As a guy who worked as a waiter, I can tell you that every customer is special and no two are alike. And you can’t satisfy all of them. Especially, the crazy ones. And believe me, there are a lot of crazies. Recently, a restaurant manager shared a confession on Imgur, listing some of the worst things that have ever happened to him at work, and they will either make you relive the days spent serving people food or reconsider that part-time summer job offer at the pizzeria. Either way, his stories perfectly sum up the struggles of working in the industry, and while there are a lot of benefits, it’s clear that this career path isn’t for everyone. Scroll down for the read and tell us if you think this man has it worse than the IT guy. (Facebook cover image: Nan Palmero)

Please don't mess with food though... Read somewhere some people working at a restaurant just ignored any special orders (remove x ingredient because of allergy etc) and left the ingredients in... That can kill someone if they're really allergic. I get that it's super frustrating and a lot of work when people fake allergies because they just don't like some things. also pretty annoying for people who actually are allergic. (I'm allergic to some things too, I just choose food that doesn't have any of those ingredients)

I totally expect to wait for my food to be prepared and cooked to order. I am deeply suspicious of any establishment which delivers a hot meal to your table within a couple of minutes of ordering

diane a - hot food served very quickly to a table in a restaurant was simply somethings previously frozen & handed off of chef mike (microwave)!

I simply could not work in a restaurant for all the reasons above. I really admire the people that do and am sincerely grateful that they somehow manage to rise above it and keep going.

It can be fun if you're working with a good crew, but it takes a special kind of crazy to do it long term.
