We all have a customer service voice. Go on, do it. Scary, isn't it? It's so close to your own voice, but it's uncannily different. It's probably more high-pitched, more enthusiastic, and weirdly articulate. You have to use it for your protection. You must put the mask on, lest they see your real self. Your real self is the goblin that eats leftover fries from your tables' plates and cries in the walk-in when life gets to be a little too much. Your real self could never face a table full of Karens who all want to make substitutions to their orders. Your customer service self, though? They can do that in their sleep. 

These memes are for those who know how to lock in with that voice and lock in hard. They can serve a table of 12 people, all with different dietary restrictions, and they can do it on 3 hours of sleep. Because they're just that good. Restaurant workers are the unsung heroes of the world. Today, we will sing their praises with the best way we know how, with memes.

  • These memes know what it's like to beg your manager to be cut early when it's a slow day. They know what it's like to be in the weeds, neck deep in tickets. And they know what it's like to kick their feet up at the end of the day.
