Mother's Day
Mother's Day is approaching. The restaurant industry is eagerly awaiting as it is one of the most profitable days of the year. We have all stood in those long lines that go out the door into the street with our mother waiting to have a meal served by an over worked waiter or waitress. If the server looks overworked and rushed you can imagine what the kitchen staff most be going thru. My wife works for a restaurant and on Mother's day instead of starting at 8AM she is starting at 6AM.
Back in the days that I traveled on business Mother's Day was one of the worst days to be caught traveling out of town on. It was almost a guarantee you would be eating at McDonalds or some other fast food restaurant instead of waiting for a table at a better restaurant.
For an interesting look at what the restaurant staff thinks about customers there are three blogs I enjoy reading they are; Buon Appetito (seatmytable.blogspot.com), Restaurant Gal (www.restaurantgal.com), and Waiter Rant (www.waiterrant.net)
