For those who have been in or worked at a restaurant before, you will understand where I am coming from. I have been working in the food industry for three years and over these past few years I have seen so much that most people wouldn't believe.

I am a 19 year old girl and I have been yelled at multiple times for circumstances that were beyond my control. I have had people scream and walk out of the restaurant like young children in the bodies of 50 year olds.

Don't get me wrong, some people are gracious, and patient and sweet to those who are serving them food but others...not so much.

Here is a list of some of the biggest pet peeves I have and I am sure other people share from working in a restaurant.

1. If you come in on a Friday night with 8 of your closest friends and the place is packed don't expect to get seated right away. When I tell you we are booked and you get upset with me, it's not my fault you forgot to make a reservation. All I can do is give you an estimated wait time of 30-45 minuets. If that is too long for you please don't yell at me, just walk out and find somewhere else to eat.

2. When we have a line of people that we are trying to check in and get seated, don't feel free to seat yourself. You will confuse us and the managers and the servers and throw off all the seating. We are not Dennys. You need to wait in line, be checked in, and then we will take you to the open table for the TWO of you, not the table that is set for SIX.

3. We just told you that your table is ready and you have been hanging out at the bar drinking. If you can not get up and walk to your table without stumbling maybe you should stay at the bar and drink some water.

4. If you come in on the weekend at night to a BISTRO (it is loud and a fun atmosphere) and you complain about it being too loud, there is nothing I can do to stop the noise. The place is packed, the bar is 'poppin' and nobody wants to turn the music down. If you are going to complain maybe you should pick a different place or get your food to go.

5. Okay this one is one of my biggest peeves. When someone comes in on a busy night and they know there won't be a table for them. They are also waiting on 5 other people to join them and they ask for the wait time. When we tell them 30-45 minutes they get livid and request to speak to the manager as if you are hiding a table from them so they can't eat dinner. All while you try to calm them down they pull the "I know the owner" card so "seat us now or he will be getting a phone call from us." The owner has no control on if we have a table available.

If you have worked in a restaurant you get why this is so annoying and if you come into a restaurant please please be aware of it.
