Working in a restaurant may be one of the best and worst jobs in the world. Good because you get to work with a lot of cool people, very flexible schedule, and fairly easy work. Difficult because you get put into some difficult situations. But when the customers are not completely difficult and rude, things can run pretty smooth and you get to enjoy your job.
