Serving You…

Where I come from, silverware in napkins have always been called roll-ups. They are always made the same way; by putting two forks on top of each other, on top of a knife, on the corner of a napkin, fold in the slack on the sides, and roll it up. The place where I’m working now has two types of roll-ups. One is with paper napkins, for the lunch shift. The other is for the dinner shift, with cloth napkins. Every day at 4 p.m. the silverware is switched over from lunch to dinner. Every table is removed of the lunch silver and replaced with the dinner silver. There is just one thing that has been bothering me for the longest time. Every day, they have someone come in specifically to roll silverware. Every day it is the same. During lunch the person will roll tons and tons of extra lunch silverware, so when dinner comes around the person has rolled tons of extra lunch silverware, but no dinner silverware. Then, when we need dinner silver, it’s not available. Then as the night progresses, and it is then the dinner shift, the roller rolls tons and tons of dinner silverware. At the end of the shift, when the place is closed and the servers that are still there are looking for lunch silverware, lone and behold, there is none to be found, and what was found was already used. I don’t get why they would roll a bunch extra for the shift, when the next shift is not going to have any. It does not make sense. My manager said the rollers are just lazy, but this has been happening ever since I got to this place. Does that mean a roller is being lazy every day? Why don’t they get terminated for not doing their job? I think my manager is just not the brightest and came up with an excuse. I guess I’ll never know.
