Servers Are People Too!

Being a server can sometimes be a hard job. There are many things that go into it besides just giving you food, drinks, and a check. Servers are people that deserve respect, no matter what how they act or speak to you.

Every time I’m at a restaurant, there’s always one person that’s a rude customer somewhere in the restaurant that’s treating their servers with total disrespect all because of some outrageous thought like “you didn’t bring me the right drink when someone at my table had that drink.” But then there are customers like my friend and I that went to a restaurant and were ignored except for when we ordered paid for our meal. Even so, we didn’t say anything to our waiter rudely even though we saw him sitting and talking to other customers and co workers while seeing us sitting there waiting for our drinks.

While some servers aren’t polite and don’t consider the customer at all, there are also servers that truly care about their customers, but sometimes get overwhelmed in busy times when they have about ten tables to watch over, and so, sometimes they make mistakes. Or there might even be the ones that are trying to support their family with what they make in tips because that was the only job they could find whether they are good at what they do or not.

No matter what, servers deserve respect. No matter how they behave, they’re people too and they don’t deserve to be treated rudely. My sister was a waitress before and used to tell me stories about what happened; and because Jesus said in the Bible “do to others what you would have them do to you”; I know that I’d want to be treated kindly, so I am kind.
