A patient one. I did waitressing to fund myself through university and it brought the worst out in me. By the end of it I was definitely not a people person!!

A:
It helps to be constantly cheerful and happy, or at least be good at pretending to be. You will get to put up with all kinds of people being a waitress. You are the liaison between the customer and the cooks. Be very very helpful and very very happy to help.
Being nice never hurts your tips either...

u need to be a naturally cheerful, helpful person, with the patience of a saint !
personally, it's not a job that i would want - i'd end up dumping food on someone for being rude / nasty.
