If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you can relate! You know that there is nothing more chaotic, disorganized, and frantic. Sure, people these days find plenty to complain about with regard to their hybrid work or their HR drama or having to make the trip to the office occasionally.  And perhaps a few of those problems are justified in some sense, but can we all agree that these problems are absolutely nothing compared to what servers, cooks, bartenders, and other restaurant workers have to deal with on a daily basis? There's the physical labor of it all, the nonstop pace of everything, and then, of course, there are the Karens and the entitled customers and the poor tipping (friendly reminder to tip your servers, everyone!). If this is your life at all, keep scrolling below to indulge in some mutually beneficial commiseration! When you're done, have a look at these disastrous design fails!
