You Might Be Waitstaff If...

You know Jeff Foxworthy's spiel, right? You might be a redneck if ___

Well, as someone who's now been in the industry about two years and after reading other fun waitstaff blogs, I thought of how veteran waitstaff all end up developing certain habits. Heck, just today as I walked out of my house to run errands, I thought of how working at the bar influences what I put in which pocket (keys & chapstick in left pocket, any coinage I have in the right).

As a result, I've decided to introduce a new blog feature - a weekly "You Might be Waitstaff if..." Anyone with suggestions for "If"s, please let me know. This week: You might be waitstaff if you look forward to the end of your shift because it means you can finally stop smiling.
