16 Things Your Server Doesn't Want To Tell You

All servers have a love-hate relationship with their jobs — it's like an unwritten rule. On the one hand, the people are fun, the environment is fast-paced, the job is eventful and the money, depending on where you work, can be really good.

And if you bother to read on, you'll realize the struggle is real.
