As you all know I went to Vegas a few weeks ago. I took one shift off from the club (although I took off the busiest shift they have). I didn't miss tons of work. I didn't make them think I was going to miss tons of work.
So, you can imagine my surprise when my boss called me on Tuesday (the day before my major shift) to ask how Vegas is going. I let him know that I was back and had been for a couple of days. He told me that my fill in (and his back up) led him to believe I was going to be gone another week. INTERESTING... very interesting.
The first thing that comes to my mind is "He's gunning for my shift." My second thought is "WRONG!! This is my planet, boy! You're just visiting." Well, my boss said he was really shocked that I would take off more than one shift because I never take off. I told him that wouldn't happen and he laughed.
The bonus for me is that now little Mr. Busy is on his last legs at the club. He's been doing lots and lots of things that annoy me, my barback, my boss, the performers and just about everyone who isn't trying to get into his pants. VICTORY IS MINE!
Don't mess with the Princess in the land of Queens.

A Vegas Story
I spent this past weekend really enjoying myself in Vegas for my birthday. I love Vegas. I really love the MGM Grand. I know, it's a little "old school" but that's my style, really...
Obviously, this is another tale from the customer side of the bar. I wasn't in Vegas to work, boys and girls. So, I was at my favorite restaurant eating a delicious dinner in the bar when I man sat beside me. He was dressed really casually. Too casual for this eating establishment but it's Vegas so I guess that's okay. Well, I was being chatted up by the bartenders and having a great time when this freak starts making "mmm" noises. He isn't eating either! Every time the bartenders walk away he starts mumbling at me and making really screwed up noises at me. At one point (and I'm NOT kidding) he actually started tweaking his own nipples!!! I was beyond uncomfortable!
Finally, I looked straight at him and said "You don't know me. Leave me the f*&@ alone or I'll make you regret it." Now, I'm not normally this agressive but he was just perverse!! Once he left the bartenders apologized (and bought my dessert and some champagne for me). All I could think of was the fact that in my bar this would never happen. If I saw someone being this horrid to a woman I would bounce them on their insane ass! It was a really difficult experience and could've soured me from going to my favorite place. It didn't because this establishment has amazing food, great staff, delicious cocktails and an atmosphere that I love.
I guess it just goes to show you that not everyone takes "customer service" to the next level. I would never want one of my customers to feel the way I felt. Take a lesson from a Lady, boys, watch out for your girls!
Never messing about,
