(Fnb) The Awkward Moment when.......

In the Fnb industry, there are one too many things that can go wrong which either makes your life a living hell, or just momentarily awkward. I'll discuss the latter.

Let's begin!
That awkward moment when.....

1. (From a customer's POV)
   You mistake another customer for a waiter and the wait staff catches you doing it. (If I'm one of them, I WILL chuckle and grin. >:D)
2. Your attire looks like the cafe/restaurant waiter's uniform. 
3. Your attire looks like the chef's uniform. (Where DO you shop exactly?!)
4. (From a waiter's POV)
   You follow customers around the seating area like an idiot till they find that "perfect table"
5. Your hands shake so much, the cup and the plate clatters louder than a live symphony and the drink spills.
6. Your hands shake so much the customer has to help you with it.
7. A customer praises a dish that you know was not prepared well. (but you still have to smile and say "thank you" like you mean it)
8. Your kitchen is so out of ingredients you have to reject a customer's order more than 2 times.
9. A customer takes a photo of the ugliest dish/coffee you have ever sent out. (What if that goes on some newspaper?! I'll be known as a failure!!!!! ) 
10. You try to pop a champagne at the customer's table and the champagne spills over like a fountain while the cork flies to Narnia.
11. When you approach a table with their food but at the last minute the parsley decides to dance off into the wind and the customer saw. (You don't eat that right...?)
12. You thank a customer for handing you a tip from his change, but turns out the note was torn and he just wanted to replace it. 
13. A regular customer gets your name wrong. For life. (we're past the period where we can correct you...) 
14. A customer asks you (the manager) for the manager.
    ("You're the manager?!"
      "Yes.") 
15. You're on your way out to the toilet/home, but customers wave to get your attention for service.(Get yer own drink cause I really don't care.)
16. You are a new wait staff who barely knows the menu and customers keep bombarding you with questions you cannot answer. You decided to ask the Chef for help who instead yell at all your questions. (In front of EVERY OTHER STAFF)
17. You are that "every other staff" who has to watch your colleague get yelled at. 
18. You get caught in the middle of customers fighting to pay the bill. (Drop the bill like a hockey puck and run.)
19. You have to start billing people/chasing them out because you need to close the place. (Especially awkward if it's a couple locking lips and all.)
20. You've been through more than half of these.... 

-Based on real life experiences. We are sad, sad people.
