12 Things Your Server Is Tired Of Hearing

We all have to eat. It's a part of life, but technically we do not all have to eat out. However, most of us do and that's when servers in the industry come into play. These people bust their hump to make sure that you have the best experience possible so it's important that you make their time worth it. Here is a list of things that your server is tired of hearing.

1. "Can I have more ranch?"

I can tell if you're just trying to drown your food or you want a straw?

2. "What would you suggest?"

I would suggest that you pick what you know you like because my manager isn't comping your meal just because it's not your taste.

3. "Are you sure this is sweet tea?"

I'm actually positive because I put 6 cups of sugar in the vat at 9 a.m. on the first part of my double.

4. "How long is the food going to take?"

8mins-tilwheneverthehellit'sdone. If you really have an issue with how long it takes please don't come to a sit-down restaurant.

5. "What comes on the garden salad? OK, can you take off 4 of the 6 toppings?"

Oh of course, because my favorite thing to do is deconstruct a salad that I made earlier.

6. "Are these all the dressings you have?"

What? You can't choose from the list of 15 that you're pointing to on the menu?

7. "OhMyGod there is no way that I could possibly eat dessert! Are you kidding?!"

No, I'm doing my job. I have to ask you if you want dessert... I know you can't fit it because you ate a pound of pasta.

8. "Can I get a refill?"

I just don't know how you go through 4 24 ounce sodas in 10 mins but that's fine.

9. "We need the kids food out first and we also need to make this quick."

Oh ok, I'm sure that everyone in this establishment would love to stop what they are doing and get your food out first.

10. "You seem busy, do you need some help?"

Oh I seem busy? Was it the fact that we're on a wait or that I was double sat or that I have a 12 top and four other tables? And no I don't need help I need you to have your order ready when I ask for the fourth time and for you to pace yourself drinking.

11. "It's crazy in here! At least you make a decent hour wage so tips don't matter!"

HAHAHA WHAT?!?!?! No, I make $2.13 an hour. Your tips (when you decide to tip properly) are what pay my bills.

12. "OMG, it seems like you're always here!"

Well sadly I am always here.. However, I don't know if it's worse that I'm always here or that you're here enough to realize that I'm always here.

Just keep in mind that we have a lot on our plates and nothing is ever personal. You never really know what that server is going through or what happened on their shift so be nice and understanding and you might turn their day around. Oh and would you like lemon in your water?

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

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.

cousins

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
