'Sorry, we're closed': Servers Share Most Entertaining Experiences Working at Restaurants

Coffee mugs rattle, silverware clinks, and the grill is sizzling. You weave your way through the packed tables, refilling customers' water and delivering steaming hot plates piled with burgers and fries. Ten years in the biz, and you've got this dance down to a T. Your muscle memory serves you well as the crowd thickens. You juggle orders, argue with the kitchen, and wish your coworkers cared about their tips as much as you do. Why does it seem like you're doing everything alone? By closing time, your legs ache, your voice is hoarse, and your smile feels permanently etched on your face.

Ugh, to be a server. Can you relate? Scroll down to read an amusing and accurate thread about what it's like to wait tables in a restaurant based on stories by servers who are, frankly, tired. Next, check out this guest who checked into a hotel for 45 minutes, then demanded a full refund and argued with the staff. Customer service, huh.
