Restaurants are
vibrant places, full of commotion. Full
of fun, frenzy, and frustration (aren't alliterations awesome?!). I have certainly enjoyed my time working in
this industry, short though it may be. I
am currently working at a casual dining establishment; it is my second restaurant position, and my
first as a server.
Every single table,
at every single shift presents the
server with a new adventure. Sometimes
this adventure makes you hate the world and want to give every idiot in your
section a good swift slap across the
face. Twice. But sometimes it restores your faith in
humanity and makes you realize how beautiful life can be. Either way, the guests provide a server with a
plethora of interesting stories, from refusing to eat a side dish of
corn because it is "off-the-cob"
instead of "on" (when the menu clearly says "off"), to asking for the dollar menu at a sit-down restaurant!
Which is why I want to share with you stories from this crazy journey of
waiting tables.
