'I freeze. I realize instantly what I said': 20+ Waiters who accidentally said what popped into their heads

Whoops… these waiters mixed up their words a little bit!

It happens to all of us now and again: we mean to say one thing, then think of something else to say, and then combine the two to make one dumb phrase. It's like that scene in Mean Girls when Cady tries to say "great" and then "cool" and ends up with "grool." Except that these people were waiters, and they were talking to their customers when they made their mistakes.

Unlike other service jobs, waiters work for tips from their customers, so it makes sense that a lot of them were completely mortified by their slipups. Instead of just letting it roll off their shoulders, they have to worry about if that customer will still tip them, and they have to try and make it up to the customer before the bill arrives. Luckily, most people's mistakes weren't that bad---their customers probably won't even remember them in a few weeks. But clearly these little goofs keep the waiters up at night, and they've kindly shared their funniest stories to r/ServerLife.

Next, this company paid big bucks for a booking app to help keep them organized, but they had to tell them, "Won't fix your buggy software? Fine, pay our bills."
