bartender

Whether you're a server, bartender, or line cook, we're betting that you'll find these memes very relatable. Restaurant work is tough, and anyone who claims it's easy has obviously never had to work a busy shift with 500 Karen-type patrons. 

And you're in luck, cause we have even more service industry content here!

Anyone who's never worked in retail before can never truly understand how frustrating the work is - all for ungrateful customers and very little pay. And perhaps the worst part of the job? instead of actually displaying your frustration, at the end of the day, you just gotta put on a fake smile and pretend you care about the minimum-wage work you're doing!

Labor Day is almost here, and you know what that means...working overtime if you're a customer service employee! No matter if you're a bartender, waiter, barista or retail worker, you know the struggle of working extra hard on a holiday where you're supposed to be relaxing. The grind is REAL, friends.

Perusing r/AskReddit is often enlightening and educational, but this post from today got us especially good. One curious user asked bartenders on the subreddit to share their weirdest work stories - and they do not disappoint. Now, more than ever, we salute the people who give us alcohol and tolerate all of our crazy.

Most of us have had to work terrible customer service jobs at some point just to make ends meet. These jobs are too often underappreciated and can really humble you - whether you like it or not. You've got to deal with awful customers, terrible pay, and doing jobs you really don't want to do.

So here's to you, customer service workers! Just know that we appreciate all you do!

If you've ever worked in any kind of customer service, then these memes will SPEAK to you on a spiritual level.
