service industry

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.

It's true that you can sometimes make bank while being a server. Unfortunately, it's also true that you'll be abused by customers, deal with MIA managers, and spend hours of your precious time doing inane side work like polishing silverware. These server memes are for anyone in the struggle. We hear you, and we see you.

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 works in or who has worked in the customer service industry will know the horrors of...The Karen. Doesn't matter if you're a waiter, bartender, call center rep, or you work at an Urban Outfitters - Karens are everywhere and they don't discriminate when it comes to speaking to the manager.

Most of us have had to or will have to work in the customer service industry at some point in our lives. Whether that be bartending, serving, or working at a grocery store, all of these jobs have one thing in common: virtually no opportunity for paid sick days, which can lead to employees infecting others and even ridicule from management if one dares to take a day off.

Writer Lauren Hough took to Twitter to highlight these problems, and we have to say that it's very informative and 100% worth the read.

And once again, here's a link to some hilarious (yet ultimately depressing) memes about our "wonderful" healthcare system!

Saturdays might be for the boys, but we're willing to bet the boys enjoy lookin' atamusing memes, tweets and Tumblr posts. We'd wager the girls do, to. So grab your buds, head to your man cave or she-shed, and enjoy these funny pics. You deserve it.

We gotta take this time to show our appreciation for all the line cooks out there who work tirelessly to prepare our delicious food with little to no gratitude. Like, damn you guys are badass and most of the time you don't even get tips or health insurance! Our hats are off to you! 

(And honestly we wouldn't really blame you for spitting in a rude customer's food.)

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.

Finally, we've done it. We've crafted the ultimate gallery of  "Karen" memes for you in case you're feeling spiteful toward all the irritating middle-aged white moms in the world who talk to down to customer service workers. 

Don't know what the hell we're talking about when we say "Karen"? Well first of all, have you been living under a rock for the past year? In all seriousness though, a "Karen" tends to be a middle-aged white mom who demands to speak with the manager at the smallest inconvenience. We all know her. 

Know Your Meme can probably explain the Karen craze better than we can!

Working in the service industry is rarely fun, but working at McDonald's seems like a whole new kind of hell. The fast-food restaurant makes it so easy to have a seamless ordering experience, and yet people can't help but f*ck it up. 

Customer service can seem like the worst industry in the world at times, but it can also be the most rewarding. Apart from the (hopefully) occasional annoying, entitled customer, some customers can really make your day. Not to mention the tips generally aren't too bad.

Thanks to Awesome Inventions for compiling these relatable memes!
