22 Problems All Servers Can Relate To.

I love being a server. I really do. But, I work at a super busy restaurant and it can be stressful at times. The problems servers that have tend to be pretty universal, however. So, it is always easy to bond with others about the struggles of work.

If you are a server, I am sure you will be able to relate to this whole list and will have more to contribute:

1. Getting triple sat (or even quadruple sat-- the horrors).

2. Having a full section and a full bladder and not knowing which to prioritize.

3. Spilling something on your uniform as soon as you get to work.

4. Bad tippers.

5. Customers who want to chat for ages.

6. Customers who want to show you pictures of their grandchildren.

7. Forgetting to put an order in.

8. Having a table leave (because their food is taking too long) just before their food comes out.

9. Having a party of one missing from the table and not knowing if they simply went to the bathroom or left.

10. Dropping food.

11. Having to split the bill six ways.

12. When people make their own menu.

13. When people speak 100x faster than you can write.

14. Ketchup duty.

15. People walking in five minutes before closing.

16. When people insist they got (insert random food here) last time, but it has never been on the menu.

17. When people take a year to decide.

18. "I’ll have a burger, extra well done, but not dry, no bun, extra lettuce, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, but not burnt, a fried egg, no pickles, and instead of french fries can I have half an order of chips and half an order of onion rings? And can you put the sides on a different plate”

19. When all of your friends go out on Saturday night and you have to work.

20. Not being able to read an order you wrote down.

21. People who make you go through the whole list of cheeses and then choose American.

22. Having to smile through the pain of walking around for 8 hours.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
