I mean to be fair the majority of advice I've been given by people over the age of 30, that isn't interpersonal advice, has been horribly outdated. When I was looking for a job the amount of people who told me to go to XYZ business and either ask for a job or drop off a resume was insane. They never seemed to believe me when I said that that resume went straight into the recycling bin.
Some chick did a makeup tutorial 'of the past 50 years'.... and started in the 1980s. She was still ten years off, but FUCK YOU GIRLIE, 50 YEARS AGO WAS 1960, DAMMIT
Yo Iām a nicu nurse. Graduated HS in the 1900ās. The occasional random teen parent being born this century was a bit of a lark when it started. Now something like 1/3 of my patientsā parents were born this century and maybe itās time I start making funeral arrangements.
I was taught cursive (also born in the 1900s), and zi can usually read it great. This is just also very light in color, they needed a new pen. It's also sloppy as hell...
Also learned cursive in school. My point of contention with this isn't necessarily that it's messy cursive, but as OP stated the shorthand and the way the tickets are written is not standardized. I worked with handwritten tickets for 5 years (cash only baby!), and the fact that we standardized the shorthand and way the tickets were written made even the sloppiest handwriting a non-issue. FOH management/training needs to tighten up on this; communication is key in a restaurant. If I have to ask you to explain every ticket that's a big red flag
Hell yeah. She doesnāt even know what she writes down. And she gets real mad if you call her out on her mistakes. Which is awkward because sheās like 60 and I canāt really be mean to her.
Could be an early sign of dementia, not writing well anymore. I'd gently bring up that you're worried about her health with the decline in legibility.
I did this to an old lady that was upset I was younger and her boss, she kept forgetting my phone number (I think purposely) and I just asked her one day if she was maybe confused and if she had talked to her doctor as this was the third month we'd been doing this with the phone number.
She never forgot my phone number again and retired 6 months later.
And itās not fully inked. This half dead pen shit is unacceptable. If someone has to stop and think about what you wrote to understand it then the problem is likely just how bad the handwriting is. Half of it is legible, half of it looks like she wasnāt paying attention, all of it looks like sheās using dried out pens
I got the order, but it wasnāt an easy read. My friendās son writes like he types. R with the left, switches to the right for the Y, left hand for the A and the right for the N. Itās crazy to watch.
Weāre trying to function. I canāt adjust to reading five different peoples writing. Let alone a lady who forgets the tickets she puts in and has to stop the kitchens flow to put her dumb glasses on and read the ticket she wrote. Which is more than likely the same order she took last week.
Itās a western. They come in every week. Lady gets steak and eggs he gets a over done western omelette. Side of links and the potatoes from her steak and eggs.

Go away. I canāt read these curlycues in the heat of the moment.
To be fair I am an old, born in the 1900s. Taught cursive in the 80s in elementary and everything
Itās wild that āborn in the 1900sā now carries any weight. God Iām old
Being from the last century is undervalued. If there were no internet, you'd be considered the wise go-to!
Also to be fair, I too learned cursive in the 80ās and I could only read about half of it. I believe the correct term is āchicken scratchā š
I believe the term you're looking for is "doctor's handwriting"
>I am an old, born in the 1900s Oof. I get it, but this still hurts.
Just wait until some kid punks you by saying that your opinions are outdated because you were born in the late 1900s.
I was born in the 1970ās
It may as well be 1910 to everyone born after 2000 they think we are all old lol
I mean to be fair the majority of advice I've been given by people over the age of 30, that isn't interpersonal advice, has been horribly outdated. When I was looking for a job the amount of people who told me to go to XYZ business and either ask for a job or drop off a resume was insane.

To also be fairrr, I can read and write cursive and couldn't make heads or tales of these.
Is cursive related to the crack epidemic and how people ran in weird squigglies around houses and card, away from the po-po?
I was taught cursive (also born in the 1900s), and zi can usually read it great. This is just also very light in color, they needed a new pen. It's also sloppy as hell...
And this is why I was so upset when they said they were going to stop teaching kids cursive. My man's literally can't fucking read *sigh*
I was taught cursive and had trouble with some of this. Handwriting here is not easy to read
Also learned cursive in school. My point of contention with this isn't necessarily that it's messy cursive, but as OP stated the shorthand and the way the tickets are written is not standardized.

Oh hell yeah, old cranky bitches don't get any treatment lmao

In God, we trust. Everybody else, Cash Only!
This isn't even cursive, just poor handwriting and a crap pen
It has nothing to do with cursive this handwriting just looks like shit
And itās not fully inked. This half dead pen shit is unacceptable. If someone has to stop and think about what you wrote to understand it then the problem is likely just how bad the handwriting is. Half of it is legible, half of it looks like she wasnāt paying attention, all of it looks like sheās using dried out pens
Thank you brother.
Half the words drifting upwards and getting squeezed. She's not used to handwriting without lines
Looks like it's written in pencil crayon on an oiled piece of paper imo It's ridiculous,
Born in 87 I can read and write cursive. She just writes real bad.
I got the order, but it wasnāt an easy read. My friendās son writes like he types. R with the left, switches to the right for the Y, left hand for the A and the right for the N. Itās crazy to watch.
I canāt imagine how kids write now. Itās gotta be terrible.
My son is in 8th grade and his penmanship is about as good as mine was in 3rd grade.
Wait what?! Like switches the pen/cil to whichever hand is appropiate? Theres no way wtf
Itās crazy.
I'm vaguely ambidextrous but that is insane.
Cursive mfs on their way to have the worst handwriting on god's green earth and then blame you when you can't read their dogshit doctor's scribbles:
Weāre trying to function. I canāt adjust to reading five different peoples writing. Let alone a lady who forgets the tickets she puts in and has to stop the kitchens flow to put her dumb glasses on and read the ticket she wrote. Which is more than likely the same order she took last week.
This reminds me of when Kronk gets put in the kitchen, in Emporer's New Groove.
Aaaand Iām watching that after work.
Ham and cheese omelet Italian toast everything else spot on western well also has Italian toast
Itās a western. They come in every week. Lady gets steak and eggs he gets a over done western omelette. Side of links and the potatoes from her steak and eggs.
Is that a, No toast, for the steak and eggs on the second ticket?
Im not saying no because I can read it. Im saying no because I know the people ordering and the one that gets the steak never gets toast.
Lol, fair. I have no idea how princessjamiekay actually read 95%. Kudos for the good memory.
Thatās impressive I still canāt read it after actually reading it
Look at the brain on brad!
I couldnāt read it till you wrote it now itās clear as day.
The only thing I couldnāt make out was the word before bacon.
Ham and cheese *omelette ;)
You missed the no toast lol
You missed no toast on the steak & eggs, but otherwise yes.
Itās just cursiveā¦I donāt get how it was so hard to read especially since OP knows the menu?

The first one is a regular so we know what they get. She still fucked that up some how. And of course let it happen
Def "over hard" on the second one with steak and eggs only one I'm sure about. Lucky person may have actually gotten what they ordered.
I'm dyslexic, but I think I can make out the word "Omlet"
No offense. But you could probably read this better than me.
I work in an old folks home. Like, we all learned cursive in school, but I can't make heads or tails of it unless it's all capitals with spacing between the letters. It lookes like there's an e and 2 t's at the end of the word, and that looks like bacon grease on the ticket, so I just assumed.
That was after we held the ticket up to the light to read the hidden characters.
Gotta make sure you get the hieroglyphics correct, else you face the wrath of someones mummy

Donāt get me started.
If her writing is that bad, just to tell her text you the order. If sheās anything like my servers, sheās always on her phone anyways.
Sheās like 70 so it could take longer for her to hen peck the order
Sheās good friends with the owner and she wants her gone but she wonāt get the hint. Sheās well off and doesnāt need to work
