Your feet ache, your sleeves are soaked and you have a big grin plastered on your face. You work in the food service industry and it's just another day on the job for you, but to your customers, it's connecting with loved ones, first dates, anniversaries, celebrations or just a quick stop before a soccer game. No matter how big or small, you have an opportunity to make a connection with these people instead of letting a robot plug in their orders and spit them out. From all the antics of a fry cook to the sarcasm dished out by Squidward, there is no better show to illustrate the feels that us food servers have on a daily basis.

1. People showing up before you open or after you close wanting to be served.

2. Customers complaining about a wait time and staring into your soul until there is a table ready.

3. Coming home smelling like weird food or sauce.

4. Cheap food or free shift meals.

5. Adorable babies and toddlers.

6. Cleaning up after adorable babies and toddlers.

7. Running around like a crazy person.

8. Hiding in the kitchen trying to stay sane.

9. Awesome customers that leave tips.

10. Awesome customers that don't tip.

11. Your awesome coworkers.

At the end of your shift, you are tired, drained of patience, and probably starving, but you remember that it's the most fun you've ever had working and you are never alone. Where you work can always be 300% better with the right coworkers and working in the food service industry, no matter what part of the restaurant everyone knows that it can be tough sometimes and everyone seems to help everyone.
