh well, I guess there will always be those people, but really what did I do that was so special, last time I checked I was rude and forgot about you.
