Things You Hear And See While Working In A Restaurant

We hear annoying things in our everyday lives, but nothing as annoying as working with the public in a restaurant. Yes, we all ask and do these things while going out to eat. However, when actually working, it makes us want to rip our hair out. Are you one of these types of customers?

1. Where is the restroom?

Well, over there, there is a big sign that says "restroom" lit up in red. That is where the restroom is, but thanks for asking!

2. Can I seat myself?

Sign next to the hostess stand: "Please wait to be seated." Therefore, the answer is no.

3. What is on the ____ sandwich?

The host gave you a menu. It should tell you right under the sandwich section.

4. Can I sit some where else so I am able to see the TV?

I guess, but just so you know, you're messing up everyone's system, and we will all think you're annoying.

5. What do you usually tip?

I can't tell you that because I want more money than you are probably going to leave me. So, you make that choice.

6. Should I get a salad, or should I get a hamburger?

Even though I would love to listen to you decide what you want among all the choices on the menu, I don't have time, so hurry up, and make your decision.

7. "Insert some annoying way to get my attention for me to get you something."

Shaking your glass at me to get you more water, or snapping your fingers at me will not make me come to your table any faster. I will probably take more time now to come to you. Nice try though!

8. We're coming in about 6:30 p.m. Will you be busy?

I can't tell the future.

9. "Insert loud obnoxious chewing/eating."


Sir/Ma'am, did your parents ever teach you how to eat?

10. Is water free?

Are you really that cheap?

11. Can you wipe my table again?

Ugh. I already wiped, sprayed, cleared, disinfected your table, what else more do you want?

We are guilty, but let's all just take a moment to laugh about it. Next time you go out to eat, see how many of these questions you hear people ask.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
