• Waitress Julie Last updated by Melissa ann: 04-Aug-2017

  I would like to work during my uni holidays and I’m thinking about working as a waitress.. Some of my friends are trying to discourage me. They say it’s a very tiring job, often with terrible hours, and also that being a girl I’ll definitely end up either getting some abuse or getting sexist attitudes. Does anybody have any experience with this?

    What your friends say is quite true, though it all depends on how you take it. To me, for example, sexist approaches and comments are like water off a ducks back. I know of some colleagues who cannot let it go though. Abuse is something I’ve never been faced with.

      I’ve had some sexist comments at times and also I’ve had clients who thought they could touch my behind while ordering their beer. I hate that and it gets me real furious, but it’s also true that it’s not the norm.
