Author Archives: Confessions of a Cocktail Server

I haven’t been slinging drinks as much as I use to. With my new extensions salon and the amount of time I spend on TikTok I just can’t get to the casino as much as I’d like to. Who am I kidding? The goal is to eventually hang up my tray and heels! I’m notContinueContinue reading “Inspo: Betty White”

Here goes my thanksgiving poem because I wish I could be in second grade again making turkey hands….

Since we’ve switched to plastic cups and paper straws at work, due to COVID shenanigans and the whole save the turtles thing, I’ve been noticing something … I’ve always known that men cannot multi task. No offense just facts. Obviously, there are some that can. I only know one, my best friend, Joe M. BrotherContinueContinue reading “Science project…”

I feel like I was ran over by a Mac truck after my work week! Some kind of crazy slot promo at the casino and I got my ass kicked… Yes, cocktail servers look cute and all but there’s nothing cute about carrying a heavy double stacked tray, in two inch heels, in a uniformContinueContinue reading “Full trays”
