45 Of The Most Relatable Memes And Posts For Those Working As Servers, Waiters Or Waitresses

I *love* people like this. If you can be anything, be kind.

Me searching the comments with more enthusiasm than a duck eating peas

This is so amazing. Getting complimentd like this would definitely have brightened my day and made my shift better.

Someone needs to get their screen replaced

Awww

So apparently working as a waitress to support yourself (and your family) is frowned upon and quitting your work as a waitress because of the terrible working conditions is also frowned upon. Got it.

Whether you like her or not, the fact that she was a waitress is nothing for her to be ashamed of

I have so many thoughts on this, I'm about to write an essay on my phone. And I fully expect to get down voted into oblivion for a couple of them. Let me start off saying I do bartend and serve, and it can be brutal. After constant shifts understaffed and overworked, I really am tired. And I can completely agree with AOC's tweet, as long as she is talking about the republicans that actually sit in Congress. I bet if you took every single one of them and put them through what I've gone through, there would be less than 5 that didn't crack. Same exact thing applies to the democrats though. If you dare try and say Nancy pelosi would handle a cranky 12 top with grace, you should not share your opinion anymore. That's probably my biggest problem. This isn't a republican democrat thing, this is an old rich geezer vs desperate and trying anyone thing. And her saying republicans can't do this shows me she just doesn't care. I'm out of space but I do have more to say. Some even nice

they can't handle real work

Republicans making fun of someone who actually works for a living? And yet they somehow manage to con so many working people into voting for them. Congress needs more members who have actually had to work for a living.

Eh, I'd prefer honesty. A sincere amends can go a long way in situations like this.

I knew it!!

Worked every time lol!

so…animals?

I've always thought it would be a good idea to test products on the subhumans who abuse animals.

And cashiers, and technicians, and stockpersons, custodians, maids...

🤣

Amen

And they tip you in bibles and religious pamphlets. Thanks! My landlord totally takes these instead of money for rent.

Worked a place like that. One of our servers had a collection of those fake $20 bills that were covered in bible quotes. That was before Trump and MAGA thank god.

Some of the most judgemental people I've ever met go to church on Sunday. They think they can treat people poorly every other day of the week but because they pray and go to church, God says it's ok. Nope, sorry that's not how that works. Thankfully, some I know actually practice what they preach.

Yep, I think people forget where they've been when they walk out the church door.

I already went on a massive rant 2 posts up, but this one is straight facts. The post church crowd, nearly everywhere, nearly every time, will be the worst crowd you ever have to deal with, that makes you consider even going back to your job the next week. And that's before they stuff you on the tip, or if you're lucky leave a card talking about love and jesus

Many times I have had to tell many people (side eyeing my husband, mom and MIL now) I go out to eat with that just because there is an empty table doesn't mean the restaurant isn't busy. If there are 40 tables and only 3 servers and a busser you are not going to get great service so don't insist on being seated. That also means that they likely only have 1 or 2 people in the kitchen. These are human beings that are working in restaurants ya know. You aren't literally starving.

Nope, bc then they'll say "no!! You need to clean off this table right now!!! We want ...." and then lists off 5 different drinks while berating you the whole time for not having sat them sooner or cleaned the table. While literally none of this is their fault (the server). I did this for about 10 years (while in college and then after my divorce to make extra money). And because our country still treats them like 2nd class citizens who don't deserve a living wage and makes them practically whore themselves out, just so they can afford to live on this planet, I always tip extra. It's a hard job, no stability, and still we have people who treat them as their own personal servant for the time they're dining. As long as servers aren't making at least $15/hr, I'll be tipping as much as I can. I mean, I rarely go out to eat, bc it's kind of an extravagance right now, but when I do, I make it worth it

Oh I vist many countries and I prefer clear signs. Wait to be seated avoid me sitting on the lap of the customers at the window that want to leave/or I like to speed up that they leave. Seriously, it is different in every country, sometimes it depends of the typ of restaurat. Signs help. Really

Are guests expected to know what the procedures are? There's been plenty of times I've walked into restaurants and "waited to be seated" and then told to "sit where you'd like." And, yes, even if the tables still needed to be cleaned you were allowed to sit there.
