A few months ago, I got my first ever serving job at the local Red Lobster. In just a few short months, I have learned that serving is one of the hardest jobs in the world, but it's also one of the best jobs you'll ever have. Here, I have compiled a list of all those server feelings we know to be true.
1. When guests cut you off with their drink order before you can even introduce yourself.
2. When your manager starts making cuts and you're one of the first.
3. When you're in the weeds.
4. When you're in the weeds and you get sat again.
5. Getting to know your coworkers by drinking heavily after a busy Saturday night.
6. When guests come in 10 minutes before closing.
7. When you know you've treated a table well and they don't tip.
8. Whenever you screw up but they still tip you well.
9. Pretending to laugh at the creepy old man's joke.
10. When you're cut but you still have sidework to do.
