Call me old-fashioned, but I think every person should have to work a food position for at least a few months, once in their lives. I'm not the kind of person who'd generally hold a sentiment like that, but it's immediately apparent when you realize somebody hasn't.
People who show zero empathy for workers, complain about how "easy" it is to do the job, and just treat their server with complete disrespect. You hate to see it. Cut your teeth as a busser for even just a month and you'll realize that these jobs can be tough and demanding. I've been in and out of food service since I was a freshman in high school, it has to be one of the worst things I've experienced that I genuinely love.
It's a love-hate relationship for a lot of restaurant workers. Yeah, it's not fun most of the time, a five-hour shift feels like a ten-hour one, and no human being should be that numb to a stranger yelling in your face. But you learn to love it. The work itself, is manageable, but the coworkers you spend your time in the trenches with? They're like a second family. You learn to commiserate over the worst parts of your jobs.
So let's do that now! Here's a collection of food service memes for all you servers and line cooks out there. Enjoy!
