Of course I've felt that way.*
I've had many types of jobs & many of them were in restaurants.
I never liked being a waiter because I don't like dealing with the public as their servant. I suppose that there are some cool waiter jobs out there, but I've never had one.
& I've rolled silverware aplenty...on my shift, helping out a friend or girlfriend so that they could leave, & when I was catering too.
These days, I deal with the public, but only when they call on the phone asking questions, for a quote, or wanting to place an order & people have a set of "phone manners" that they just don't give a shit about face to face. & these are people that are calling me, & not people that I'm calling.
I did like bartending at parties for a catering company because it was just fun.
Most of my work in kitchens saw me moving up to the head cook & believe me, you think you got stress as a waiter...you have no stress! But I liked cooking too because it was a fun challenge. The thing I never liked about being a cook is that there are always incompetent people in the kitchen helping you & so it forces you to be dominant to establish discipline because the managers were complete slack asses at most of the places I worked. Then there's the converse, where the manager is in your face all the time &
there is always office politics to deal with when it should just be about how you do your job & not who you are friends with & all that.
Disgruntled Youth, think of it as training to temper your ego.
The suffering of work can provide some excellent opportunities to just let go & to meditate.
