1. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means I'm invisible...until something goes wrong, and then it's the busser's fault.
2. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means I can be lazy and slow, and it will look like I'm doing my job as well as I can.
3. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means I only have a grade school level education (wouldn't that be interesting...)
4. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means that I overhear conversations about everything imaginable. From nerds discussing achievements in video games to gossip about the mistakes that others have had.
5. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means that I do a lot of work and receive very little credit (I'm like one of the elves who visit the cobbler's shop when he's sleeping. It may be a thankless job, but I am a vital cog in the machine)
6. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means that I get to see a completely different version of servers. They pretend to be happy and nice to get tips, but most (not all) of them are dim-witted, fussy nincompoops, who have to be coddled. (Is this a jaded view? Yes. Are there good servers? Yes, but they are the minority)
7. Being a busser at a large chain restaurant means that I don't ever want to use linen napkins at another restaurant again...or the silverware....or even the table.
Yep, seven is a good number to end on.
Happy Tuesday!
