lol I worked at the dennys on 118 and pac a few years ago. worst job I ever had  even the landfill was better than that.
busses suck, I have been using them a bit lately to go to work, costs alot less than paying for gas in my car.

Haha.. I guess it all depends on what the place is like and how you enjoy working. I personally thought Denny's was a hoot. The cook would go out back by the dumpster and pretend to smoke crack out of tinfoil pipes he made in the kitchen while he endlessly talked about graphic sexual moves he'd perform on women - if any woman ever actually gave him a chance. Then there was this awesome black waiter that sang stuff like Barry White to the waitresses, then break off and discuss comic books with you in the back. With a crew of 20 people as amusing as these guys, how could you hate working there?

I feel ya on the bus situation. I live about 25 miles north of where I work.. gas+parking in Seattle 5 days a week ends up being about $100.00 a week. A month Puget pass is $80.00 for me through a contact I have. Who wins? The bus.

I dislike the bus very much though. I have to get up at 5:45 in the morning just to arrive at work by 8:00 AM. Why the 'express' bus has to take 30 minutes covering 10 miles of local roads to pick up 4 people I will never know. Then the fact that the buses in King and Snohomish County NEVER leave the carpool lanes on I-5, even if the fast lane is wide open. They'd rather sit behind the geezer going 53 MPH than pass the dude and go 60.

Oh, but let's never forget that by summer 2009 WA DOT will have the rail line between Sea-Tac and Seattle worked out. Maybe it'll be worth a damn enough to not have to take the bus anymore? I doubt it.

I have a very love/hate relationship with western Washington's transportation solutions. :D

well as with most jobs I loved most of my coworkers. its the way I was treated by managers that pissed me off, I was a dishwasher, and I was basicaly told if I didnt do certain things Id be fired, bus tables, fill peoples coffee cups, empty trucks of shit into the freezer, etc. never to see an extra dime an hour for those things, and I even had to take orders and was never allowed tips.  I was given a 20 dollar tip and the manager saw it and said I had to give it back cause Im not a waiter.  I hated that bitch, the other two managers were actualy cool, one wanted to hook me up with her daughter. the other was into video games as much as I was, but the GM was the biggest twat on earth.  she fired 3 dishwashers in a week and demanded I work double time, then fired me cause I was too slow on a saturday night after 5 consecutive 16 hour days.  I hope she got aids or something.

Yeah, I guess that was the difference at my Denny's. The GM kicked ass and actually recognized when I busted mine. I was technically a host, but washed dishes whenever our resident drunk called out, took over taking waitering, bussed, filled and made coffee, unloaded the trucks and inputted them into the computer afterwards. Our GM always recognized this of me and treated me quite often to whatever free food I wanted and always gave me decent hours when he could. This was especially awesome as I didn't have a license at the time and the walk home was 11 miles away and it was nice to get a good hot meal in me after working a 16 hour double the night after I worked a 16 hour double. I was also allowed to keep all my tips off the record, even though I technically shouldn't have. Even as a host I had my 'regulars' in the A.M. and graveyard shifts who'd tip me because I carried a decent conversation and jumped out my ass for them.

This is kind of the nature of foodservice work, especially the sit-down 'diner' type establishment. You bust your ass for not much pay, but as long as the management is worth a shit and the employees are enjoyable, it's fine.

My horrible job was Home Depot. I'd work Denny's ANY day before I set foot in a Home Depot again.
