Waitress blurts out the truth

[Ree]

I did a search and didn't see this posted already.
I found it yesterday on Upworthy and laughed so hard.

Things we want to say to customers but can't.

Everyone who ever eats out should have to watch that video. I hope the lady can make her poetry career work, 'cause she's awesome.


Ya know, that trash bag at the end? I wonder if that's Cranky . . .

That's why I'm always really nice to waitstaff. It's not the nicest job around, you're always on your feet, and people have the most unrealistic expectations of you.

Agreed. Tip well, don't make lots of demands and don't leave a mess. It's good manners.

I wish there was a way to make the job easier on waitstaff. I mean, they shouldn't have to carry half a dozen scalding hot plates on their bare arms. And I know every restaurant has different practices; some let the waitstaff use serving trays or leave water pitchers with the diners, but there should be something across the board.
