It’s no secret that college is expensive. In order to make ends meet, many students get part-time jobs. Jobs in food service are especially common among college students and although restaurants vary, servers everywhere encounter nearly identical situations. Here are seven thoughts that every server has had while at work:
1. “Seriously…how long does it take to decide what you want to order?”
2. “Really? No tip?”
3. “If you have so many dietary restrictions, why are you going out to eat at all?”
4. “Stop asking me how much things cost and look at a freaking menu.”
5. “Maybe if I laugh harder at this guy’s jokes, he’ll leave a bigger tip.”
6. “That customer is really cute. Would it be weird to flirt with them?”
7. “How can somebody be so stupid?”
