Walk In Their Shoes
I Worked a Full Restaurant Shift
August 29, 2026
The rush, the heat, the chaos — I had no idea.
What I Expected
I expected it to be busy but manageable.
The Experience
It was a nonstop sprint I couldn't keep up with.
The Struggle
I fell behind in the first hour and never caught up.
What Humbled Me
Service workers run on a level of stamina I never appreciated.
