Servers and waiters work long, hard shifts and it’s inevitable that they’re bound to make some mistakes, but some of these fails are so bad that they’re actually laughable.
Even the waiters themselves can laugh about all of the mistakes that happened at work, and most of them shared these pictures of the worst fails that occurred while they were at work.
From dropping fully organized boxes of silverware to misspelling orders on the check into curse words, FEMAIL reveals all of the most hilarious accidents that happened to servers at work.
Messy: A waitress dropped her entire tray of food which was covered in dressings and condiments all over her fully black uniform and was just defeated
Soggy bills: Another waitress dropped her tray with her money and drinks on it so when the tray fell, all of her money got drenched and the coins scattered everywhere
Uh oh: After fully organizing and washing tons of silverware, one server tripped and dropped the entire bin of tools and it’s so horrible to see, we feel terrible
Something’s missing: Posing with a beautiful dish she created for her customer, this waitress didn’t seem to notice that she completely spelled ‘birthday’ wrong and even left out the ‘th’
Excuse me: One waitress got a little frisky with her customers when it came to the check and she tacked on the word ‘sluts’ to the bill
Splattered: Is there anything worse than dropping an entire tub of ketchup on the floor and having it splatter everywhere, only to have to clean it up
My bad: This waitress dropped an entire salad plate all over the floor but took it in stride as she laughed it off and posed for the cameras while her coworker ate the leftovers
Order up: A customer asked for chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream on top and the server threw the dish on the table, leaving the whipped cream hanging off the table
Closing time: The feeling when it’s the end of the day and you’re about to leave for work and you rush to get those lost few things over with only to screw up is a horrible feeling
Chicken scratch: A waiter brought this order he wrote down to the chef and expected him to understand his illegible marks as handwriting
Hazard: This server obviously needs to be kept away from any sharp objects as he ripped his finger to shreds while working a shift
Organizing: While stocking the back of the restaurant, this server just didn’t seem to get it together while all of the styrofoam cups kept falling all over the place
Follow the trail: One server dropped a box of sugar in the kitchen but didn’t realize that he was leaving a long trail of it all the way from the back, through the restaurant, to his table
Sweet potatoes anyone? While cooking a big batch of potatoes in the kitchen, a server knocked over a full tin of illy sugar packets into the boiling water, making a sweet treat
Dominos: Just when everything seemed organized and ready to go, one of the three bins holding ice toppled over and the ice scattered all over the floor
Caught red-handed: One server was caught smoking weed in the parking lot by people who he ended up waiting on and although they said he was nice, they said he could barely function
That’s not right: Someone really needs to refresh their vocabulary as one server spelt squash, as ‘sqwash’ and even put it in bold red with exclamation points
Long day: This waitress had a long day and while cleaning dishes, she slipped on water and fell on top of a pile of crates, dropping all of the dishes she was washing
Wow: This is absolutely crazy as one waitress divided one salad by 20 people instead of just adding one salad to the menu, she added it ten times
What’s that? This server didn’t double check the sweet little dessert plate delivered to their customer without an ‘h’ in birthday
Barista: This girl sarcastically mocked a customer who got mad at her for screwing up a coffee order and said she’s never coming back to the coffee shop again
Oops: One her way back to the kitchen, this waitress knocked over one of the decorative planters in the restaurant and the porcelain vase shattered in pieces everywhere
Hold the eggs: We’re not really sure what this order was by the time it reached the customer’s table as there was only poached eggs, but with no eggs
Mop it up: A server dropped a full bucket of ice which got all over the kitchen floor tiles and that probably took a long time to mop up
Whoa: Red Lobster probably had to fire this waiter who hated his customers so much he said he wanted to end their life in a bizarre message
Huh? One customer was completely baffled when they got their check back only to find it had a very unusual order on it and we’re not really sure what was supposed to be
