The Servers are going to Kill Me

Here's the deal. I realize that I have higher expectations when you come here to be a server than if you just show up at someone's house and drop off some food. I get it, why can't you? I know I list a lot of things, but here are some of my greatest server pet peeves. Let's face it, at 6:00 am, I have a really short fuse and highly suggest you refrain from any of these...
1. Having your boyfriend stop by to see where you work. He doesn't care and I don't want to meet him.
2. Telling me everything is fine, when I can clearly see with my two eyes that a disaster is unfolding.
3. You looking like you got up at 4:30 am. I know you did, but let's comb our hair and pretend we have some common sense.
4. You forgetting that I'm your client. I don't expect you to bow at my feet, but just the least bit of respect would go a long way.
5. It's early, we get it, but you are on the clock - it would be great if you could leave the kitchen with all of the items we need.
6. Here is just a quick reminder that you represent the company you work for and I don't buy the fact that you can't do anything to make sure my order is correct.
7. Don't argue with me. I am always right - remember that phrase? Let's repeat it together just for fun..."the customer is always right"
8. If I wanted to pay people to stand around and ignore me, I would have children and raise them to be teenagers and then pay them.
9. When I say get off the clock, it's because I have determined that there is no more work for you today. Leave.
10. Telling me that you are going to do what you want and not what I am asking is a sure way that you will never work in this building again. Oh, and telling my coworker that I'm rude is only putting a nail in your coffin.
