The worst waiter

The worst waiter I met in Sydney

Have you met the worst waiter in a fancy restaurant? Most waiters and waitresses are hardworking, professional people, and many circumstances are out of their control, from food preparation to seating time. But there are always a few bad apples (or just bad days) in any industry, and we've all probably been on the receiving end of rude, indifferent, or just plain baffling wait staff behavior. I've seen the worst waiter when I visited Sydney last winter. My friend in Sydney brought me to the famous Italian restaurant. When we waited in line the waiter was speaking to the couples in front of us rather rudely. We tried to not be bothered by that, but when it came to our turn, she very rudely asked us to chill out and wait. I was shocked and my friend was very angry. When she returned to her spot, she snatched the menu and said "Well, come on". We followed and discussed that we were going to ask to speak to the manager. We were seated and did ask. She literally started yelling at us in the middle of this place. I was so embarrassed and ashamed that everybody in the restaurant was staring at us as if we were the people who demanded unreasonable favor to the waitress. After just getting over the situation by talking to the manager, the worst experience kept continued. We ordered a fairly high-priced bottle of wine and when our waitress, the same person who yelled at us, attempted to open the bottle and she broke the cork. Instead of retrieving a new bottle, she shoved the rest of the cork into the bottle -- sticking her finger all the way into our bottle and dipping it into our wine. She wiped her finger off on her apron and attempted to serve the wine to us like it was no big deal. The night dealing with the worst waiter at DEROSA, an Italian restaurant in Sydney, was my worst experience from any of restaurants.

 

 

How to obtain driver's license             

                                                                                It's easy to get driver's license

Many people who just turns 20 try to obtain driver's license and this is almost like a coming of age ceremony in Korea. However, there are some people who lose their confidence in obtaining driver's license. Are you one of them? If so, following steps could help you to realize how easy it is to get driver's license. First of all, you have to get physical examination. You should get the physical examination at one of government-designated hospitals. If you are a normal person who does not have color blindness, there will be no obstacles for you to pass the examination. Next, you should decide which license you would obtain; 1^st class or 2^nd class. 1^st class license is for people who can drive both manual gear shift car and automatic transmission car while 2^nd class license is only for automatic transmission car. After the decision, you should take a written test. It's not difficult that many people who pass only study on the day before the test. After that, you take the functional test after receiving three hours of instruction in any driving academy. You are asked to drive the car through some complicated courses that is installed in the academy. It is easy to master the course if you register for 15 hours of practice in the academy. Then, the last step is left for you to complete the whole task. You take driving test on the road as a real situation. Before the test, you may be either learned by the instructor in the academy or learned by anyone who has more than 2-years of driving experience. When all tests are successfully finished, you finally obtain driver's license with your face and name on it. Although the procedure may seem a little bit complicated, you will have no problems in confidence toward the tests if you follow these steps above. Once again, it is easier to obtain a driver's license than you think. So, why not register yourself at the academy right now?
