If they want to judge me, then back at them. Oh, you are a waiter?  Stuff it and bring me the ketchup!

 I'm an addict!

It's the people who think they're "cutting calories" by ordering diet soda instead of regular, and then pig out.

Well, that extra 200 calories might push them over their 3000 calorie limit.

Diet soda is DISGUSTING.

No! It's yummy! I only like diet root beer (A&W) and Coke Zero.

I want to get one of those soda stream things so I can create my own bubbly drinks.

They have it at Walmart.  Schewppes or Canada dry.  ANd, there is original and Raspberry, Lemon Lime and Black Cherry.  I like the carbonation of soda.  And, I don't have the energy to want to make my own.  And, I don't consume NutraSweet or artificial sweeteners.  It pretty much tastes like carbonated water with some flavoring.  I also prefer cans to bottles because a nice iced cold can tastes better to me and a bottle is too big and you lose the fizz which is why I buy it.

I'm picky. I have to drink my soda from a GLASS (not plastic cup) with ICE CUBES.

I like it from a really COLD can or if it isn't cold, then yes a glass with ice cubes.

 I can't stand drinking from a can.

(Just remember that when you buy me lunch...)

I have had people like you have mentioned while working as a waitress.

I hated it. I am not a people person. But for some reason, people would come in and ask for me. For my section.

Keeping thing straight is not that hard. It's a matter of knowing your clock.

Each waiter has a section, each section has numbered or lettered tables.

You take orders clock wise as much as possible. Remember who had what by which drink they had is also another way to do it.

Keep straws in your apron, napkins near by, and watch the drinks.

Yes. There are those that will test your patience. Those are the ones you smile bigger for and be a little nicer to cause if you don't you will tell them to get it them selves.

And you go to the back to get something just so you can say that one smart mouthed thing you want to say to them.
