Gaining customer service skills is a tough job that nobody is ever really prepared for. Customers will give you shitty tips, sometimes you forget their order, or just get to serve some overall horrible customers, for whom even the best service is always wrong. When these things happen while working at a restaurant, a smoke break, and a cry in the storage closet not always can fix - waitstaff need a healthy dose of work jokes to survive it all, too.

The list below are some of the hilarious job memes and creative ways in which restaurant workers deal with the chaos that is all just part of the job. From taking a silly joke a customer said quite literally, to funny messages on receipts, these funny people know that humor is the only way to keep your sanity on the job and gain good customer service points. So scroll down and don't forget to upvote your fave funny photos as a tip!

    Why do men use pussy as a word for weak, when a pussy can push out another human while you can incapacitate a guy by just kneeing him in the crotch a little.
