...from the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now:
1) When I was racking dirty glasses, I accidentally got distracted as I kept moving a glass, and it hit another glass and shattered that racked glass around the rim, so I went to go put it in a plastic bag and seal it up and then put that in the trash to be taken out at the end of the night (you never want to put the shards in there directly, since if they're not in another bag they can easily poke through the trashbag and hurt someone when they're taking the trash out; on that note, as an aside, you should **never** use a glass to scoop ice directly out of an ice bin, because if it chips or shatters, you have to clear out the entire bin and let all of the ice melt and then collect all of the little pieces from inside there and also from wherever you put all of the ice so that it can melt, and that's just a huge amount of time and a big pain in the *ss, it's just so much better to never be in that situation in the first place).
Anyhow, as I stood by the trash-bin behind the restaurant counter, with a plastic bag out and the mostly intact glass sitting there and I'm starting to unroll some masking tape, my one (older) (Thai) coworker who's a whiz at the phones looks at me and at what I'm doing and is like, "No, no, Scotch tape, people will see masking tape on the glass."
2) It's very interesting how my one (older) (Thai) coworker who's a whiz at the phones essentializes lack of tip-giving; so often, she doesn't want to discus customers and their behavior, but instead cuts the conversation short and is just like, "They're cheap," or, "That's them."
