23 Pics From Being A Server That Show Why So Many People Are On The Verge Of Tears
Interview
Anyone who's worked a job where you have to deal with customers knows how emotionally and physically draining it can be. A great example is servers: on their feet all day, dealing with all sorts of Karens for not smiling enough or not being polite enough.
This is a list of waiters' worst experiences from the r/ServerLife subreddit. The rest of us should check these out not only for their entertainment value. There are plenty of lessons about what kind of entitled customers we should never be.
To know a little more about the inner workings of the subreddit, Bored Panda reached out to one of its moderators, wheres_the_revolt. She was kind enough to tell us more about what it's like taking care of the community. Check out our short interview below!

My Manager’s Response Makes Me Want To Quit. What Would You Say/Do?
blixten1982 2 years ago
I'm just in shock reading this. Is this a human being that wrote this? Or a monster? I really hope you didn't go into work that day. And quitting should definitely be on the table. I wouldn't have gone in, and if the manager asked why, "Because there was a sudden death in the family!! Did you hear me? Can you speak English?" Come on. Enough said.

My Bad For Not Following The Law I Guess. Sorry Guys
blixten1982 2 years ago
Ha ha... photo of a beer!... love it! Those laws are serious. If you don't have ID on you (no matter if you're over 18 or not), the server and establishment can be in serious trouble. Not abiding by those laws is what gets thousands of dollars in fines and businesses shut down.

32 Separate Checks
Hilary Mol 2 years ago
That's at least SIXTEEN separate checks. This server deserves a huge tip from that table, and I'm guessing that's not what happened.

I would have stopped them and said "You do know that if you tip with that then you will be charged with a counterfeit felony as it is over $5000"

The Time I Ruined This Woman’s Birthday
Jack Smith 2 years ago
unless you were specifically requesting something for a birthday celebration, WHY should the server care about your bday? they're here to do their job, not sing and do a little jig for you

I Was In The Weeds And Very Focused I Guess…
Multa Nocte 2 years ago
There are few things that infuriate me more than someone demanding a smile for a tip, like a trained animal. Funny, you never see this on a check with a male waiter . . . .

If the server had done something about the child, they wouldn't have gotten a tip from the family with the child. You can't win sometimes.

No tipping culture here... Not everybody is from the USA.

In Aus there are increasing number of restaurants and other retail shops that have signs up saying that they will not tolerate verbal abuse toward their staff. . And they get paid a set wage, rather than relying on tips.
