Regulars are a welcome sight in any establishment. They bring a centred sense of purpose to jobs that can sometime be quite mercurial, with people coming and going all the time. But the dynamic between high-paying (or high-tipping) customers is always kind of odd. Don’t get me wrong, I love my regulars (or did, when [...]
Going all Titanic on baked goods. 300 on baked goods. Shawshank Redemption on baked goods. The Good, The Bad And The Ugly on baked goods. Blazing Saddles on baked goods. Love Actually on a bakery. X-Men II on baked goods. Total Recall on baked goods. Scott Pilgrim on baked goods. Robin Hood on baked goods. [...]
Quick show of hands here – who’s been caught having this private conversation? We’re reaching the end of this arc, with the closing strips arriving next week. Then we’ll be going into a few one-shot comics while I figure out what the hell I’m doing for the next arc. One small reminder – not only [...]
Ouch. It is entirely possible to skip over each others shifts for months. It is also possible to accidentally not invite someone to your combined farewell party carnival. But I’m not sure this has been the case. Stay tuned for the next strip! CJ
Let me ask you something: what do you think the turnover rate is for your local bar or restaurant? I’m not talking about the owners or the long-term staff, like managers or head chefs. I mean the basic, entry-level positions that everyone starts with. One report I read back in 2006 said the general turnover [...]
I was working a function in my first year as a bartender. I can’t remember what the people were celebrating, but it was a sit-down dinner with three courses and matching drinks. They were very thirsty, so I had been pretty busy. The first chance I got to grab something to eat was when we [...]
Ugh, Paul. Just… ugh. Why am I awake? This is dumb. Oh yeah, because Waiting on Tables has 100 Facebook fans! Which really is a milestone for such a niche comic and is the reason I am so jazzed and can’t sleep. So a big THANK YOU, nice readers, for getting me pumped to make [...]
What do you do if you see money lying round on the ground? Do you pick it up? See if anyone nearby has dropped it? Do you ask around? But what happens if they say it’s theirs? Ask for proof? Do a fingerprint test? Do you stride over with confidence and make a big deal [...]
Aaaaand that’s it. Story line is over. For now. There may have been a more delicate way of showing how inept Paul is in the social scene but when I thought of this scenario I cracked up. That’s pretty rare, so I went with it. From Friday I will be in New Zealand for a [...]
This strip doesn’t need words – I think the visuals speak for themselves. As soon as I finish this arc we’ll be launching straight into a new story – one that is much more industry oriented. I know the comic has strayed a fair bit and I really want to bring it back in line [...]
