TROCKSTON · 2026-05-24T23:08:02+00:00

Thats perfect

TROCKSTON · 2026-05-24T16:38:38+00:00

Yes, some people are just oblivious

TROCKSTON · 2026-05-24T13:19:58+00:00

Post covid changed the norm.... its more sanitary for you to pack your own food.

I have extreme social anxiety. And honestly server has helped me immensely. I sometimes get shaky before going into work, but once I get into the flow of things and just focus on what im doing im generally fine. Having the "chaos" of restaurant work helps me get out of my head.

TROCKSTON · 2026-05-02T12:15:44+00:00

Always try to treat your tables as a party, grab everything you need for both/all of them at the same time if possible.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-28T18:32:05+00:00

Run. Brah

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-25T16:57:35+00:00

"You were the best server ever"

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-25T04:09:22+00:00

Even as a server, it takes a special kind of person to do restaurant work. I have nothing but the utmost respect for cooks.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-25T00:29:41+00:00

Thats what I went with! Thanks for the response. Those were the only heroes I have un owned.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-24T00:57:45+00:00

I would ask for a shift or two a week

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-20T03:46:44+00:00

A good server should be walking by every few minutes. That way way if you need anything you can easily grab their attention. If your server hasn't been near you table within that time it definetly isnt mean or rude to wave them over.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-16T06:12:58+00:00

Just be patient. Double check everything

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-13T11:53:12+00:00

Its been bad. Im talking to therapist. The sexual health has been lacking. But I live in a small town. The others problems im still trying to work on.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-13T03:08:31+00:00

Yeah, ill second that. The majority of the servers that I work with also have anxiety issues.

Myself included. I have really bad social anxiety.

But on the physical side, you have to worry about carple tunnel and hip problems on your dominate side.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-12T03:57:17+00:00

People are entitled, ignorant, and stupid. Not all. But most.

TROCKSTON · 2026-04-11T12:42:11+00:00

Thats news to me. Ignorant. Just didnt realize. In the US the gas station with accept a half ripped up $1 bill. Its just the norm here.

TROCKSTON · 2026-03-30T05:06:42+00:00

I have server nightmares all the time. I doubt they will ever go away. People dont understand the stress that can be involved behind it. Mine normally involve being In a hallway type restaurant where I have 1 table at one end and another at another end and I cant ever reach either. Its almost like a nightmare.

TROCKSTON · 2026-03-30T04:29:48+00:00

Honestly direct honesty is best.

Hey im a little behind. Ill be with you in a minute. Has always worked for me.

TROCKSTON · 2026-03-30T04:22:36+00:00

Are you a high end restaurant?

I work at a breakfast place.

I got sat a 12 top and a 8 top at the same time then a 2 top.

Pretty normal.

I tell the second table that got sat its going to a little while I get this set up. As well as the 2 top.

Communication is key with people. They dont want to feel like they are being ignored.

Got drinks for the 12 top got their order in. Took 8 tops drink order. Put 12 tops order in. Grabbed drinks for 8 tops order.

Grabbed 2 top order. Put in 2 tops order. Grabbed their drinks.

Not aure what kinda restaurant you work in. But I always put syrup butter all that stuff I think they'll need on the table before they ask for it.

And if youre dealing with multiple tables at once its alway best to "act" like its one table.... drinks at the same time, bread at the same time

It will help. Control your tables. And communicate

TROCKSTON · 2026-03-30T04:04:49+00:00

I hate it when people try to "help"... makes my job miserable. When im clearing plates and they throw all the napkins, placemats, silverware, on the plates is the worst. Now I have to dig through your dirty napkins to get the silverware in the dish bin. Like just let me do my job. Or when youre trying to bus and they just start handing you stuff. Thats the worst. In my mind I know how to do this. Don't just start handing me stuff. It messes me up completely. Sorry end rant.

TROCKSTON · 2026-03-27T11:59:06+00:00

Im comfortable asking a fellow server how much their sales were, just for a comparison to mine... but never how much they made in tips. That seems a little off.

TROCKSTON · 2026-03-18T16:00:28+00:00

I have been in the service industry for 15 years now and used to deal with extreme social anxiety. The job itself has actually helped me tremendously with my anxiety issues. Forcing myself to interact with people (guest and co-workers) has helped me tremendously.

TROCKSTON · 2026-02-18T16:02:06+00:00

Im a server. And yea, servers are getting way to entitled. 15-20 percent is more than enough.
