text: why are most waitresses difficult to work with? i love being a waitress, however, finding the right place to work is a real challenge. i'm confused...i keep my mouth shut, arrive on time, help other waitresses, clean, take care of customers...and i can't get along with most of the women that i work with. they get angry if i help them in any way, such as running coffee all over the entire restaurant - as opposed to filling my own section and no other. another waitress called me an ''impatient/hyper little bitch'' and a customer told me about it. i was totally embarassed. after approaching the boss about it, i felt even worse. everytime i turn around i'm getting yelled at by someone, and i can't understand it. i love the work i do, but despise the environment that goes along with it. i used to be a server and sometimes i think you are working with a bunch of angry people that hate their job and are only there cause they feel the have to be and have no drive to do anything else.  being a server is a hard job, but it can also be a fun job that some people make a lot of money at if they are in the right location (upscale casual to upscale... no chains).  my advice to you is to make sure that your customers are happy and take care of the needs in your section and help out when you can.  and of course, make sure that you keep your managers happy.  screw those bad temper chicks.    if they are always constantly in the weeds and don't know how to consolidate to take care of their tables than they need to ask for smaller sections.  be sure... not sacrifice the level of service that you give to your customers to help them if they don't appreciate it.  this hurts your tips.   by the way, you may be too nice.  they may be walking over you because they feel they can.  and if you help them, make sure they help you.  also, when you are giving your tables good service, their guest will notice and those people will start to ask for you cause they always see you taking care of your guest.  as far as they one that call you a name, she is just insecure and was probably out of meds that day.  now go earn that 20% tip.  :)
