Are you a server/waiter? please read!

I've had some awful jobs, and my last one was being a server too. At some jobs I coped with it by being plastered my whole shift. However I wouldn't recommend that if you have to carry dishes full of steaming hot food.
You're going to find people like your customers in any job where you work with the public. Its inevitable. People are assholes and for some reason, they think they can treat service people like shit. I have no idea why. You'd think common sense would tell them not to be rude to the waiter lest he spit in your food! After having these types of jobs you walk away a better person- I was always really kind and patient with working people after that because I know how much shit they have to deal with.
So your options are, obviously, either quit and find a new job, work in the bar when you're 21 (I'm not sure how it works where you live, but here you can't serve alcohol until you're 21), or suck it up and realize that you make alot of money doing this because of the extra crap you have to deal with. That's really all you can do.

Worst job ever. I had a full time, good paying job as an officer but I helped a friend out on my days off because she owned her own restaurant and was under staffed. As I was checking out a customer she made a sour face and started counting out pennies on the counter. She rolled her eyes at her friend and then turned to me and said, " I'm going to leave you this as a tip. You probably need it working as a waitress. You're probably an unwed single mother and this could help". I sternly told her that I was an officer simply helping out a friend and judging from her ratty clothing and cheap weave she should take those pennies and buy herself some class. Open mouthed she strolled out in a daze. People suck.

i believe that everybody should be a server at one point in their life. people treating servers like shit are the scum of society. they could be rich ass business men and to me if they treat servers like shit they are BELOW servers in my opinion.

fuck bitchy people for real

Hmm seems like an American thing to be nasty to restaurant staff...they're normally nasty to us in the UK but we're too polite to say anything so just smile and never go back again.

I dont really care about customers, i've worked with the public for the last 8 years and im 23. The worst part of my job is the lack of consideration from the bosses, their "ungratefulness" i've worked there for more than four years and they treat better new employees than me or other ppl that have been working there for 20 years. I think you'll get over the clients over time, it frustrates me when someone doesnt tip but i forget fast

I've never been a waiter but I always try to be nice to my waiter/waitress.
Like today my taco was undercooked and I felt really bad coming up to the cashier telling him that it was undercooked.

I've worked in the restaurant industry and most waitress(ers) hate the customers, they just do it for the money. Some people manage to do it for a very long time, but usually, it has very little to do with liking the job.

Money isn't everything though. Dunno if it would be any better, but have you thought of working in a bar? I think they make decent tips to and it might be better or might be worst but might be worth a shot.

Smoke some pot before you goto work and you'll be happy all day

Relax, take a deep breath and Just keep your head held high. Don't let stupid people bring you down. Stay strong until you find a new job that you can enjoy!:) I know that you can do it!:)
