When working in a resturant

Keep the following things in mind:

• You WILL be on your feet for long periods of time. Invest in a really, really amazing pair of shoes. Tonight I wore an old pair of sneakers for 5 hours, to the awesome result of having bruised and blistered feet.
• Customers will generally be rude and demanding. Get used to it.
• No matter how nasty a mess a party may leave, you are not allowed to gag as you're cleaning up the table. This will get you mocked.
• Tips are awesome but don't expect them to pay off a car.
• Never ever EVER snitch food. That's disgusting, stop it.
• If your boss offers you free food, however, eat it.
• Waitresses are your friend! If they look like they need help carrying something, offer. They may share extra tips if you.
• No one follows the dress code exactly. Ever.
• Don't piss off the dishwashers. You're wearing a white dress shirt and they have a hose.
