All hail to the servers. Today is May 21st and it's National Waitstaff Day. I never even knew that this day existed, but now that I do, it's the most important day of my entire year. Other than my birthday. And Halloween. Okay, so it's the third most important day of the year. No, wait, Halloween is third, National Waitstaff Day is second. Oh shit, I forgot about Cinco de Mayo. Okay: my birthday, Cinco de Mayo, National Waitstaff Day and then Halloween. Anyhoo, someone somewhere determined that May 21st is the day that we show our gratitude to the person who has to take orders and carry food for a living. If you are a server, wear your apron with pride today. And do not be hesitant to mention to every single table that today is your day. It will only increase your tips. On National Secretary's Day, they all get flowers and taken to lunch. On our day, we also deserve a few things:
- 40% tip
- attitude free customers
- free shift meal
- free shift drink
- no separate checks
- free shift drink
- no orders for hot tea
- free shift drink
- no extra lemons
- no crying babies who throw Cheerios in our stations. In fact, no babies allowed in the whole fucking restaurant.
- no bitches
- no sidework
- we deserve respect! At least for today.
Happy National Waitstaff Day, y'all. We rock! Share this post with everyone you know, okay? More people need to know about this special day. May 21st. (Bewtween Cinco de Mayo, National Waitstaff Day and my birthday, May is the coolest fucking month of the year.)

Additonally [cause I like your list so much] allow me to add:
1. One ramekin of ranch. ONE.
2. One basket of free bread. ONE.
3. No "allergies" [I don't mind true allergies, but lady no one is allergic to spicy food - it just upsets your tummy. One word: TUMS]
4. This holiday needs to be rescheduled in two years because it will fall on a Sunday - but may I add - No church people with fake "twenties" that are trying to save my soul.
5. Lunch ladies who actually tip.
6. And don't run my heiny off - ask for your ketchup, napkins and third soda at once.
7. Come to think of it - NO REFILLS.
