How to get over the shame
This time of year it hits extra hard for some reason, but how do you rationalize the shame/ stigma that comes with being a server? Every year as I get older it seems worse at Thanksgiving when family passes judgement (passive aggressive) that I am STILL serving in my late 20’s. The worst is when they ask when I plan to get a ‘real’ job, like this isn’t one… I wish people had more respect instead of looking at this like a job for teens or those down on their luck. 809
