Hospitality Bites: May 2013
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Thursday, 30 May 2013. I'm NOT running a charity and you are NOT special. Customers come up with all kinds of different ways to attempt to get discounts or freebies in restaurants. One of the more common ones is eating an entire meal, then complaining about it, This one bugs me because most times, we have asked you already, usually early in the meal, if everything is OK, and if you say yes then, to complain at the end is just obnoxious.

Hospitality Bites: April 2013
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Saturday, 20 April 2013. Cambodia Wrap Up.Bad boys, Babes, Busses and Bum Guns. Seavyi, Untac and Lavi were my three "bad boys". Seavyi actually told me, on numerous occasions, what a bad boy he is. He is not, in fact, a bad boy at all, none of them are, but they were all a whole lot of fun. There is nothing like Cambodian busses! And the third did break, but they taped it back together and we made it safely. What can be said about bum guns?

Hospitality Bites: When wait-staff attack!
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013/06/when-wait-staff-attack.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Wednesday, 12 June 2013. After asking him a few times to just ring once, he did the tri-ring again. I stormed from the bar over to the pass. "If you triple ring that bell one more time, I'm going to punch you in the face." I was only 25% joking. Nobody made me baby punchin' mad today, so I chalk that up as a great day. Disclaimer: I'm almost 100% sure nobody I work with would actually. 12 June 2013 at 22:24. Love that pic :) Thanks Baby-Girl.

Hospitality Bites: The problem with tinted windows.
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-problem-with-tinted-windows.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Sunday, 16 June 2013. The problem with tinted windows. One girl a few days ago had spent so long adjusting her hair and clothes in the window, that I was almost tempted to go out there and remind her that everyone inside could see her, but before I had the chance, she decided to start practicing her model pouts and poses and I totally lost my shit. I know what you're thinking, "It can't have been that. 17 June 2013 at 10:40. I've worked in c...

Hospitality Bites: Responsibility Bites
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013/06/responsibility-bites.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Thursday, 6 June 2013. Today I had to fire someone. It sucked, even though he deserved it. I'm a nurturer, a problem solver and a compassionate person. It is not in my nature to happily take responsibility for adversely affecting someone's livelihood. However, when I took on a management position, this was one of the unenviable responsibilities that came along with it. Yet still, although it was necessary and I had to do it for the good of t...

Hospitality Bites: Generation Gaps.....
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013/05/generation-gaps.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Sunday, 26 May 2013. I've been working the business way too long! Many little things reinforce this belief on a daily basis, intolerance of customers, disdain for repetitive tasks, waking up at the same time my alarm normally goes off even on my days off. But by far the most telling of all the signs is the generation gap between me (apparently the old timer although I'm only in my mid 30s) and most of the other staff. Was cool and young.

Hospitality Bites: August 2013
http://hospitalitybites.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A blog about life, travel and work in the hospitality industry. Thursday, 22 August 2013. When you order a BLT with no bacon, what do you get? The answer, in our restaurant at least, is lettuce and tomato on a toasted turkish roll with aioli, served with chips and salad. Apparently, according to a recent customer, there is some other mythical place where a BLT with no Bacon gets served with a burger paddy instead of the greasy pig meat. Now here's the thing. The wagyu beef burger is similar to the BL...
