10 Times to Be Thankful When You Are a Server

15027596_10210922993050119_4468433932415925177_nIn honor of Thanksgiving, I want to remind you that there are always things to be thankful for when you wait tables for a living.

  1. You are totally slammed and then you get 10-top right when you think you can’t take anymore. When you approach the table, someone says, “this is all going to be on one check and you can give it to me.”raw
  2. It is five minutes before closing time. The restaurant is empty and your sidework is done. Suddenly, a family of five comes in. When they see no one else in the restaurant, they ask what time you close. You meekly respond, “in five minutes.” They decide to go elsewhere because they know that staying would make them awful people.gphy
  3. You are starving and have been working an endless double. In the window is a plate of nachos that makes your mouth water. As you stare at it longingly, your manager walks by and tells you that it was a mistake and you can eat it. dwight-yesyes
  4. You get to work thinking you are closing. When you look at the schedule, you realize you misread it and you are actually the first cut.ql8kg
  5. A couple with a newborn baby rolls into your section and the baby stays asleep the whole damn time.giy
  6. You have a table of eight people. Four of them want cappuccinos, two want lattes, one wants an espresso and one person wants a half decaf, half regular, skim milk mochaccino with whipped cream. Your cappuccino machine is broken. isanea9
  7. You are not in the best mood to be working, but when you see the floor plan you see that your two besties are working in the sections right next to you so now you know you can get through this shift.gipy
  8. By some random coincidence, everyone in your section is from out of the country and you know your tips are going to suck. But then your manager gives you permission to add the gratuity and your life is saved.giphy
  9. You go in to open the restaurant and you discover that all the silverware is already rolled, the dressings are already full, the lemons are cut and the glasses have been polished. (This only happens when you were the closer the night before.)gy
  10. Your restaurant is closed on Thanksgiving day and you can spend that day somewhere other than the place you work.35nuvbj
