“POV you go into your besties work with wigs/dressed like hippies and act like weirdos the whole time and she never realizes it's you.”

Serves them right

Not funny

Zero to one hundred real quick

Servers are the unsung warriors of the restaurant industry . On top of being expected to maintain an impeccable memory under extreme pressure, servers have to swallow their pride and put on a smile while taking abuse from unreasonable Karens, splitting checks between dozens of drunk college students, and making sure glasses are never empty. And what do servers get in the end? Just enough tips to pay the rent and years of stress dreams about serving to look forward to. When @roastmalone_ tweeted…

Imagine if Karen was your boss.

No one wins here

With its long hours and temperamental pay, working in hospitality is not the easiest job at the best of times. Working in the middle of a pandemic has only made it that much harder. When you don’t work in this kind of environment, it’s easy to be oblivious to the worst of these working conditions . One customer received an unwelcome shock when they witnessed their stressed out server bear the full force of a rant by an angry café Karen. @kkillen My first wild Karen ##karen ##waitress ##okaykare…

A good restaurant hides its behind-the-scenes chaos well. While you're sipping wine and twirling spaghetti to the soothing sounds of smooth jazz, a 90 degree kitchen full of sleep-deprived mad lads is buzzing with energy.

Politeness ≠ flirting

Eating out is one of life’s simple pleasures — if you’re the customer, that is.

In return, it’s important to show your appreciation for this, including everything from your manners to how much you tip . However, how far we should take our eating out etiquette can be a contentious subject, as one video has recently proved. After going for a meal…

In a short and not-so-sweet TikTok post, restaurant server @kaybaltazar retaliates against some hypothetical rude customers by applying a 20% tip to their bill. Turns out people have some very mixed feelings about automatic gratuity. The video went viral, gaining over 1 million views and hundreds of comments. While some chanted words of support, others dragged OP for the snarky video and preached their hot takes on tipping etiquette. @kaybaltazar was present in the comments, asserting that the v

It can be a mean and unforgiving old world out there, and few people know that better than those who have to work with the general public. Hell hath no fury like an entitled customer ready to yell at a minimum wage worker , who more often than not has a lot on their plate before someone decides to get angry. To make things worse, many of those working in the hospitality industry are dependent on gaining tips and they are not always as generous as they could be. This is something which TikToker …

It's not an easy job.

Not something you see in every restaurant.
