R200603674 Eun-Jin Hyun   An Experience with the Worst Waitress                Service position can be more difficult than just making practical merchandises since it requires strong mental strength. Customers, however, do not consider this effort as an option but as a mandatory. Therefore, meeting a very rude waiter is quite a displeasing event leaving an unforgettable impression. Russia, where it still has its communism traits, is a place easy to find the worst waiters someone could ever imagine. When I was in Novosibirsk, a city in middle of Siberia, there was a family restaurant which looked like the Russian version of "Outback Steakhouse." As my Chinese friends and I entered the restaurant, a blonde hair waitress with emerald green eyes stared at us with a very dismal face. Her expression made us very sorry to interrupt her break time. Without giving a single smile, she asked us bluntly whether we wanted the smoking area or not. After we were seated, we asked which dishes were delicious. However, the reply from this waitress was too simple than expected. "All." She mumbled. We tried to grin and bear her attitude, and ordered a smoked mutton dish and a beef tongue. After 30 minutes we got our meals but found a dead fly lying along with asparagus on my dish. Immediately, although my Russian speaking skill was very limited, I complained to that waitress for a refund or a new dish. However, this pretty waitress suddenly thrust a finger before me and swiped the fly away. With obvious irritation in her voice, she said, "Now it's clean. You can eat it now. You're not going to die anyway." We were so mad but had no choice to keep silent since there were three guards in black uniforms staring at us. They were about to roar at us if we just spat a single word. Except the dish which had a fly, we did eat our supper and paid reluctantly. Because of the rude service, we did not want to give any tips, so we just swiftly left. As soon as the door was closed, however, we heard the waitress's voice shouting at us. She yelled furiously, "You got all the service and this is what you pay for? Don't you ever come back!" As she warned us, we never went back or even close to that restaurant. Thanks to this waitress, I have learned that meeting polite waiters can be a hard chance sometimes.     R200603674 Eun-Jin Hyun   How to Throw a Surprise Birthday Party for a Friend                By just shouting the word "surprise" can make a normal party into something special and unique. For those, especially high school students who want to make the party more dramatic with less money, several steps are recommended to follow. First, a fight between best friends is crucial. Make a group fight and urge the birthday girl or boy to choose one side. At this point, the birthday person gets frustrated by seeing their friends getting into a severe argument and completely forgets about the birthday. Your friend will only think about how to solve this problem. While the birthday person is caught in mind, let one group of friends get the cake and some birthday crackers. Also for distraction, the others should start to blame the birthday person for not mediating between them. The birthday person may get upset and have another quarrel as scheduled. Before it gets worst such as engaging into a physical fight, end the argument in a very silly way, such as saying "I got angry because I was just practicing for the Oscars!" Then as soon as possible bring up the cake and crackers and shout "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" All that is needed is just a small cake, a few crackers with beloved friends to make an unforgettable memory.
