概要

Welcome to the wild world of the service industry! Where the ice machine is always broken, the walk-in fridge is therapy, and someone will ask for their fifth refill of Diet Pepsi.


Join your host, a battle-tested server with years of unforgettable shifts, for weekly 15-minute episodes featuring the wildest, weirdest, and most wonderful tales from restaurant life. From guests who were supposed to meet each other but waited at opposite ends of the restaurant… to the table that tried to tip with a “rare” two-dollar bill… every episode proves that you can’t make this stuff up.


But here’s the twist:


We keep it funny—not mean.


When someone sends back their mashed potatoes for looking “too fluffy,” you don’t have to be rude. The story tells itself.


Whether you're a restaurant veteran, a retail survivor, a diner who wonders what really happens behind those kitchen doors, or just someone who loves a good story, pull up a chair.


New episodes drop weekly. No substitutions, please.


Perfect for: Restaurant workers, food-service survivors, anyone who’s ever wondered why their server is laughing in the kitchen, and people who know customer service is basically extreme sports with aprons.


Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, sudden respect for service workers, and the urge to tip your server extra.

Scott shares the funniest, wildest, and most unforgettable moments his servers experienced while working the floor.

    We'll cover:

    • What it's really like serving tables at a live comedy show

    Episode 9: Going Once, Going Twice, SOLD! - Auction Adventures & Fabric Finds with Etsy Reseller Kira Hartley Klinger
    2026/02/09

    If you think the restaurant industry has wild characters, wait until you hear what goes down at auctions.

    In this episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Kira, a vintage fabric reseller on Etsy who has seen it ALL.

    From smooth talking auctioneers to the eccentric personalities who show up ready to fight for a deal, Kira's stories will have you laughing, gasping, and wondering why there isn't a reality show about this world already.

    Kira runs DodOddity on Etsy, where she hunts down and resells incredible vintage fabrics, and she's turned her wildest experiences into not one but TWO books. If you love a good story about hustle, chaos, and the thrill of the find, this conversation is for you.

    We'll cover:

    • The colorful characters Kira encounters at auctions (and why they rival any restaurant regular)
    • What it's really like building a reselling business from the ground up
    • The insane things people will do to score a deal
    • How Kira turned her auction adventures into two published books
    • The crossover between service industry grit and reseller hustle

    Whether you're a server who dreams of a side hustle, a thrift lover, or just someone who appreciates a great story, this episode is a blast.

  • Episode 8: My Feet Hurt! - The Foundation of Service - Why Your Feet Matter More Than You Think

    Episode 8: My Feet Hurt! - The Foundation of Service - Why Your Feet Matter More Than You Think
    2026/01/13

    Ask any server what hurts most after a double shift, sometimes it's their heads from the craziness of the day but generally it's their feet!

    Your feet are the unsung heroes of the service industry - carrying you through endless hours of standing, pivoting, rushing, and somehow still smiling through the pain.

    In this episode, I'm talking about the body part that literally keeps us going: our feet. From finding the right footwear that actually holds up to 12-hour shifts, to that one kind table who took one look at me limping and immediately offered sympathy, to the surprising ways restaurant layout and your own body mechanics can make or break your foot health.

    We'll cover:

    • The shoe brand that this server swears by
    • How restaurant flow can make or break your feet
    • That magical moment when a customer actually notices you're human and hurting
    • The small adjustments that made a huge difference in my daily pain levels

    If you've ever hobbled to your car after a shift wondering if your feet will ever recover, this episode is for you. Because taking care of your feet isn't vanity - it's survival.

    Perfect for servers and hospitality workers dealing with chronic foot pain, anyone who works on their feet all day, restaurant managers looking to improve employee wellness, and people curious about the physical toll of service work.
