Geezers

Aww. She looks so disappointed

She gets a carma swing, finally!!!

I actually worked as a server in a nursing home once. One of the worst jobs I ever had. The menus were always limited to two separate plates per course, usually followed with a limited list of dessert, but not always. Naturally, the residents would always be asking for something special off-menu or which was against their dietary restrictions .

Imagine telling some old geezer whose time on earth is limited he can’t have ice cream.

Other residents had really bad Alzheimer’s and would forget that they’d already eaten and come doddering back in for seconds, which often stretched our supplies. The company was really tight with its purse in regards to the food and some of the Mexicans they hired would often take home the leftovers, so there was a lot of incentive in the kitchen to reduce the number of plates doled out.

Even when they weren’t drooling all over themselves, many of the seniors were crotchety, ill-tempered, or depressed on account of being left to rot in a retirement home by their non-visiting relatives, and they liked to take out their frustrations on the wait staff. It was rare to find a senior in a good mood.

And yes, believe it or not, some of them were a bit grab-ass and I don’t just mean with the female waiters.

Again: Worst….job…..ever.

Ugh. Tiff
