servers

Working in service has a tendency to be hellish, even without the whole deadly pandemic thing looming over our shoulders and filling up hospitals. Now? Only the most entitled Karens (who probably don't want to wear masks) are filling up restaurants in covid-ravaged states, making lives hell and tipping less than 10%. These memes go out to all the people who have had to deal with such people, and in some cases, continue to do so throughout the madness. You deserve a lot of respect.

Dining outside, in many parts of the United States, is a happy seasonal treat. A chance to take in the sunlight while enjoying a relaxing drink or some good food. But as many cities are reopening following coronavirus lockdowns (some only allowing outdoor dining) Twitter user @fresshel (Helen) felt the need to remind people of how insufferable and entitled patio diners can be. Her June 19th tweet reads:

" Anyone who has worked at a restaurant with outdoor seating already knew tht patio people do not care if u live or die"

While this may sound like an unfair generalization of people who prefer to dine al fresco, it seems that many people who have worked in restaurant and bar service agree with Helen's sentiment. In the tweet's replies, people are sharing horror stories of "patio people" and revealing that a surprising number of sadistic people actually dine in the rain - forcing their servers to get soaked or be escorted with an umbrella. Next time you decide to sit on the patio, remember these people and avoid this entitled behavior. And remember to tip your server.

While restaurant work may give us time to pursue hobbies and interests outside of "gainful" employment, it's definitely not a career that people find easy. Between front and back of house politics, to catering to the needs of entitled and rude a-holes, the gig is definitely less than glamorous. Fortunately, if you're struggling keep your cool around your manager or customers, these restaurant memes will remind you that you're sure as hell not alone. 

You'll never want to go on another first date again after you read these cringey horror stories!

We love dog memes and hyper-specific industry memes, so @fuckitsdavid deserves a whole lot of love today. This Twitter comedian made some classic dog memes and put his own highly relatable restaurant twist. If you've ever worked a shift at a busy, incestuous dining spot - you'll know exactly what we mean. Even if you've only been a diner, we guarantee you'll remember encountering one of these workers in your experiences.

These memes make us want to pull a no call, no show.
