ive waitressed my last 2 years of high school. today is my first day as a waitress in 8 months. im nervous but im pretty sure my old skills will come out to show.

I am a new server. I'm about 3 weeks in and I am overwhelmed with all of what you mentioned in the video. Everything you said is so true to how I am feeling and thinking. I have made mistakes along the way with getting orders wrong, or plugging in orders incorrectly in the system but the ones that have troubled me most is I've forgotten tables. I love the people, I aim to give great service each and everytime and so when that happens, I am left feeling deflated. Thank you for these videos. I know that I will one day become the Professional Server I see in my minds eye. Best wishes to all the beginners out there, I feel you! We can do this! :)

thank u so much!

thank you

me and overachiever ass learning for a minimum wage job😭😭

I start next month! I signed up for the hostess position but sounds like I'm gonna be a server

Hlo man where are you from

HuGE piece of advice I have is wear non slip shoes! You will fall on your ass lol

And I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO BE ON TV

Did anyone see the people wearing orange and red on tv?? Why wear orange if you are already on TV???

And No Raj the killer and Nik are not going to be on TV. Get the bugs out!

And get this! Enjoying your house with cockroaches and rats , killing them when you feel like it etc seem to be the “hunger games” kind of shit people play when they want to be on TV. Hmmm! The next door bimbo isn’t training to be just a waitress. She is a gwen stefani wannabe who is trying to be on tv and is infesting the neighborhood because of that. Awwww! How cute(sarcasm)

Chicken Shit Raj , who I think has part in cockroach adventures, s exhibiting the same behavior he did during Sandy Nuisance Bean days. He asks me to grow up and deal with cockroaches and enjoy with them as reality. He also thinks I need Hypnotherapy instead of the dealing with root cause of the problem.

Heyyy! Looks like the waitress’ cockroaches didn’t find their way yet into my house today. Keeping my feet up! Meanwhile can I put snakes in someone’s house and call it reality???

I fell in love with you. You are charming.

Good solid advice

Thank you for the help…and the confidence you have in people 👍

Worst part is other employees getting mad that they have to help you on your first week

that American/australian accent is wild

This helps me know that it isnt just me! Everyone feels dumb when they first start and theyre gonna fuck up.

I just srted my firdt ever job as a server at a popular huddle house restaurant 😭 im rwally nervous and i struggle with memorizing things and the menu is confusing and massive😢 im trying my best tho, anyone have any tips on how to memorize It?

I don’t hunderstand very well the prononciation of natives English when the are asking some drinks because like I came in the French speaking country, that’s my frat challenge thanks

just wait til she goes titan RAH

Today was my first day as a server, I had my training but today I was on my one (still had help) but figure things out by myself. It was horrible, I wasn't ready for that, but over all it was okay, it's just the beginning and I'm still learning, so don't be hard on yourself if you have a hard day as a server, just see mistakes as learning and growing.

I made copies of the menu. cut it out into smaller chunks. put them all on to one cheat sheet that I could make more copies of. turned them into skinny sheets that fit into my serving book.

this was very helpful the kind of things i needed to hear and different from all the other videos!

how do we stay nice and smile to customers .if he is a bad and annoying customer , and they are not polite

When she said “ I believe you can “ almost made my cryyyy. It’s scaryyy but my third day and I did great the past two! :’)

I started server training last sunday, i start serving on my own monday...super naervous aince ive only had 3 days of training so far 😢😮 bur ready for the challenge 🎉❤

I have an interview as a Dietary aide at the nursing home and I am super excited for this new job

Amazong how manu ppl in rhe comments are working their first server job. I have been trying to get a server job for months. Its not rhe resume or cover letter and i have some experience. Starting to think it's a age thing at 40🙄

Thankyou for this video❤ I really love your positive and light energy. It makes me feel comfortable and at ease moving forward

Assuming waiters have cars to sit inside and reflect on the previous shift is a long shot lmao

graat video thank you !

I started at a restaurant where we don't write pen and paper, we input orders on small handheld devices. The number of tiny buttons drives me crazy! It forces me to look down away from the customer and search for what they're asking for, splitting my attention and making me look less confident.

My first job as a server is at a very high class place with numerous amounts of wines, beer, and cocktails that need to be memorized on top of the menu items. Our system requires us to put the order straight into a handheld device which leaves me looking like a fool, and I had two days of shadowing someone who didn’t seem interested in training me, and kept all of the tips at the end of the nights. So far serving seems very cutthroat. My coworkers seem greedy, and unwilling to help. When I ask for help, they ask if I would just like them to take the table. So I guess the most daunting task of coming into a new server position is surviving my coworkers - and training myself to memorize hundreds of available drink options between cocktails, beer, a full coffee bar, and over 50 wines. If you have been serving for awhile, please have some empathy towards new servers. I have an extremely good work ethic, and it sucks to see experienced servers disappear and go look at their phone when they see my head spinning. I will succeed. I refuse to fail. One day I will be there for the next person who finds themselves in my position.

Not being slow and remembering orders

Im starting next week and im so nervous 😃

Thank you

8:30 so my job as a server is to make them fat because I'm taking advantage of their emotions 9:11 9:14 9:16 9:16 9:17 9:19

I think quite a lot of it has to do with the individual customer. I've had customers say that I was awesome and amazing and others who left me no tip at all because they simply left. (I work at a hotel, so they get charged to the room for the food, but if they leave, we don't get a tip). It's the inconsistency that's hard. I work very hard and some people will notice that and appreciate it and give me good tips while others try to "save money" by not tipping. It's difficult to understand since I would always leave a tip, even if the service is bad.

Tomorrow I’m starting 😅 and I’m getting nervous

Thank you for this video! As a server, its always important to improve one's craft, and this video was helpful for mine.

I appreciate your little pep talk at the end!

Tomorrow us my day one as a Waitress...i hope i make it 💪

Gonna start my new career as serve in few hours🥹 and this helped video calm me better
