Toughen up, buttercup. Restaurant servers have stressful, often physically taxing jobs. You can't expect them to tiptoe around the infamously fragile feelings of miserable old fools.

Bless your heart, I'm talking about how words are interpreted differently. It is called understanding the nuances of communication. If a server needs to be good at their job, they need to understand communication and the various nuances, honey. Their job is to serve and communicate with customers and communication skills are a core part of their job.

Yes, they should tiptoe around words that routinely get misinterpreted. "Working hard" is not an excuse for incompetence and a refusal to use your brain.

And honey, if you think the job of a server in a restaurant is stressful and physically taxing, wait until you see how hard people work in the kitchen. Or even in most other jobs.
