Your Favourite Whitney Memories: 'Singing At The Back Of The Bus'
Jamie Lee Curtis: Blame It On The Fame Game?
Whether you've been a summer hire or a lifer, you know it ain't easy. This LifeSpy features three very unconventional food pros who aren't afraid to let you know what's really going through their heads when you order a turkey sandwich (hold the turkey) or a basket of wings to go with your lap dance.The Hooters Girl: Contrary to popular belief, there is a real person under the tiny orange shorts. And this one happens to be a hilarious sex-positive feminist. The Hooters Girl, aka K.H., talks about everything from women's rights to birth control in her bare-all blog. Sure, she complains about the job -- and the often insufferable clientele -- but she also kinda digs the uniform.
Waitress Stories: The anonymous lifer behind Waitress Stories has a cleaver-sharp wit -- ask her for a third cup of coffee, and instead of politely obliging, she'll ask you if you wouldn't just like an IV instead so she can do her damn job. Ask her for cheese, sour cream and bacon on your potato? That's a judgin'. This is one server who shatters the idea that you have be hospitable to work in hospitality.
Naked Women and Beer: Before Jennifer was a wife and mother, she was a server. At a strip club. (And children were just an "if.") Talk about drama. You have to go back a ways to find the good stuff (Jennifer stopped posting strip club stories in May 2007, much to our chagrin), but once you get there it's more than worth it. We're talking about a-stripper-got-fired-for-handing-out-prostitute-business-cards-at-work worth it. You know you're curious ...

Tell us: Now it's your turn -- feel free to rant about the awful server who has yet to master the art of taking drink orders.

I don't want to rant, I want to compliment a waitress who served us at a restaurant which no longer exists; Little Ricky's in Cosby (Gatlinburg), Tennessee. Susan was always very attentive to our needs when we visited Little Ricky's in Gatlinburg. She always served with a smile, kept our coffee cups full, and remembered from one visit to the next that we liked hot sauce. It broke my heart on our last visit to Gatlinburg to find that Little Ricky's had closed down. SUSAN, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE, PLEASE EMAIL US AND LET US KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING AND WHY THE RESTAURANT CLOSED!!! We're Shane and Melanie, the couple from Indiana with the son and two daughters. I almost gave Susan a hug the last time we were there, and now I wish I had.

My daughter is a server and I am amazed at the tackiness of some of her customers. One group ordered their meal to go so they felt that they wouldn't have to leave a tip and then proceeded to eat their meal in their to-go boxes at the table. But one of her biggest complaints is from people who get a special from the paper or on-line to buy one meal and get one free and then only tip on the one meal that they pay for ...and only tip 10%. For those of you who don't know...the proper thing is to tip on the cost of both meals. You received both of them didn't you?
