Bitter Waitress
Welcome to the wild world of the service industry! Where the ice machine is always broken, the walk-in fridge is therapy, and someone will ask for their fifth refill of Diet Pepsi.
Join your host, a battle-tested server with years of unforgettable shifts, for weekly 15-minute episodes featuring the wildest, weirdest, and most wonderful tales from restaurant life. From guests who were supposed to meet each other but waited at opposite ends of the restaurant… to the table that tried to tip with a “rare” two-dollar bill… every episode proves that you can’t make this stuff up.
But here’s the twist:
We keep it funny—not mean.
When someone sends back their mashed potatoes for looking “too fluffy,” you don’t have to be rude. The story tells itself.
Whether you're a restaurant veteran, a retail survivor, a diner who wonders what really happens behind those kitchen doors, or just someone who loves a good story, pull up a chair.
New episodes drop weekly. No substitutions, please.
Perfect for: Restaurant workers, food-service survivors, anyone who’s ever wondered why their server is laughing in the kitchen, and people who know customer service is basically extreme sports with aprons.
Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, sudden respect for service workers, and the urge to tip your server extra.
