Waiting tables is a tough job that nobody is ever really prepared for. Customers give shitty tips, sometimes you forget their order, or just getting horrible customers overall. Whatever happens at a restaurant it is something more than a smoke break and a cry in the storage closet can fix - waitstaff need a healthy dose of humor.
担当餐厅服务员可是一项艰苦卓绝的工作，谁都不敢说自己能对这个工作应付自如。挫折总是层出不穷，例如，一毛不拔的食客付出少得可怜的小费，或者食客应该你忘记了他们下的菜单而大发脾气，还有其他种种令人难以应付的顾客。在餐厅里经历的酸甜苦辣太过沉重，不是一个人静一静、抽根烟，或者在储藏室里大叫一通就能缓解的——一个服务员需要一点幽默感，才能保持身心健康。

The list below are some of the hilarious ways in which restaurant workers deal with the chaos that is all just part of the job. From taking a silly joke a customer said quite literally to funny messages on receipts, these people know that humor is the only way to keep your sanity on the job. So scroll down and don't forget to upvote your favs as a tip!
处理与食客的纠纷，这是服务员每日工作的一部分。下面一组图片中的服务员却能以幽默的调侃解决这些纠纷。被食客蠢蠢的玩笑撩到时，他们能机智的反撩回去，他们还会在订单上留下搞笑的段子。这些服务员知道，在这个行业中，幽默是维持自己理智的唯一办法。往下翻翻，看一看。别忘了为你最喜欢的图片投上一票，付出你的“小费”哟！
