lyrics

Line out the door, tickets to the floor
Customers upset, guess they expected more
Store understaffed, labor cut in half
Stupid rednecks with their wings and drafts
I'm back in the kitchen trying to remake a hot dog
Grease splashes up, the whole line is in a hot fog
There's a pissed off lady on line one
We ran out of all the food that she wants to dine on
She wants me to realize exactly how she feels
Meanwhile I got sandwiches burning on the grill
Guess it's my fault that we lost a sale
Trying to stay calm in this burning hell
Food service industry

Shout out to the waiter that catered to the hater
We close at eight o'clock and he left an hour later
And he didn't even leave a tip
Just left a shitty sexist comment on the credit card slip
Wouldn't wear a mask because he said he didn't have to
Then went and dropped a deuce in the men's bathroom
And he didn't even flush, please hush
We'll clean it all up if we must
Food service industry

And all the cooks are burned out zombies
Slapping together burgers and microwaved entrees
At night all these hungry faces haunt me
PTSD from getting cussed out by an auntie
Kids meals are big deals apparently
All these strapped parents keep grabbing at me
The hatred in their eyes forever haunt my dreams
I'm sorry there's an upcharge for sour cream
Food service industry

I'm sorry the service isn't what it should be
I'm sorry that your waiter is a drug addled teen
Her name is Karen, she's a little overbearing
Uptight from the white moo moo that she's wearing
She's verbally tearing me a new one
Because she wanted her cheeseburger on a brand new bun
Without any tomatoes and extra mayo
And seasoning on the burger with a brand new flavor
And that constitutes her awful behaviour
I'm gonna comp her food because the server needs a savior
Food service industry

Want a lesson in sociology?
Want to live life in a constant apology?
Here's an application, are you cooking or waiting?
Put on this apron, there's no time for debating
There's a ten top, and at the head of the table is Satan
He's gonna go online and give us a low rating
Food service industry
