Hello, internets!


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.
