What Your Waitress Really Thinks

Most people have worked a job in the food industry; if not, then I can't honestly say if that is a good or bad thing. Most people know how much waitressing can suck. You are a servant for peoples' entire experience at a restaurant. Not only that table, but usually three to five more tables. We all get it -- it blows, but people do it every day. Why? Because it's dang good money, and some people really enjoy it.

Do you ever wonder what they really think? If they are really mad that you just asked if water is free? Here are a few of the worst situations waitresses go through and questions they get asked, and what they'd really like to say back.


1. "Hi, welcome to... "

"Two cokes, one water, and an order of fried pickles."

I'm sorry, are you in a hurry? Or are you that big of a jerk? I was being polite. I'm going to accidentally forget those fried pickles.


2. "What kind of sandwiches do you have? What comes on the salads?"

You see that shiny big thing I gave you with words, prices and, oh, I don't know -- ingredients on it?


3. "It's been seven minutes since we've placed our order. Why is it taking so long?"

This is one of those moments you don't even have a sarcastic comment. You just wonder if they've ever eaten anywhere other than Taco Bell.


4. "So what are your draft options?"

I'm going to assume you are legally blind. Because they are in front of your face when you sit at the bar. Like at every bar in the contiguous United States.


5. "Do you guys need anything else?"

"I need three ranch, four ketchups, a mustard, mayo, oh and an extra Coke 'cause I drink fast."

Dear sweet baby Jesus. Should I just roll the expo cart back here and let you have it for the duration of your stay?


6. "You are doing such a great job!" (Leaves $2 tip.)

Oh, why yes I do actually pay all of my bills with compliments. Martin Rentals will love that one.


7. Drunk guy leaves his number on the tab with no tip.

Yes, you're so broke or that big of a jerk to not leave a tip on your $25 tab but, sure, you're boyfriend material.


8. Your table has tabbed out, you've cleaned off as much of the table as you can, put up all of the chairs around them, swept, turned off TVs and they are still sitting at your table.

Look, I've had a drunk guy compliment my boobs, gotten no tip from a group of jerks, had to clean vomit off the men's bathroom floor, and I'm actually contemplating murder at this point. Your best bet is to leave while I still have the ability to smile.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
