There's a very specific camaraderie you develop when working in a restaurant/bar. People are actually relatively on point when they refer to working together as "being in the trenches." When the rush comes around it's almost like you're put on autopilot. Swerving through the bus stations, screaming "Corner!" to prevent a terrible accident, and going back and forth from the table because they refuse to order their drinks at the same time.
The stress of it all is pretty unparalleled - and if you're not already in recovery, you can usually be found nursing a drink at the local bar that gives you a discount because they really, really know your struggle. And they don't care that you smell like some $200 steak and potatoes. There's a reason this world drives people to rage and substance abuse, but on the bright side, you'll make friends that you'll likely have forever. The shared struggle really brings people together, just like these server-specific memes. So here's to servers, present, past, and future. May your tips be hefty and your hangovers minor. We're rooting for you.
