459 Server Reviews

"There is always money to be made as a server, but the hours and general demands of the work can become grueling."

"I love interacting with the residents, however I dislike the fact that some people think that we are beneath them because we are willing to work for the money we are getting instead of it just being handed to us."

"I love being a server because I get to talk to all kinds of different people every day. I get to also get to know the regulars that come in, and I find out different stories about people. I get to help people out with what they want for food and drinks, and I love being able to help people in any way I can."

"I love interacting with people and bringing a smile to someone's face. There are challenges within the job that allow for quick decisions keeping my brain and body active. Nourishing the body nourishes the soul. When someone enjoys their meal it makes me feel confident in myself. Believing in one's product creates the ability to increase sales, increase the rate of return guests, and increase the potential tips the server takes home."

"Love meeting new people, ease of adjusting schedule. Love the exercise and hourly average of tips. Hate being paid $2.13 an hour to clean, get no benefits, be daily sexually harassed, constantly treated like a slave."

"I enjoy the type of work I do. I meet hundreds of people and get to learn a little about them and provide a relaxing enjoyable moment of time in a restaurant."

"Working in the food service industry in New York City is exciting because everyday is different. You never know who is going to come through the door. I meet new people everyday from all over the world. The only problem with working as a server is it a totally thankless job. You are not a human being to most of the people you serve and even though you give good service, you are not properly compensated. It's very frustrating."

"I love the freedom I have in customer interaction as a server. I know how to be patient and deal with customers and how to react to dissatisfaction."

"Great money and a great experience to talk/relate with people."

"I love meeting new people everyday. I love the kind people who actually treat me as a person instead of someone there to just takes their order. I do not like those people. No conversation, come in, order, eat, leave."

"People can be great or terrible, lack of paid leave means when you're sick, you don't get paid."

"The pay is not that great, not much moving up opportunities."

"Love the customers. I hate the old-school environment. Nothing we have seems new."

"I loved having fast cash in my hand. I hated the kayos from the job."

"Ability to increase ability to multitask, prioritize, and improve my memory as well as customer service."
