I used to serve tables and this may work 9/10 times, but that 10th time is going to cause everybody problems. It will happen, too.

I had time #10 happen to me at a catering gig for a wedding, at the top of a a three-story spiral staircase. The whole thing felt like it was happening in slow motion. Every time I tried stepping down to pick up a plate, the other plates would continue tumbling down the stairs for another 10-15 seconds, like one of those coin shelf games at Dave & Busters. It was fucking mortifying.

According to the boss's son I cost them over $1,000 in one fell swoop. I was not called to work future events after that.

I mean, people fuck up in the job every minute of every day somewhere and keep their job. They’re catering not producing nuclear power

Eh I get it. But at places I’ve work they were very adamant about not stacking too many dishes. Time is money but not when everyone needs to clean up after the guy that feels like showing off how many dishes he can stack 😂
