9. Working on a three-day weekend when all the normals are out of town.

10. The moment you realize the Department of Health just walked in.

And it’s Saturday night. Shouldn’t they take weekends off?

11. When you have to entertain your co-worker’s annoying friends.

12. When people reach over the bar and grab garnishes from your tray.

That’s nasty.

13. When you finally have a chance to run to the bathroom.
