Working as a server is not for the faint of heart. First, servers have to walk—a lot. While the average American takes about 5,000 steps per day, servers take around 23,000. Assuming average stride, that’s over 10 miles in a single day.
Second, as they’re doing all of this walking, they’re taking care of customers. Sometimes, these diners can be difficult. From eaters who don’t leave a tip to guests who are just plain gross, there’s a lot that a customer can do to make a server’s life a nightmare.
