Working in a restaurant may be one of the best and worst jobs in the world. Good because you get to work with a lot of cool people, very flexible schedule, and fairly easy work. Difficult because you get put into some difficult situations. But when the customers are not completely difficult and rude, things can run pretty smooth and you get to enjoy your job. Here are a few things that hostesses in a restaurant encounter on a shift.

1. The regulars that come in and act like they own the place

2. The creepy old guys that try to hit on you and ask for your phone number

3. The people who come in and try to wreck the seating rotation because they want to sit in a section that you just sat

4. Weekend dinner rushes

5. When the customers insist on sitting themselves

6. When you let the customer pick their seat and they still get up to move 5 mins later

7. When the servers complain to you for doubling sitting the

8. When the customer is already pointing and telling you where they want to sit without even telling you how many are in there party

9. You never have an exact ending time of your shift








10. When people try to come in and say they have a reservation. But you know they are lying because your restaurant doesn't take reservation


11. You can cary 10 cups, 4 plates, and trash in one trip to the back

12. When nowhere you seat the customer is good enough for them

13. When the customer asks "Then why are there all these empty tables?"

14 You have said "Corner" or "Behind" in public

15. The struggle of not knowing when to start your side work because you are not sure if you could get another rush or not

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
