1. We all smell like food at the end of a shift.

2. The cooks can make or break a shift.

It's important to keep good relations with the cooks -- until they think they're gods.

3. We talk about the customers who are rude to us.

4. There are actual competitions between servers to see who walked more in a shift.

Fitbit users unite!

5. Patience is seriously exercised.

It takes everything not to roll our eyes when a customer's complains over something so trivial.

6. Tips go in our "treat yo self" funds, because we don't have extra money.

7. After a long shift, we just want to sit and drink.

8. We'll want to go above and beyond to customers who are pleasant to us.

9. We can go days without washing our uniforms.

Some of us, however, are just talented enough to spill food down our uniform shirts right after we've washed them.

10. Our diet consists of mess-ups from the kitchen and our staff meal.

For the few that work 40 hours a week at the restaurant: we don't have enough time to cook at home, let alone go to the store.

11. Pens are in high demand and we're protective of them.

12. Weekends mean different things to us.

Sometimes our weekend will be in the middle of the week and because of this we'll lose track of the actual day.

13. When you sit at a dirty table or the one we're cleaning and there five perfectly good tables next to it, this is the face that ensues:

14. We can go from biting each other's heads off to smiles that'll put us in running for Miss Universe.

15. But we're all a family.

Whether it's eating a meal together at the end of the night (or whenever we get a chance) or bickering and teasing each other, we know we'll always have each other's backs when it comes to customers being rude or even personal issues. Nothing better than going out together after a shift and bitching about the day with people who get you.
