1. When you greet your table and no one looks up or acknowledges you...literally crickets.

Should I just smile and wait or just walk away...decisions.

2. When you have to repeat all of the side choices to each individual person at the table.

3. You start out with so many pens then somehow lose ALL of them.

4. Go over and ask for refills, one person says yes. When you come back, suddenly everyone at the table becomes thirsty and now wants a refill.

5. Ask your table if they’re ready to order, they say a few more minutes, go over again, they’re not ready, next thing you know another server comes up to you and says they’re ready to order.

6. The most dreaded thing a table can say is... “We’re going to be here a while, we’re in no rush.”

7. Don't you love it when someone at your table decides to make their own menu item?

8. The table asks about your life and you have great conversation and they say you’ve done an excellent job but then they still don’t leave you an up tip.

9. You work so much that you start having restaurant dreams or nightmares.

10. It's closing time and people walk in. “Can we still be seated?” Response: “Of course, right this way.”

But what you're really thinking...

11. When you’re a double and first cut but your table is camping out and you end up being the last person there.

12. When you're forced to polish more silverware and roll 30 more sets because your closer is Hitler.

13. Despite it all, you become super close with your coworkers because you see them almost every day and become a family.
