Waitressing- a long standing profession for the charismatic and hard working. Although this job can be a dream come true for those in need of fast cash, it can come with some difficult nights. Customers tend to believe that their food taking a long time, coming out wrong, or their drink not tasting good is the server’s fault, which is not true, and most of the time the server is as frustrated as the customer.
Customers thinking like this can affect the way they view waitresses as well as the way they tip. Another common belief is that waitresses make a base pay. As this may be true for small family owned cafés, it is actually the opposite for chain restaurants.
