Lesson #8: How to NOT Get Slapped By Your Server

When I moved away to college I needed a new job that would be flexible enough so that I was not flunking out of school, yet I made enough money to survive. With my charming personality and dazzling wits I decided to take on the challenge of being a server. You never know what it is like dealing with people until you work in customer service...

Since most people will never be servers and get the hands on, down and dirty, nitty gitty experience of the fast paced and excited job, I made some guidelines to give you a heads up so that next time you "wine and dine", everyone can have a more present experience.

WHILE DINING, REMEMBER:

1) Please do not bust out all of your wrinkled coupon cutouts from the Penny Saver and try to use them in one visit to get a free meal. FYI it does not work like that. Come back and have fun all over again!

2) If cannot afford to eat out and leave a decent tip, then DON'T. Standard tip is 15% or higher. "They" usually say "double the tax", but CA's sale tax is at an all time high of 9.75% thanks to the Governator. That Crackberry you're attached to has a calculator and let's hope you passed the 3rd grade... do the math! (Rule may vary depending on how horrible your server is)

3) A server's job is to help you. Everyone in the English speaking world knows the expressions "please" and "thank you" but somehow forget when they are demanding a Diet Coke with no ice!

4) Again, a servers job is to help you, so let them! If there is an issue or mistake with your food that is making your visit absolutely miserable, SPEAK UP CHILD! They will more than likely to be happy to assist you. Please do not blow it up in their face when paying out with a sassy "Well I'm done now..." Many things are easily fixable and do not involve spit or pubic hair.

5) Believe it or not, servers are people too and most of the time have outgoing "Type A" personalities. Joke around and have a good time when the time calls for it. The very least you will get is a courtesy laugh [ha ha ha]. Try it, you may find out something interesting or make someone's day!

6) If you do not feel like paying for a drink, order water with lemon. BUT do not collect all the lemons and the sugar packets in the restaurant to attempt to make a bootleg "homemade" lemonade. That probably cost the establishment more money than just bringing you a regular lemonade... plus that's just straight up ghetto.

7) Try to avoid walking into a restaurant 2 minutes before closing with an incomplete party of feisty teenyboppers. Majority of the time 1/2 the kitchen needs to be re set-up and evening plans that your server was already late for are being canceled. Please be mindful and courteous and just go to In-n-Out or Dennys! That's what they're there for.

8) Try to ask for everything you need at one time. It makes the server's job easier when they make less trips. Be patient and remember, you are not the only table they are dealing with.

9) The term used for party that takes up a table for an extended amount of time is a "camper". If you want to spend time and fellowship with your old high school sweetheart or that Mai Tai has you feeling yourself a little too much, that's fine, but if you are sitting at your table for 4 hours on a Friday night running your mouth about nothing, somebody's dollars are getting tampered with! There are plenty of Starbucks.

10) Get your kids! (Need I say more?)

11) HAVE FUN! Order a round of drinks and enjoy yourself. Servers are there to create a fun environment for you and your company so embrace it! Plus, who doesn't enjoy eating?!

DGFU... Class has begun!

Lesson #7: Pretty Girls Rock!

"Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful..."

Blonde, beautiful and brisk Keri Hilson has had my attention since she come out with Energy a couple years back. I'm happy the ATL song writer decided to break out into her own career because she definitely knows how to grab our focus. She is so cute LOL.

Here is her new creative and clever video Pretty Girl Rock where she highlights and reenacts some of the most prominent and successful black female entertainers from the past decades. "Miss Keri Baby" starts with Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, Diana Ross, Donna Summers, Janet Jackson, and finally TLC [R.I.P. Left Eye].

I instantly started laughing when "Donna Summers" came on. Keri looks a little drag and those two men twirling in the back are quite comical I must say. I love when she recreates TLC's Creep. Although I learned about past entertainers like Dorothy Dandridge in my Comm 315 class and better know who Diana Ross is in fear of my mother beating me, being a kid born in the late 80's... Creep is the only video I actually remember!

In a Perfect World was playing continuously in my car for weeks. Her sophomore album, No Boys Allowed is set to release next month on December 21st. Does this mean I can't buy it because I'm a boy?




THROWBACK: Also see TLC's Creep below. I know you were about to YouTube it after you saw this video so I saved you the trouble =P

Lesson #6: London Gal

This posting is dedicated to my little sister who had the guts to up and move to Europe! She is clearly having the time of her life studying abroad in London for the fall semester by her numerous facebook updates and photo albums. I couldn't be a more proud big brother.

Yesterday, I was able to speak with her via video chat [shoutout to 2010!] and it made me miss her even more. She educated me on the UK's lifestyle and some comparisons to the slang terms we have in the US. A "chav" is a derogative term for someone of low class who drinks in the streets and excessively parties, or in Tyler's words, "a doo doo mama with a slicked back pony tail...". When I googled it I immediately thought of Mel C aka "Sporty Spice" of the Spice Girls.

At such a young age, Tyler has already made it to Brazil [and Mexico if that counts!]. She is a motivation to many not to be scared and to just do it! Go out and see what the world has to offer; not many do.

She will be heading back to the States next month after her four month long adventure. I am sure has opened her eyes to a whole other world and way of living. Hopefully she'll have the guts to actually get on the plane and come home, she was trying to buy a one way ticket when she left! I cannot wait to hear more stories and see some more of her amazing photography! I can't even lie, I get a little jealous when I see a Facebook status saying that she's spending the weekend in Paris, France. Who does that!?

Throw back in honor of my little modern day Spice Girl #londongal [LOL]

Lesson #5: Hungry for Johnny Cupcakes!

Once very blue moon [not the beer] I come across a story that arouses my drive to succeed. I was on Facebook chatting with an old friend about working with him as a mentor for "Don't Get Fooled University", the nonprofit division of DGFU that will assist in the transition from high school to college life, when he brought up a familiar name... "Johnny Cupcakes".

I did my research and found out that the college drop out behind the multi-million dollar company started from nothing in the back of his old Toyota. I used to work at a store on Melrose and once on my lunch break walked into Johnny Cupcakes to get a little snack to find that it was actually a clothing store. A little disappointed, and still hungry as hell for rich red velvet, I moved on and never thought about the name until last night. By thinking out of the box, the Boston native was able to build a global company step by step to where it is today. Johnny Cupcakes’ story reminds me a lot of what I want with my own clothing line, DGFU.

Not only does he have a inventive t-shirt line, but he also holds extremely popular seminars all over the country that brings tenfolds of young [and old] entrepreneurs to listen and be educated on how Johnny Cupcakes did it! He was voted America's #1 Young Entrepreneur in 2008 and started a company with no start up loans, college degree, advertisers, or investors. He has successful stores in the Boston area, Los Angeles, and is carried is stores around the world. Driving the message of leaving the beer pong table and getting what you need done, Johnny Cupcakes beats the man in the Everett College commercial when it comes to getting your butt up off the couch.

As a recent college graduate and someone who thought they found their dream post college job, I quickly learned that I was put on this Earth to be my own boss. It was always the goal to work for myself, but never knew when exactly that was going to happen. So, why not now? While many are out of work and blaming America’s financial drought for their economic hardships, many people, especially the younger generations, are starting their own things and making life work for them. Now is the time where individuals need to start thinking outside of the box and press forward. "Get er done!"
