First Table Buzz Kill

by Jeffrey Parren

Maybe it's the hangover
of last year's Christmas season
but recently
I have really noticed
the economy's affect
on this year's tips
and every shift
I go in thinking
this will be a great day
to make some money
and with the letdown
always at the beginning,
that first table buzz kill,
being mentally
"set up for success"
means little
as I endure
last year's expectations
on this year's futility.

Well said, though specifically for your profession, this has to apply to a lot of workers out there. I really like the "first table buzz kill" line.
