I sold my soul to bring you food. Literally.

What Your Waitress Is Thinking As Told By Two Broke Girls

"Excuse me, waitress? Can I have another straw?"

First, my name is not "waitress," and no, your brat of a child cannot have another straw to throw on the floor for me to sweep up later.


I feel like anyone who has worked in a restaurant has heard these words before.

Ah yes, being a waiter/waitress. A job that tests a person's patience until it has reached its last little nerve, and someone is probably going to kill that nerve before your shift ends.

Let's take an inside peek at what waiters and waitresses have to deal with:

1. Why do you need 10 drinks for 4 people?

"May I please have a coke, a sweet tea and a water? Oh and lemon with all of them."

I am NOT kidding. Either this is a prime example of the health choices in the United States, or y'all are some thirsty $H**$.

Plus, I probably thought I would like you... before you ordered all those drinks.

2. Why are you telling me your life story?

Sometimes I feel more like a therapist than just a girl bringing your food.

3. Special Orders. Just... please don't. Please.

"Instead of having a regular BLT, can I get it with no mayo, add mustard, turkey bacon, and bread that was from Jesus feeding the thousands?"

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE FOOD YOU ORDERED SO MUCH PLEASE COOK AT HOME. THANK YOU.

4. When customers send food back. That they ordered.

Sometimes I will admit that food needs to be sent back. I'm guilty of it, but in the right situations (I literally found a cockroach in my food one time). But right now I'm talking about the people who send food back when it is exactly. what. they. ordered. and. they. just. don't. like. it.

5. When you're hit on. Every. Single. Day.

I wouldn't date you just based off of the way you treat wait staff, I don't know you, and I don't want to be flirted with when I'm working (it's awkward, ok? There's kids here).

6. Your $1 tip is actually really insulting.

If you think that I am worth only a single dollar, then please do not come eat in a restaurant. If you can't afford to tip, don't eat at a restaurant.

FYI: I get paid like $2-3 an hour, if that. Tips are how I make a living. Hence, why you're taught to tip. Thanks.


7. When your coworker's shift is ending.

I can tell you, working alone with mean people is like fighting in a war with a spoon as your only weapon. And you're bored because there's no one to talk to about your shift. Or anyone to laugh about all the ridiculous things you have to deal with.

8. When it's 2 minutes until closing time and people come in so your soul dies.

I shouldn't even have to explain this, other than point out how inconsiderate you are.

9. And, finally, when you're done with side chores and it's time to go home.

FREEDOM. PURE. WONDERFUL. FREEDOM.

So there you have it folks. From one waitress to the other, this is what your waitress is thinking as told by Two Broke Girls.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
