One-armed waiter in a wheelchair

A term used to describe slow service in a restaurant or bar

Guest 1: I ordered my food 45 mins ago- how long does it take to make a BLT?
Guest 2: I swear a one-armed waiter in a wheelchair would be faster than this
Guest 1: For sure. Once we get our food let’s dine and ditch

Waiter Weekend

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 “waiter weekend” by a restaurant server (or perhaps any restaurant employee).

Author Note:
~I’ve 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), I’ve heard this used on maybe 8-9 occasions, so it’s not too common, but I like the phrase.

Server 1:
“Hello?”

Server 2:
“What’s up?“

Server 1:
“You coming in to work later?”

Server 2:
“Nah man I’m off today, I’m actually off tomorrow too; it’s my Waiter Weekend.
