Yes, you are. A lot of people take a lot of delight in degrading and demeaning servers, usually for stuff that is completely beyond their control. Seeing as you don't live in the US, at least your livelihood isn't in the hands on the customers' tips.

I was a waiter at spaghetti warehouse. It made me hate people even more. I was kinda good at it though. It's a good job if you want to work on your sociopath skills because you have to be a totally fake person with the customers. In general though, it's just like that movie Waiting. The whole staff loathes the public and are total degenerates. Seriously, restaurant workers are the single most degenerate demographic in the western world.

My boss was a mad Italian who wanted me to do every job in the place despite being 18 at the time and having no training in that environment. But he was an absolute pot head aswell and hardly ever paid me. Also, the customers were often poncy retards who looked down their nose at me. At least washing dishes is comfy because you just get into a routine and can switch off, and not seeing customers is a plus.

Food industry workers are usually pretty loose.
I never drank more or dis more drugs when I was doing that shit.
Dealing customers is a little difficult at first, then you get over it and learn to pretend nice without anything bothering you. Good to learn fake social skills.

It's a meme you dip!

worst job ive ever had. i quit with no notice after 3 months. very fast paced, customers at you for the kitchen being slow, turbo normies for coworkers, movers and indians leaving shit tips after running you ragged with idiotic requests, etc. fuck waiting tables.

fucking phone. NIGGERS AND INDIANS LEAVE SHIT TIPS. also getting yelled at for the kitchen fucking up, etc. sucks.

I've been doing it for a year now. Started with mild social anxiety. What would you like to know?

Like any customer service job you learn a script and keep running with it. I prefer jobs where you don't have to talk to anyone however even if the pay is worse.

Does it get boring? Does the time pass fast?
Do you constantly need to serve customers or can you sometimes chill a little?
How common is it for a waiter to drop something he carries? That's like my biggest fear

Eurofag here:

Not boring, more it gets to be anxious for me when there is too much traffic, repeatedly. Not anxious so much in the sense of "oh shit I will screw up", but in the "oh shit there are 50 people who constantly want something out of me who I have to please". The time does pass faster when there is a lot of work to do and you are actually stressing out though.

Can chill. Less chilling in summer due to tourists, lots more chilling in winter with less customers.

I've dropped it a few times, never on anybody though. My co-workers have all dropped a tray at least once. It's a small bar/restaurant hybrid that I work in so sometimes somebody bumps into you and its unavoidable. Closest I came to spilling it on someone was dropping the glasses with ice below the table outside (not really sure how that happened), there were two cute girls at the table and they did not seem bothered at all. Other incidents were all away from tables, in corridor etc.

A social awkward male waiter will be lucky to make 1/4 the tips of an average waitress and an 1/8 the tips of a well titted waitress showing cleavage
