Working in Foodservice, As Told by Bob’s Burgers

Service industry servants unite!

Working in Foodservice, As Told by Bob’s Burgers

Finals are over and you're back home for the summer, and it's finally time to relax! (Right?)

Nope. Time to get a job and make back all of the money that you spent on textbooks (and maybe the bars) these past two semesters.

Foodservice is popular for college students because typically summer is their busiest season and they need people until August (lucky for us!). This industry is also filled with people our age, which means new friends!

If you're like me, and spend your summer "vacation" working like a dog, then this is sure to relate to you:

The moments that only those working in foodservice (especially students in the summer) could understand!

“Can you please turn down the air conditioner? I’m cold.”

Oh, you want me to adjust the thermostat for the entire establishment because you are a little chilly?



Co-workers are your second family.


Returning customers who don’t tip. Ever.



“Hello there, how you are today?”

*Customer says nothing and proceeds to order*

You spend more of your summer vacation at work than you do relaxing at home.


Flirting for tips.



Seeing your favorite hot customer.


Food deliveries that come in the middle of lunch rush.


“Wow, this place is great. You must love working here!”


“Do you work here for fun, or just to help pay for college?”


Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July weekend, and Labor Day weekend.

“What on the menu is gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and low-carb?”


"Why is *insert menu item* so expensive?"


When you finally get off work after a long day and can go home.



Who's ready to do it all again tomorrow?

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.

After turning 16, our parents start to push us to get a job and take on some responsibility. We start to make our own money in order to fund the fun we intend on having throughout the year.
