How to be a waitress
It made me
tolerant 
"I met new people, learned how to work under pressure, learned how to work with others, and learned how to deal with people who are angry at life and the world."
How I did it: I just walked into the local restaurant during the typical interview hours (usually Mon.-Thurs. 1-4 p.m.). I filled out an application, interviewed with the FOH manager, then went to orientation the next day. Loading up plates was a little difficult to learn, but other servers helped me find a good balance.
Lessons & tips: When getting "slammed" or "multiple-sat", treat all the tables as if they were one big table. Take the orders and re-fill drinks at the same time. And don't be afraid to ask for help. Keep a well stocked "bank", never short change the guest, don't take the customers with nasty attitudes personally, and pre-bussing makes clean up much much easier.
