Got ahead and google then. Waiting tables is on many lists ranked as one of the most stressful jobs, up there with being an air traffic controller. Though I will say I'd agree that over the past few years, jobs in general have become more stressful and more jobs are resembling waiting tables now in terms of utter insanity and powerlessness/lack of control of variables you are vulnerable to. It's become so crazy that any day I walk into a job now I expect to be my last working at that job - that doesn't mean that I don't work my butt off - that means that I expect nothing from a job/employer any more, have no loyalty whatsoever, and handle my cash flow accordingly.

Ya, I'd never understand anything about stress, as I have a nice relaxing job running into burning buildings.
You have a lot of waiters dropping from cardiac arrest while bringing out the cheese plate do you? Need medical exams every 40 minutes during your shift to make sure the flash on your uniform isn't causing issues?
Odd though, the lists of stressful occupations I usually come across have firefighters, police, enlisted military, air traffic controllers, emergency dispatchers, surgeons, and people like that on the top of the list, and seem to omit waiters.
