I'm not going to lie. Serving is good money. There will be those nights where you make over 20 percent and you feel like making it rain at the nearest bar (or to your landlord for this month's rent). Then there will also be those nights where you make 10 percent and you want to throw down your apron and walk out but we all know you don't have the balls to do so. Yeah. Relatable I know. If you can relate to that then you can relate to these:

Bill is $19.45 and they hand you a $20 bill followed with a “keep the change."

Party of 30 - all separate checks…breathe in…breathe out.

When your table starts to pull other tables in the restaurant and your 4-top has now turned into a 20-top.

Not being their server and they are just helping themselves to your tables and now your 6 table section has a mere two tables.

But no of course the server won't let you take their tables as their party didn't take up 4 of yours.

Your table has been cashed out for 3 hours and they are still sitting in your section.

And expect you to still wait on them.

And don't tip for the amount of time they took up that table.

Parents that bring a whole box of cereal for their children to which eventually never makes it to the child’s mouth but ends up on the floor. But "hey, sorry for the mess."

And yet don't tip for their child's mess.

You bring the customer what they ordered but some how they say it is not what they ordered and by default you are the idiot that can’t read people’s minds.

That server who never rolls silverware...

Or does anything for that matter.

The middle school kids that come in and use your booth as hangout time and make it hail with pennies and dimes all over your table and consider it a tip.

And if all you have to give me is coins then you shouldn't be going out to eat.

They tell you what your restaurant does and does not have on the menu even though you've worked there for 4 years and have never carried such item.

Those customers who pay the majority of their bill on a gift card and tip based off of what was on the credit card. Oh $3 on a $10 check...your generosity amazes me.

And Whatever you do don't shake your cup at me for a refill. A server and a slave are two different things.

When customers try and stack up their trash but it ends up being the most chaotic disaster garbage pile but you can't get mad at them because they had good intentions.

When you get sat and then 30 seconds later your manager decides that you are cut. Oh thanks.

When you run another server's food and they don't thank you. Wow never doing that again.

LOL at the fact that the cooks get mad at you for your table's highly modified order.

Or when you ring in a complicated drink over and over again and the bartender secretly hates you.

Your friends don't understand the fact that you don't know what time you get off.

The greeter walking back to the hostess stand after they just triple sat you (for the third time tonight) like...

If you are new to the serving world I can guarantee that you will experience all of these at some point in your serving career or unlucky for you, maybe in one night. As annoying as these things are and yes comes with the territory of serving, it is the customers who understand how hard we work and tip accordingly, who make it bearable. As they say, work is work.
