For my fellow members within the wonderful world of hospitality, we all know the ups and downs of working in the restaurant scene. I found that it is both comical and relieving to recollect on these days of working with the worst customers and the best employees, and to put our emotions to the greatest diva's of all!

How it feels walking into work:

The dreaded times of pulling open the front door and walking into the place that you spend most of your life at can be a blessing and a curse. Overall, you gotta be there anyways so might as well make the best of it.

When work tries to call you in on your day off:

Your phone begins to vibrate — you look and it's your store calling you. What should you do?! Answer?! You pick up the phone and have to figure out some crazy excuse on why you can't come in or what your plans are for the day that beat what work needs you to do.

That fake laugh you make at a joke that all customers tell:

We all know that one joke when the guest looks at their empty plate and says something snarky like, "Oh, can you tell I didn't like it?" Which then causes us to feel rage on the inside but we have to awkwardly laugh on the outside.

When you're in the back eating the "mess-up" order:

Don't lie to yourself, we have all "accidentally" rang in the wrong order when we just so happened to be mentioning how starving we are.

When the manager disagrees with a customer and takes your side:

Say whaaat? It rarely happens, but sometimes the manager that normally says, "The customer is always right," actually agrees with you.


That feeling when you break $100 in tips:

Makin' it rain, Hunty! But then you unfortunately realize you have to still do tipshare...

"May I speak to a manager?":

The dreaded question that we try our hardest to avoid.

When another server tries to take your table:

Oh honey, please — we all know what the sections are and we all know you didn't "mistakenly" take my tables order.

How you walk out when you get cut first:

As much as we love our jobs, we also love getting to leave our jobs. This is the only time it feels nice to be the first to go home.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.
