I couldn't believe people would put a dime tip in an upside-down glass and expect you'll really fish around for it in the bus tray. For a lousy dime! The busboys would just slide the glass off into the bus tub - no muss, no fuss.

I have many other stories from working at Farrell's: like when I threw a handful of pennies at a car as it was leaving because that's all the tip they gave me (those were my aggressive mod days).

We had this really mean manager and one time the cook pissed on his car door handle while he was inside and we all watched through the window as he got in his car.

Another time someone put a jumbo weenie in the gas tank of the manager's company pinto! They had to rebuild the engine.

One time a cook came out on the floor with a jumbo weenie hanging out of his fly!

The dishwashers and cooks were always huffing from empty whipped cream cans.

Many nights we started drinking before work was finished and we'd end up drinking and playing Space Invaders or Asteroids all night in the banquet room.

One day my friend's punk rock band played in the banquet room.

When ice cream sundaes were mistakes we would refreeze them and use them in the bottom of the zoo, frozen whipped cream and all.

One time a mouse ran across the table while my customers were sitting there! They just moved to another table instead of leaving!

When anyone quit working there on their last day the staff would hold the person down and cover the person with whipped cream. I fought back and doused the manager with barbeque sauce from a squirt bottle. He retaliated with a glass of coke in my face.
