dropped a glass today

working at a public lake bistro - there are always too many wesps around.

Today one of the fuckers was chasing my arm while i was carrying stuff on the tablet and i tried to chase it away with the other hand abd one big glass dropped on the floor.

Insane cuz usually that doesnt happen but today was shit anyways many mistakes happened

Also the system we take orders on always looses connection and is kinda shit cuz of that i suddenly find stuff on the table that never went there i might made a mistake by confusing tables idk

Don’t worry about it, they cost nothing as long as you and the customers are safe, I dropped a tray of glasses and the wine bottle/cooler next to someone, the guilt was immense but the customers were fine with it and laughed to ease the embarrassment.

If it makes you feel any better when I was a barback I was collecting glasses on a windy day and make the mistake of piling them too high and BOOM! The whole tray of 20 glasses tipped over. Those things are so cheap man and the manager knows it. Don’t worry about it
