Best Answer:
I've never been a waitress, but my best friend is, and trust me, it is anything but easy dealing with irrate, self-centered customers, as well as everything it takes to keep a restraunt going.
A:
I couldn't do waitressing...
but they clear tables. take orders, serve food. listen to complaining customers, roll silverware, fill salt and pepper, kethup....I am not sure what else they do....stand on their feet all day...
I always tip high because I would never be able to do the job they do....To all the servers out there...Thank You

Theres alot of knowledge u have to pick up quickly depending on how good the restaurant is.
And you have to be good at balancing multiple tasks.
You'll be suprised how many people are completely useless at it.

I'm a server. there are a lot of servers who are going to college where i work. first, are you a good multi-task oriented person? second, are you a people person? and third, can you take criticism? if you can answer yes to all 3 you can be a server. we deal with a lot of things during a shift:
nasty/needy customers
bad tempered/drugged out cooks
power tripping/inefficient management
running out of certain food/drinks halfway through shift
people that don't tip no matter how much you do for them
slow/ lazy busboys
there are too many things to list, but if you work well under pressure and can handle extreme chaos you too can be a server!
