Ah, the service industry. There's nothing like waking up in the morning knowing that you have to do your makeup, put on uncomfortable shoes, and spend your day being nice to people who definitely don't deserve it. But hey, at least it'll pay the bills. Hopefully.
1. When someone comes in five minutes before the end of your shift and goes, “Oh good, you’re still open!”
2. When your coworker gets seated with the family that tipped you 50 cents yesterday.
3. When the new host quadruple seats you.

4. When they redeem themselves by seating someone really hot in your section.
5. When someone complains to you about their food taking too long, even though the restaurant is clearly busy.
6. When the kitchen messes up an order and gives you the extra food.

8. When you get a table full of teenagers.
9. When those 25 girls are SO EXCITED about their bachelorette party.
10. When a cute customer puts their number on the check.
11. When you REALLY need your shift covered.
12. When someone ACTUALLY SNAPS at you.
13. When you laugh at your customer’s stupid joke but only because your rent is due in three days.
14. When a group of middle-aged men hits on you.
15. When people bring their babies in, let them throw their food everywhere, and don’t even attempt to clean it up.
16. When someone asks you to cover their shift and you REALLY don’t want to but you need the money.
17. When someone asks for a drink you’ve literally never heard of.
18. When someone threatens to complain to the administration and you KNOW your manager is going to back you up.
19. When some middle-aged lady wants an egg-white veggie omelet, cooked without butter, with dry toast and an ice water with lemon.
20. When your favorite coworker gets to leave early.
21. When you cash out after a long day and still have an hour’s worth of side work to do.
