I spit in so many drinks
I was a server and bartender for a loooong time at a sushi joint. It was pretty popular but after we did reconstruction and couldn’t hire anyone who would stay more than a week because my boss was a serious piece of shit, I ran the joint. We had a LOT of regulars, friends of the family. All assholes who asked for free shit or special deals because “they knew the owner.” (I know him too, bitch! Who cares?) No one tipped because they felt entitled. It was terrible. I don’t know why I stayed there so long. It would be just me on a Friday or Saturday, super busy, running all the food, making all the drinks, refilling everyone’s sodas, bussing and resetting all the tables. On a particular Friday, two regulars, both women, came in with their 7 shitty kids who would throw all their food on the ground, knock over the soy sauces, draw on the tables with crayons, while they sat and drank their very specific cocktails. Meanwhile, people are snapping at me left and right, men are putting their hands on my waist as I take their order, I’m completely drowned in sidework and frustration. One of the mothers from the shitshow children table snapped at me for being slow, complained her drink didn’t have the right percentage of pomegranate juice. I said I’d fix it right away. Take it into the back on a tray full of napkins that just cleaned up her childs reckless mess and I’m shaking her new drink up and before I pour it into the martini glass and garnish with a lemon wedge, I spat a big ol loogie in it. I returned it to the shaker and gave it another shake, poured in the glass, put the lil lemon on, so pretty. And I stood at the pos station and watched her guzzle my mucous down. After that, any time a customer complained or sent food back or touched my waist or irked me a, I spat in that motherfucker’s drink. It was so satisfying to watch them drink it. I spat in togo cups. I licked their miso soup bowls. I hated everyone. It was so fucking terrible. I had to blackmail my boss to get my last check. Good times. But at least those dickheads drank my germs. I know that if I had been caught, that’s assault. But fuck em. Server lyfe. You best believe I licked those chopsticks before I handed them to you before you ate your yakisoba, you cunt.
