1 Being a waitress is an often underrated job. 2 A waitress needs the tact of a diplomat, she must be as organized as a business executive, and the ability of an acrobat. 3 Serving as the link between customers and kitchen, the most demanding diners must be satisfied, and the often temperamental kitchen help must be kept tamed. 4 Both groups tend to blame the waitress whenever anything goes wrong. 5 Somehow, she is held responsible by the customer for any delay (even if it’s the kitchens fault), for an overcooked steak, or for an unavailable dessert. 6 While the kitchen automatically blames her for the diners who change their orders or return those burned steaks. 7 In addition she must simultaneously keep straight who ordered what at each table, who is yelling for the check, and whether the new arrivals want cocktails or not. 8 She must be sure empty tables are cleared, everyone has refills of coffee, and no one is scowling because a request for more rolls are going unheard. 9 Finally, the waitress must travel a hazardous route between the busy kitchen and the crowded dining room, she has to dodge a diners leg in the aisle or a swinging kitchen door. 10 And you must do this while balancing a tray heaped with steaming platters. 11 The hardest task of the waitress, though, is trying to maintain a decent imitation of a smile on her face—most of the time.
