Working as a waiter/waitress (or also commonly referred to as server) allows you to maximize your potential earnings on the traditional weekend (Saturday and Sunday) due to a massive increase in restaurant customers; this is because most people, adults and kids alike, are off from school/work on these days.
Thus it is common practice for a server to work on the days mentioned above.
This results in the common server to get their two days off on days like; Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, or perhaps even taking working Saturday but not Sunday or Monday, really any consecutive pair of the other 5 days (work-days) in the week.
These two days may be referred to as a âwaiter weekendâ by a restaurant server (or perhaps any restaurant employee).
Author Note:
~Iâve worked in a quite a few restaurants in my years, some arcade restaurant place, On The Border, Longhorn Steakhouse, and currently Olive Garden (these are the ones I worked at the longest), Iâve heard this used on maybe 8-9 occasions, so itâs not too common, but I like the phrase.
