The Horror.

7 Things Anyone Who Has Worked Food Service Will Understand
Wikipedia

Many people have had their first experience in the working world be in food service, heck many people make a living working food service. With this magical world of grease and misery comes many new experiences, most of which are not pleasant ones.

1. Closing

Trying to close? There will always be those people who come in ten minutes before closing time and stay until half an hour after. Every. Single. Time.


2. Customers

The customer is always right, except when they are horrifyingly wrong. It's pretty common to be blamed by a customer for things that you aren't even responsible for.


3. Filling In

It seems every time you finally have a day off, you get asked to come in from your boss. Conveniently, you always seem to be sick on those days, darn!


4. Taking Trash

Being asked to take out the trash is like a second break. You'll probably make multiple trips to the dumpster as you walk as slow as possible, only to hide for a bit on your phone.


5. Dishes

At the end of the night when all of your work is done, the menace that is dirty dishes rears its ugly head. Everybody is supposed to help do them, sure, but you seem to be the only one who will.


6. Messing Up

Sometimes you may "mess up" preparing food so that it must be disposed of. Just for the record, eating it is technically disposing of it.


7. No-slip Shoes

That's a funny joke. No matter how "no-slip" your shoes are, you will slip. Bad. Like you're walking barefoot on an oil slick bad.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”
