If you’ve never worked in a restaurant or bar before, then you have no place to ever judge or criticize someone in the field. It’s hard work dealing with the public, and people are especially picky about their food and drinks. But since you’re working for tips, you just have to smile through the rude and demanding remarks, and get the job done!
Here are 12 tweets that anyone in the service industry will be able to understand.
If you know, you know.
1) We All Do It
I don’t think it really matters what industry you’re in, if you’re training someone, you make the rules. While most rules make sense, there are certain unsaid rules that we all just accept.
2) So Stop Asking
Anyone who works at a restaurant knows that you work until they say you can leave. Sometimes it’s noon and sometimes it’s 10 pm. There is no in-between.
3) Who Needs Therapy?
Plot twist: we all need therapy. Sadly, we can’t afford it, so we simply vent to our co-workers because they can’t leave so they have no choice but to hear you out.
4) Ya’ll Rude
You really won’t understand how ignorant people can be until you deal with customers all day. Sometimes you wonder if it’s all put on just to make you miserable.
5) Sorry, I Love Mopping
Potential customers never cease to make sure that you’re closed thirty minutes after closing time. Can’t you make an exception for them just this once? There’s a five-dollar tip in it for you!
6) It’s the Schedule
Next to doctors, restaurant employees have the craziest schedules. You work while the sun is up and then some. Then you go home and sleep and do it again. Sounds fun.
7) She Isn’t Wrong
You know, she might have meant it before you got all rude on her. But now, she’s actually a little glad that it took so long. That’s the way it works in this world.
8) Try Again
This kind of thing happens more than we’d like to admit. At times, you will feel really bad about tricking the customer. But then other times, you’re kind of proud.
9) Life of a Server
No matter how hard you try, sometimes, people can get to you. Imagine being so mean that you make someone who is actually serving you cry? What an existence.
10) Silly Ole Me
Oh right! Must have left that extra arm in the kitchen! You know what, this happens so often that servers should start bringing another server or dishwasher with them to carry stuff.
11) Just Want More Rolls
This is so relatable. Who hasn’t dreamt of working all night long? It’s really frustrating because that’s your one break and it gets taken over by work. Again! Is there any rest?
12) Find a Clean One
It’s awkward cleaning a table that someone is sitting at, especially when they complain that the table is dirty. Like, there’s a clean one right there, please use it.
