My name is Pam and I'm what you would call a "Professional Waitress". I've been in the food industry for 25 years and boy do I have some vents!!

Waitressing While You Are Sick Sucks





Why do I try to work when I'm sick...oh that's right I have no sick pay and I live off my tips.  Someday people someday!

What happen was I got up Sunday morning with my left side of my face all swollen but no pain so I'm good to go to work.  I put my ponytail on the side- no one will even notice, right?  I live in a crazy world I know.

Get to work and then my eye starts swelling up too~ wonderful now I can't really see out of my left eye.  I still try to work because one girl already went home- not sure why because she looked fine but hey it's always something (input sarcasim tone).

Luckily I had a small section but every time I walked up to a table I was thinking do they see my left side and are they staring.  I don't think anyone noticed because I turned on all my waitress awesomeness and rocked it at every table.  It was hard though!

After 3 hours of my face and eye bothering me I was able to go home- thanks to my boss coming in.

My thing is I want to give the best service I can and when I'm sick I can't do that- so that SUCKS!
