(He apparently had plans to see a movie.) And, unfortunately, I encounter these individuals all too often while working as a server. While it seems simplistic on the service, (that's actually why I applied for the job.) it's actually quite a demanding and draining line of work.

However, for all of its drawbacks, overall, I've found the job to be incredibly rewarding. For every unreasonable customer, there are at least five others who definitely make the job worthwhile. I have now spent over a year serving at Village Inn and Applebees, and I plan to work at the latter throughout my time at the University of Kansas.

Moneywise, I cannot complain either, I make more in a day at Applebees than I did over an entire week at Little Caesars. (Now that job was truly horrendous.)

For the most part, yes. But some can and do bar kids. Somebody posted one of those on here a while back, can't remember the name of the place now.

I'd definitely be a patron of such an establishment

I also tip attractive females less.
