Very often, people ask me why I choose to wait tables when there are so many other options out in the world. I figure since Broadway star hasn’t happened for me and my teeth are too jacked up to be a male super model, I’ll just keep peddling pasta and potatoes for a living until something better comes along. I had my reasons for becoming a waiter back in the late 1980’s, the number one reason being I needed a flexible schedule to pursue an acting career. I liked working nights at the restaurant so I could audition during the day and then if I got into a show, I could switch to lunch shifts allowing me to rehearse and perform at night. That was a good enough reason for me to become a waiter and I’m sure everyone has a good one for their own personal experience. Maybe the reason is so that a parent can work the breakfast shift and be finished with work in time to be home for their kids when they get out of school. Or maybe someone likes being able to make more money per hour than they would selling a pair of Easy Fit jeans at the Gap. Or maybe they just like the way their hair smells after carrying sizzling trays of fajitas all day. What I’m trying to say is that there are lots of reasons someone chooses to tie an apron around their waist and make a living serving food. One of those reasons would NOT be what some clueless chick named Wendy said on Facebook:
I think people become waitresses for one of two reasons. Reason 1 is that they are too stupid to work a cash register at McDonald’s or Wal-Mart. Or the most likely reason is because they choose to make $2.83 an hour (and pocket all the tips) so that they can still receive their food stamps and welfare checks.
Oh, Wendy. Poor, unaware, shit-for-brains Wendy who honestly thinks that every server is a total loser when in actuality it’s anyone who says something so ignorant who is the loser of the bunch. There are so many things wrong with her statement (not to mention that Facebook profile picture) that I don’t know where to begin. I shall start at the very beginning; a very good place to start. When you read, you begin with “A-B-C.” when you blog you begin with “Oh, bitch, please.”
For her to imply that all servers are stupid is simply a blanket statement that holds no truth. I’m not saying there aren’t stupid severs because there are and I have worked with some of them. (Hey, Mo, how are you, you stupid fuck?) For the most part though, servers are not stupid. On the contrary, we have to use our brains while we are at work, unlike Wendy who probably just counts the roaches on the ceiling as she lays on her back at the whore house*. Secondly, no disrespect to people who work cash registers, but you don’t have to be that intellectual to use one. They are basically big calculators that tell you what to do and how much money to give people as change. Severs use cash registers or computers on a regular basis, so fuck off, Wendy.
Wendy also thinks the most likely reason we are servers is because we choose to make $2.83 an hour and pocket all the tips. Ummm, yeah, bitch, we pocket all the tips because that’s our fucking paycheck. She’s wrong about collecting food stamps and welfare checks. Does she think we don’t have to claim those tips as income? Does she think that the government believes we survive on only $2.83 an hour, or less in some states? Does she think that blond hair in her profile picture is fooling anyone? Plenty of servers make more than enough money to make a decent living and have no need for government assistance. Surely there are some who do, but I would say it is definitely the minority of servers. Wendy is full of shit (and Diet Coke, probably) and doesn’t know what the hell she is talking about.
Thank you to the person who sent me the screenshot of Wendy’s statement. I like to do my part when I can and stand up for us servers so that people can understand the truth about our jobs. Even if I have to tackle one misinformed person at a time, that is what I will do. Wendy, wherever you are (probably squeezed into a booth at an Applebee’s somewhere complaining that the iced tea isn’t sweet enough), I hope this blog post bounces back to you so you can read it and get a bitch slap of the truth. You need it.
* Since I don’t actually know Wendy, this is a joke. She may or may not work in a whore house. I cannot be sure. This blog is for the sake of comedy and it’s all based on my opinion. It ain’t CNN. Get over it. -BW

The only restrictions for tattoos in PA (that what state it was right?) Are that for any child under the age of 18 has to have a parent’s consent and that the parent must be present during the time of the procedure.
Alan
Isn’t it illegal for a kid that young to get tattoos? I know the laws vary by state; in general, the minimum age is 18, but some states will allow 17, maybe 16 with parental consent and/or supervision.
Catbell
This bitch is a fucking JUGGALO. She let her 13 year old son get tattooed. She is too pathetic and ridiculous to even make me angry–contempt is the most emotion I can muster. http://m.pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/juggalos-are-us/Content?oid=1334381
A fucking JUGGALO. Seriously.
DP
so…….. what’s reason #2….. or doesn’t wendy know how to count….. like every server knows how?!?!?
Heather
What are your thoughts on togo orders? Should you still tip then?
Leigh
Bitch…please I’m sure I have more of an education than you do “wendy” or anyone else that feels the same. Shit sucks…jobs for educated people are few and to be told repeatedly that you are over qualified for a position at a higher “respectful” job. Honey I hope you have food allergies or get 2 flat tires on you way home the next time you choose to dine out

Thought I’d seen Wendy’s hideous face somewhere before. She and her son were in a news article about Juggalos.

I waitedsameles because of the money, and flexible scheduling. As a divorced mom with 4 kids, I needed to be able to work a 4 hour shift but still make as much as if I had worked an 8 hour shift. It paid the bills and tuition. I am now a college graduate and a Registered Nurse. You can’t be stupid and able to explain the difference between respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis at the same time. Those concepts are incongruent. You CAN however be stupid and make assumptions about other people……
Mortgage Brokering Bartender
This girl is clueless. I have bartended and waited tables the last 20 years and done mortgages for almost 10 of those years . I make tons of money and contacts through my jobs. The people that put their trust in me to serve them booze are the same people that put their trust in me to buy or refinance their homes. I have a bachelors degree in business but I would much rather make my own hours and spend time with my family. Anyway it sounds to me like a server may have stole her boyfriend/girlfriend and now she has a vendetta against everyone in the business…..Bitter party of 1
too much
Tooo funny had me rolling I love to read and I have never laugh so hard good job omg
Annabelle
That Wendy charicter who copied and pasted that bs about why she hates servers is a dumbass. She stole that bs off another blog. Any of you who replied just wasted your time. Servers are like strollers except they keep their clothes on. You prance around and entice ppl w food and your “good” looks and bar your eyes and be at their beck n call just in hopes to get a big fat tip at the end. Tell me how that’s any different from stripping w your clothes on lolololol
Annabelle
Character* strippers* bat*
Ruthie
I’d love to just slap her!!! A tip is not “a little something extra”, it’s a servers pay. Yes Wendy, a service charge. Just like the charges you pay an auto mechanic, plumber, carpenter etc. If you want to be waited on, you pay for the service or you go to Wendy’s, MacDonalds etc. It is a SKILL. Also, ignorant Wendy, it would be reflected inthe price of your meal if Restaurant owners had to pay servers high enough wages to make it worth their while to wait on morons like you.
Dawn
I am a single mom of three kids and have been a bartender for 23 years. I have a masters in forensic science, own my own home, and sent one child through college, and working on sending another. All on my “server income” with no government assistance and no baby daddy assistance. So Wendy when you must comment on the stupidity of another based on their job status I would suggest you take a walk in their shoes before you voice your uneducated opinion. Please feel free to inform us of your career choice so I can direct my kids from that same tragedy that you are facing now.
Renée
I’ve raised 4 kids as a single mom. I’ve been a bartender now for 42 years. I’ve lived in my same home for 30 years. I’m 61 years young and I’m still bartending. I’m a people person. I’ve tried office work, but I never enjoyed it. I make people happy when I serve them. Because I’ve done this type of work my whole life, I’m well known in my community. People come to see me. I’ve provided for my family, and my children have not gone without. Today I have 4 successful grown kids, and I have 5 grandkids. They are ALL very proud of me. Walk in my shoes Wendy, before you judge me. Before you judge anyone. Shame on you.
Wendy
1. You act as if you’re my best friend
Just leave me alone ok? I don’t want to bloody chit chat with you. I want food. FOOD! Get it? It’s a restaurant. I go there to eat. I go because I want either Italian food, Chinese Food or something else which I can’t get in a McDonald’s. So I come to a restaurant to fulfill my cravings for it. I will pay for what I value – food. Not you.A waitress always has a sob story. I don’t care it is not my problem.
Christ, you offend me – kneeling down next to my table, pretending to like me and chatting as if you’re my best friend when it’s obvious that all you’re after is the tip! I’m not a bloody money bag you know. I will pay the bill which includes the cost of the food, the environment and the salaries of the people involved – nothing more.
The only way to get money out of me that I don’t have to legally pay is by prying it out of my cold dead hands…
Bottom line: I don’t want to know your name, or interact with you for any longer than I have to in order to place my order. As far as I’m concerned, you’re the equivalent of a conveyor belt that brings me my food and a computer into which I input my order. Of course, I won’t be rude. But don’t expect me to interact with you any more than I would with some stranger.
2. You don’t get paid enough
And this is my problem how exactly? It’s astonishing that customers are expected to make up for your employer’s cheapness in not paying you a decent wage. Please include the full cost in everyone’s bill thank you very much. I’ll pay it because I have to and the charge is there for me to see.
What’s really funny here is that no one seems to criticize the employers! All criticism is reserved for non tipping customers instead of the owners of the restaurant for not paying a decent wage. Wtf! Could it possibly be because you guys know you can make much more by tips and under report your income to the IRS? I honestly think $2.83 is way too much. Their rate should be somewhere around $1.75 so we can officially establish that the hard workers of McDonald’s are low/middle class, and waitresses are just low class servants.If a waitress finds it hard to wait on 5 tables per hour then how do you think they would be able to work at McDonald’s and serve 200 customers per hour? Fact is that a waitress is a step down from a fast food worker. That’s why a McDonald’s employee starts at $8 an hour. $2.83 an hour is being very generous.
3. You’ll spit in my food if I don’t tip you?
Seriously, am I even hearing this right? You’re actually using the threat of blackmail to make me pay you? Well as long as you’re openly claiming to be a criminal it’s all right I guess.
Fortunately that’s why I prefer buffets. Listen apart from it being illegal, this shows your poor integrity. But if you spit in someone’s food because they didn’t give you money you didn’t earn, then you’re a loser and deserve to be a waiter for the rest of your life.
4. Bringing me my food isn’t worthy of being paid extra
Did you cook it? Did you invent it? No. You picked it up and brought it to me. While it might not be easy, Face it – compared to other jobs, being a waiter is unskilled. You get paid what the market will think your services are worth. You don’t deserve more for your work over and above what your employer should pay you.
5. Money doesn’t grow on trees
I expect you to be grateful and pray for me at night if I tip you 10%. Be happy I gave you anything at all. I worked for the money in my wallet and by giving you some I didn’t have to, I’m doing you a favor. Learn to remember that when people give you something they don’t need to, it’s a favor. You don’t complain that they didn’t give you more!
6. ServANTS
I don’t tip servants, that’s silly. They should pay me just to dine in their fine establishment. My bill is always OVER $40.00, The owners are happy. Who cares what a worthless single mother thinks. She already made bad mistakes and working as a waitress is another one. I never knew walking back and forth is a hard skill to learn
7. If you can’t afford to tip you really can’t afford to eat out
Yes,I can afford to eat out but im not paying a waitress for serving me,She is already getting paid from her employer,Once again,Not my fault you chose to work as a servant.
8. We only Pay for the Food. Service is Extra
The menu price doesn’t include just the cost of preparing the food and paying the chef. It includes the restaurant setting, the tables, the cutlery, the effort and investment that the restaurant owner has put into the dining area. Now guess what? Since I’m paying for it, the restaurant has to give it to me. And how do they accomplish this?
Waiters. Ding ding!
See without waiters, the restaurant has no way of delivering the dining experience to me that I’m paying for. I’m paying for sitting down in a nice place. I’m paying for the air conditioning. I’m paying for the nice tablecloth and for my food to be delivered to me in a reasonable time. The menu price covers all this. Waiters are just the restaurant’s way of bringing me my food. Of fulfilling their part of the contractual obligation.
Bottom line. Servers are not independent contractors. They’re not an “extra” that you have to pay for. By hook or crook, the restaurant needs to deliver the product. Whether they use waiters or conveyor belts (a term that many seem to object to), is not my business. I don’t care. The waiters can just melt into the background and let me enjoy my food in peace. If the menu includes free refills or whatever, then waiters are required to deliver that as well. Why? Because…wait for it….I paid for it!
9. Waiters are Struggling Mothers/Students
Look, it’s not as if I don’t have sympathy for those who struggle in life. I just don’t think it’s my problem. And I specially don’t like it being impinged upon me. Generosity is one thing. Having money demanded from you is something totally else. Any tip I give is out of the generosity of my heart and I expect some gratitude for helping those in need. It’s not something I have to do since…refer to Myth 1.
Bottom line: Socially mandated tipping is a scam. I can’t believe how intelligent people have been hoodwinked into it. Probably because they like to come across as “nice” people and feel sorry for servers who hover around looking expectantly. Well, I find that irritating and I won’t buy into it.
10. Name calling
You cant even handle an opinion that is different then your own,You must name call,Use foul language,Stalk my page like im going to make it open to the public all a sudden or add you as a best friend lmao.
Some of you “say” you are employed in Education and yet you type as if you were 6 years old & the language you use,So glad you werent teaching my child,Maybe this is why you had to turn to being a servant,Afterall,Servants take zero skill,Anyone can walk back and forth and wear a fake smile.
This is why you are just a servant,Your at the bottom of the food chain,You are bottom feeders!!!
Have a great day
Joe
shut up skank-bitch

Dear Wendy,
Are you trolling? Or do you truly feel this way? I’m so sorry if you do. Ultimately, most people’s jobs involve some form of customer service, and none of us wishes to be thought of as a “servant”. I am a waitress-turned-physician, and honestly, the two jobs are extremely similar…and just as difficult. (The main difference is that now I get screwed over by insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid instead of by non-tipping customers.) Whether or not you like the customary tipping in American food service, it’s unfortunately here to stay, just like our healthcare system.
I actually DID like most of my customers. I love people and I’m going to talk with them. I do it in my office now and my patients love me for it. If you prefer not to talk, a gentle request goes a long way.
Even after almost 30 years in service industries, I still believe most people are good inside. I also still believe in the Golden Rule.
Just so you know, some doctors are single moms…including those of us who were widowed at 35. You don’t know everyone’s life story.
–Dr. Tracy (a waitress-turned-primary care physician)
FormerRestaurantManager
Obvious Troll is waaaaayyy too obvious.
FormerRestaurantManager
Well, let’s take this point-by-point, shall we, Wendy… See if you can follow along.
1. We act as if we’re your best friend
Well, no, we actually don’t. Most of us have real best friends, and we treat them really well. What we do, in fact, do is treat our guests in a kind, friendly and respectful manner, because yes, we do want to **earn** your tip. If we wanted to just steal money from *you,* I doubt it would be that hard. Likely our walking back and forth all shift means we can outrun your tubba-blubba behind, assuming you weren’t too busy choking out your pie-hole with copious quantities of food.
2. You don’t get paid enough.
Actually, most good servers and bartenders make significantly **more** than mandated minimum wage, and for the few hangers-on that somehow manage not to make minimum wage (despite the numbskull efforts of people like yourself), the restaurant is *required* by law to pay minimum wage. Further, servers who fail to accurately report their tipped income can suffer consequences such as getting declined for loans (can’t prove income), job loss, and prosecution for tax evasion. The employers cannot pay more, because cheapwads like yourself will piss and moan about a 25 cent increase in your all-you-can-eat food trough.
3. You’ll spit in my food if I don’t tip you?
No, actually, no professional server ever will. We’re better than you. But we might dream of sh*tting in your food. But it’s just a fantasy.
4. Bringing me my food isn’t worthy of being paid extra
Then go get it your damn self. You could use a walk.
5. Money doesn’t grow on trees
No, it doesn’t; that’s why servers work so hard to earn tips. Professional servers want to *earn* your tip through hard work, accurate timing, menu knowledge, friendliness and more. 10% is significantly below national tipped average (the last restaurant in which I worked averaged 17.5%, and I personally averaged about 22%), and most servers would assume you would cheap and probably would pray for your soul.
6. ServANTS
You probably thought you were clever, capitalizing “ants” like that; I know because I can still smell your brain burning from here (and I’m *not* in the US). We’re “servers,” dumba$$, not servants. Congratulations, you’ve been promoted to the 2nd-grade insult team.
7. If you can’t afford to tip you really can’t afford to eat out
Well, we know your pocketbook is as tight as the waistband on your Incredible Hulk-sized stretchpants, so there’s not really much more to say here, eh?
8. We only Pay for the Food. Service is Extra
Right, which is why you tip. You contradict yourself, but you can’t see that over the pile on your buffet plate, can you?
9. Waiters are Struggling Mothers/Students
Yes, you are without sympathy. But, but… you did get something right here- it’s not your problem. Nobody is actually making anything your problem; servers are working their butt off hoping you’ll tip them appropriately. That’s not making it your problem. Absolve your guilt elsewhere.
10. Name calling
Pot-calling-Kettle-black. You post something so disgustingly offensive and have the stones to complain about other people acting offended and some of them even dropping to your level so that maybe you understand it? Get over yourself. You deserve to be called names because you are a troll, and an attention-seeker; you are essentially a keyboard-warrior-wannabe. You are a fool and a moron. Before you begin criticizing the grammar of other posts here, you might want to go back to 1st Grade and have the teacher evaluate yours- it’s disgraceful. You think your sh*t don’t stink; it does, you just can’t smell it over the steaming bullsh*t pouring from your mouth.
11. My own point
If you don’t like the service industry and restaurants, why don’t you just cook your own food at home? Most of us like or liked our jobs and careers in the service industry, or we moved on. It is because of people like you that servers need websites and blogs on which to bitch so we can go in and smile at you with a modicum of sanity the next time your Jabba-a$$ trundles through the door.
Stephanie
I just want to say, that I tried to be a waitress and I couldn’t handle it. The reason I tried to be one is because you can make a lot of money. The reason I failed is because while I don’t consider myself to be particularly dumb, it is a hard job. I had trouble juggling all the work in a time efficient manner and my arms weren’t strong enough for those huge trays. I dropped several trays, which is mortifying enough to do in a restaurant full of people but then to also have a very angry owner screaming in my face that I have to pay for all that food…well, enough said. I didn’t actually quit though until i dropped the last piece of a particular cake on the floor and watched the owner pick it up make it look pretty and serve it anyway. That was my last day. So to the people that are waiters and waitresses I think you deserve a high five or a gold star or something because I for one, could not do your job. I tried to watch my grammar and spelling in this comment. If I missed anything, kindly get a life, you obviously need one if you spend your time correcting other people’s spelling and grammar.

we’ll take a shot lol but yea i agree with the article as well.

I’m not certain you’ll have any reason to tie an apron around your “waste”. Your waist, however might be an appropriate place to tie it. I have been a server for 10 years & I most definitely agree with you, but it’s probably not good to have such mistakes in an article defending your intelligence.
Jeff G.
Dumb fucking fat-ass, white-trash, uneducated, traier-park living, pickled pig’s feet eating, slanderous assumption making, bitch. The only thing remotely salvageable about your double-wide inbred ass is you didn’t say, “Well, I used to wait tables.. “. Not for lack of applying, I’m sure; seems the constant response of, “We’ve chosen a more qualified applicant…” has finally taken it’s toll, and made your un-hireable ass bitter! Lady, if you decide to continue to dine out, I strongly recommend a spot with serve yourself salads: your ass needs a diet and you now can never trust any food brought to YOU by one of us government subsidized sucking, system cheating, kick-ass servers!! Eat shit, lady. And yes, you can have extra ranch on that shit-which.
FormerRestaurantManager
The question is…how far do they have to shift the table so she can fit in the booth at Applebee’s? (We all know she’s the type that will ask for a booth *after* you take her to a table. Probably dumps packet Crystal Light in her water…with 3 sugars.). I guess it is a good thing she’s pissing off servers across the world; she could stand to skip a meal or three (it’s not glandular, when the glands are your hands moving food to the other gland, your mouth, you know…).

Born 29 September 2011 ·
This is a woman who seems rather helpless in life, and unable to make good choices. Perhaps she’s just going through some sort of terrible toddler phase… Bombarding her with messages isn’t going to change her mind- she’s the type of entitled shitty person that will always be the same. Beware people of Rostraver Township, PA (& those who live in the general vicinity)- I wouldn’t serve this person if I were you.
Chrissy
The basic truth, is that we need servers, just like we need taxi drivers, cashiers and Walmart employees. This world would be pretty jacked if we were all lawyers and doctors. I have been a server, a credit analyst at a large bank, management in a fortune 500 company and yes, even a Walmart worker. My income has ranged from 20k a year to over 70k over my life, and to be frank, I was happiest working the 20k jobs than the others.

Well first off i make 8+ an hr. I live every day with money … I don’t live pay check to pay check… I DONT live off the states programs… I have worked for Walmart …last and for most… Wendy… Stop bitching cause we make more money then you do in a year and we still get mimim wage..lol :p
Renee Procise
Unfortunately,I was a server with $70 a month in food stamps;but only when I had 5 operations in 10 years and had to take two months off each time.When I was able to work again;I’d cancel them.
Single parent working two jobs and went to college twice during that time.It took a long time to get out of medical debt;but I did it and bought a house/good car.
When I was a teacher;I could make the same wages in one night of bartending at my weekend job!(and this is for you,Wendy;I had an IQ of 140 when I was 16 years old)

Fuck that ignorant bitch. I have waited tables for 7 years (19-now) and have never in my life needed welfare or food stamps, AND I run the damn register..2 of them.
Expensive taste
I work during the week at a school but I make more money serving on the weekends and I said weekends than I do in two weeks at my school job. It’s so sad that people really are that ignorant. Go fuck your self Wendy. You must really hate your life to put other people down like that.

Good one Debbie!!!

As I have commented before, where the hell would people go to socialize, enjoy delicious cocktails and food they don’t know how to prepare if there weren’t hundreds of thousands of servers to take care of them. Bitch if you want, complain about bad service, but if your server made you feel at home and helped you and your friends enjoy your time out, 20% will do. Thanks
Sassy Server
I would love to “Serve” Wendy someday! Muahahahahahahahaha what don’t people get about biting the hand that feeds you?
jon
I have a teaching degree and every year during summer break my “dumb ass” waits tables for extra income. I mean I still get paid from school because my contract runs august 1 to july 31 each year so why not work to make a little extra. Last summer i worked lunch at a chain restaurant monday through friday except for Wednesdays and i doubled every saturday and brought home around $600 a week and on some weeks i made over $1000. Nothing like working a double on a Saturday when a big baseball or softball tournament is going on. Cha-ching!!!!
Stefanie Shumaker
Wendy is obviously uninformed. I personally became certified as a nursing assistant and then went on to work towards my degree in psychology. I worked several odd jobs while raising my three daughters by myself and going to school. Now that my children are grown, I made a life change and started serving. Why? Because I actually love my job. I make good money and lasting friendships with regulars and coworkers. Yes, it’s hard work but it is much more satisfying than sitting behind a desk all day getting ass-rot.
HaileyKelly
Yes! I am so tired of people asking me what I’m really doing with my life. While I am finishing my bachelors (with honors) in Political Science and choose to wait tables so that I can also volunteer and go to school full time, that is none of their business. My life partner busses dishes at the restaurant where I work and he is ex-Navy (a linguist) and busses tables so that he can finish his double major in Poltical Science and Geology. We do this because it gives us a good schedule, because we have cash on hand daily and we can work together which cuts down on commute costs. We are upstanding members of society and work hard as hell to make it, while trying to facilitate the life of our dreams. Ugh.

Wendy obv sits her fat ass at a desk all day!! I’m a nurse and work 2 days a week as a server/bartender to pay my school loans. She’s ignorant and obv has no idea what goes on in other ppls lives.
Kimberly
When I was a server, you definitely HAD to claim your tips. You couldn’t clock out at the end of the night unless you put your tips in the register (and they had to be at least 10% of your total orders for the night). And of course, most people pay with credit or debit cards, so you can’t get out of claiming that since it goes in the same register. Basically, I’m just saying what pretty much everyone who has served in a major chain restaurant probably already knows. You can’t pretend you make $2.38 an hour and collect welfare. Doesn’t work that way. And most people wouldn’t even try that.
Kristen
Bartending gave me the flexibility to earn my four degrees. And prepared me for how to be a professional. Service, NOT servant. And from the look of her profile picture, Wendy is lashing out because she couldn’t hack it as a waitress. What an ignorant bed wetting bitch.
Ezmeralda
Knowing that my children had many advantages starting off in life, I insisted that they do food service jobs before setting out to seek other paths. If you can wait tables or cook in a restaurant kitchen, you know you can deal with all kinds of people, and how you want to treat people forever after. One of the married ins is incredible behind her counter, changing lives with her attitude all the time.
Lilly Kay
I think people like Wendy should have to do our job for just one day and see the bull shit we have to deal with so she can see what it is like to bust ypur ass for 12 hours and only leave with 60 dollars and I bet her attitude would change

One day isn’t long enough for these window lickers to truly understand. They need a week, preferably during a red hat lady convention. Yes. They have CONVENTIONS.

Please tell me you’re in the process of Mad Magazining The Sound of Music as if it were a singing blog! ‘Cause I would pay much money to see that!

I am one of those people that can’t be a waiter/waitress. I tried, but found that I can’t tolerate blatant ignorance. I always believed that I was a non-violent person, until the “customer” convinced me that it would be worth the consequences to slap the stupid out of them. So, that being said, y’all have my utmost respect for doing a job that regularly exposes you to the worst in people. I have always thought that everyone should have to be a food server and a hotel maid. Ones entire outlook towards those jobs would be forever altered. Again, my complete respect….

Totally. I worked at a hotel front desk for about a year and a half, and found that I’m really not a “people person.” I just have no tolerance for moronic complaints and lack the ability to act like I do. I currently work at a bank in the corporate office, and part of what I like about my job is that when there’s a problem, we email the branch and they call the customer. So awesome.
But I agree that everyone should work in customer service at some point. The world would be a much nicer place.

Wow I am working on my masters degree… sorry that going to college isnt cheap.

I don’t usually do this but god damnit Wendy. I made 65K waitressing last year so fuck you. I can’t stand people who say shit like “what do you do in your real life?”. People are so ignorant and misinformed.

I work as a waitress at a restaurant. I also on occasion work to-go’s, hostess and Bada Bing the cash register! I recently interviewd and recieved a job as bank teller that guess what….I turned down….why? Because working as a waitress I 1) make more money 2) have more flexible hours 3) I actually enjoy my job! The painful truth is it takes a whole lot to be a kick ass waitress. There is a lot of energy, strength, stamina, and personality that this job requires that most people lack also patience and tolerance for complete idiot customers such as yourself! In reality I have a higher income than a lot of people I know who work “respectable” jobs or careers……sooooo, get over yourself.

The diet coke comment made me spit out my water while I read it. Hahaha.
Michelle
“I cant no longer bend & get on my knees like i used to…but thanks LD” was one of her more scintillating responses to one of her pictures. Now THAT’S the epitome of intelligence, grammar and punctuation, Miss Wendy. Maybe the whorehouse comment wasn’t too off the mark, BW!

Has anyone else looked at this cow’s page? She is literally Jabba the Hut with a bad dye job standing next to a 60 year old child molester looking Cupid. How this cow has the nerve critize anyone is beyond me.
nichole
What a dumb bitch!
She couldn’t handle being a waitress. Standing looks difficult for her, especially for long amounts of time.
I’d live to meet Wendy. Shove my $2.83 down her fat gullett!

If you want to let Wendy aka White Trash know how you feel, I looked her up on FB. https://www.facebook.com/Wendy15012?fref=ts Have fun. What a piece of work.

Now, having seen her Facebook page, I believe she has already suffered retribution — apparently, about 65 years worth — for her ill-informed comments.

Wendy, you should look at the messages and report each and every one of them for abuse and aim to get their accounts suspended!
Monica R
Not sure what this means but sending messages is not abuse. Threats, intimidation etc. are considered abuse Chris Chandler. You are allowed to send messages disagreeing with something someone posted. Duh.
Nick
haha you’re like that kid that the teacher told to watch the class when they left the room, still don’t have any friends huh??
Nick
Oh Wendy, I don’t know what’s better, the thought of someone actually spitting in your food or the fact that you’re going to think every time you eat out “is this the dish someone finally spit in”. The torture will be glorious for you, and I say torture because look at you, we know you love food. Drooling for tips, girl you look like you drool when you feed your dog, what’s that movie with Cher….um…Mask, yea that’s it, I always wondered what happened to the guy that played Cher’s son in the movie, we finally found you Wendy, are you going to be doing a Mask part 2 I wonder. Avoid all those future dishes with spit in them and you make the weight. Sleep tight Wendy,
amy
Lol….I love you!!! Straight out you hit the nail on the head every time!!!I waitress cuz I like money in my pocket everyday and I can take care of my baby in the day while daddy is at work and he can take her at night while I work….I am also in school to be a nurse so it gives me flexability to go to collage at 41 years of age….I’d love to see her take a section of ten tables for a six hour shift, and then tell us how stupid servers are after that shift!!!
Chris
I also love this response, and can certainly identify with it….It just pains me to see you misspelling “flexibility” and “college”… I suppose “Cuz” is fine because it’s become a part of our dialect, but you’re kind of reinforcing the stereotype from the original post.
Anonymous
Not really, since the original post was saying servers are too stupid to use a cash register and just collect welfare. Her post about going back to college is the opposite of that….. Not everyone is great at spelling. Dyslexia exists.
Nick
Chris, shut up, if I’m not sending in a paper I don’t give a good you know what about grammar, doesn’t prove anything, when someone is replying on this the lack of punctuation actually shows emotion. Chris, just shut up
Sylvia
Wendy needs to have every follower comment to her i work for the public school system I am well educated but my bartender position pays more than my government job she can suck balls better yet I wish would tell it to the next serer she encounters face so they can refuse service !!
Aura
Wendy be trippin balls. She be jealous of servers, ’cause she be working at Walmart.
Jam
You work for the public school system? That makes so much sense. No wonder our youth is stupid. Learn AND USE punctuation. Seriously.
Sincerely,
One smart-ass waitress.
Jewy
^This is why people don’t respect servers. We don’t even treat each other decently.
Sincerely,
One Nice Server

“Youth are stupid” not “youth is stupid”
Seriously?

You must be young because our youth are stupid.

You sound like a dumb wop bitch that doesn’t shave much of anything.
