"I'm a waiter and this is what we can't stand from customers in our bar"

The profession of hospitality gives a lot to talk about on social networks, and it is common for content to go viral that denounces the bad behavior of some clients or the applauded responses to disrespectful or objective reviews.

These types of publications serve a double purpose. On the one hand, there is the entertainment factor inherent to social networks. But it is also true that they serve to make users aware of certain practices that should be banned, such as joking to get the attention of waiters.

All of this, as a general rule, from a satirical and humorous point of view. Abraham Galera Cano is an expert in this field, who under the alias @abrigaca has more than 240 thousand followers on Instagram and more than 750 on TikTok, who do not want to miss any of his publications. In his profile, he himself states that he gives voice to what the waiters think.

Abraham has joined one of the new viral trends on Instagram and TikTok – that is, types of videos that become fashionable and several users recreate – which consists of starting the phrase with “I am (followed by an attribute such as nationality or profession)” and then introduce some comment that ironizes the idiosyncrasy of the topic.

Thus, Abraham has revealed many of the waiters' thoughts and routines, as well as certain customer behaviors that he does not like. “We are waiters and even if you ask us for a coffee with drops, I'm going to charge you like hell,” his video begins.

The scene continues with “we are waiters and, of course, when a customer tells us the only thing they are going to get from me is a bad look.” Another point in his intervention appeals to tips: “We are waiters and although you are not obliged to tip us, when you do you make us super happy.”

“We are waiters and the word ‘tempered’ is not in our dictionary,” he jokes. He also points out that, when waiters decide to stop for their coffee, it usually coincides with the arrival of a customer. Abraham concludes by interpreting that, while serving a table, the waiters take the opportunity to listen to the diner's conversation.

In addition to garnering 'likes', the publication has become a discussion forum in the comments section, where other waiters and customers share anecdotes and opinions related to the video.
