THANK YOU FOR TAGGING THE NAME OF EACH SHOW EVERY TIME YOU POST A GIF BECAUSE IT'S SO HELPFUL.

If that’s not sarcasm, then you’re welcome.

Thank you! My taste in media is one of my only redeeming qualities. ;)

When you get through the Saturday lunch rush and no one has fucked up. 

[waiterwoes]

When another server’s table asks you for a food status update.

[waiterwoes]

When you realize you forgot to put a table in for 15 minutes during the lunch rush. 

[waiterwoes]

When you’re trying to listen to someone complain about a coworker to the boss without looking obvious.

[waiterwoes]

When your boss asks you how YOU would proceed with a customer complaint.

[waiterwoes]

When your whiniest co-worker gets stiffed by a table.

[waiterwoes]

When someone wants your Monday night close and you’d love to not work, but you need the money.

[waiterwoes]

When another server tells you your customer has a complaint.

[waiterwoes]

Going out for drinks after a Friday night shift.

[waiterwoes]

When you really need to make money off that lunch shift.

[waiterwoes]

When a weeded coworker lashes out at you during the lunch rush.

[waiterwoes]

When you’re the opener on a Saturday morning.

[waiterwoes]

That customer that just won’t order off the menu...

[waiterwoes]

The feeling of relief after successfully getting a precarious stack of dirty dishes to dish.

[chefconfessions]

That ticket will just go to the back of the line and stay the fuck there til I’m done all the real orders.

[dimetrivaljean-deactivated20180]

Ha. Ninety percent of server food tickets go in the “FuckIt Bucket.” Cookout is up the road, get a kid burger there.

[chefconfessions]

Most of the servers I work with right now are nice enough to ask ‘hey do you mind if I order such and such’ and that really makes a difference.

[beginningsofabaker]

The owner’s daughter at the Italian restaurant I worked at used to do this. She’d order a more complex entree (2 of them if her husband was there) and a shit ton of breadsticks. Her kids too. She had a daughter that’d demand shit we didn’t have ingredients for/didn’t have on the menu. And since she was the granddaughter of the owner we were forced to figure it out. We had to treat it like a normal ticket or else risk getting berated or possibly fired. I hated working there. 😑

[chefconfessions]

You’d think owners/managers would be understanding or nicer about it, but in my experience they usually aren’t- waiting til almost close to order and shit like above. :/

[nata-lagata]

Pshhh my chef would be like make their food and I’d be like……bro. are you fucking serious no. Two screens and all three of my stations slammed I’m not stopping to make a staff meal. Suck my ass. And that’s how I no longer work for that Italian fuck. Sorry not sorry.

[chefconfessions]

Good for you for sticking up for you and your team! Hopefully you’ve got a better boss now. :)

Hero status lol

[waiterwoes]

Good servers become inhuman when it’s busy. We don’t eat, we don’t pee, we don’t even need to breathe.
