Working in a restaurant definitely has its ups and downs. For the most part, it's easy, quick money if you're a waiter, waitress, or bartender. Depending on where you work, the hours aren't terrible and your coworkers make the shifts bearable. For a college student, it's a great part-time job and a way to make extra cash. However, working in a restaurant requires you to interact with customers and cater to their ridiculous demands every shift (even on the days where you would rather crawl in a hole than be social). This is a list of things us restaurant employees are incredibly tired of hearing.
1. Waiter: "Hey guys how are you doing today! My name is --"
Customer: "Water."
Thank you kindly for interrupting me!

2. *Taking customer to table to be seated*
Customer: "Ummm actually can we have that booth over there?"
Sure! It hasn't even been cleaned off yet and I would love interrupt rotation for you.

3. Customer: "So what comes on that?"
Well you see we have these handy things called menus that you're actually looking at right now that tells you "what comes on that"... nifty right?

4. Customer: "Hey can you make my drink stronger next time?"
You want a double shot? You pay for a double shot.

5. *After finishing drink/food*
Customer: "Yeah, I actually didn't really like that... can I have something else?"
Well, seeing as you finished your entire meal, it couldn't have been that bad.

6. *Party comes in 10 minutes before close*
Customer: "Can we have a table for 20?"
You are an awful human being for making us stay longer than we need to. We do have lives!

7. *Bill is $49.46*

8. *Brings check to table*

Ah yes, because that one never gets old.

I would really appreciate if your kids didn't throw french fries and grind them into the carpet.
