10 Things You;ll Understand If You've Worked As A Server

Although it's not everyone's first choice job, a lot of us have been there. Being a waiter/waitress is often a good choice for a first job. If you've worked as a server, these are 10 struggles you'll definitely understand.

1. The embarrassment of getting an order wrong.

2. That one customer that wants to use 132 coupons to save two dollars.

3. That one customer that needs to specially order all of their food.

"A double cheese burger with extra mayo, extra onion, no pickle, little ketchup, well done, and substituted cheese, please" ???


4. Work drama.

Somehow, dealing with food all day brings out the worst in everyone.

5. Not getting tipped.

I make $2.13 an hour and just served you for an hour and a half. Don't go out to eat if you can't afford to tip.

6. Separate checks.

7. When a customer yells at you for the cooks taking forever to make the food.

8. That sinking feeling when you forget to put in an order.

9. Sidework.

10. Getting ready to get off, only to be asked to stay late.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
