In the weeds

In the service/restaurant industry, when you are behind on serving your tables, you are in the weeds or, less often used, weeded. It happens most often during high volume when the host stand forgets about proper rotation and seats three or more tables in your section at the same time, known as getting triple sat.

Hey, can you bring five waters, a Coke, three lemonades and an iced coffee to 213 for me? I still have to put in 212's appetizer order and 214 needs their salad and bar drinks.

Yeah, I got you. I can tell you're in the weeds. Can't believe they triple sat you again.
