Working in Foodservice, As Told by Bob’s Burgers

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?

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
