[quote=Anonymous]Waiting tables is one of the hardest thing to do.  The skill is in anticipating what your table needs/wants and doing it effortlessly is something people hands down are totally incapable of doing.

I waited tables in college on Capital Hill and come from a family of restauranteurs.  It is NOT an easy job but it's also a job that you can tell a lot about a person from.

Account management and sales abilities that you can't teach on the front end but a server who does both bringing out food and taking orders - that's multi-tasking and executive functioning skills added.   Show me someone who does that and well, who people love having wait on them, and I'll hire that person for anything at my company.

Unless you've waited tables before you have no idea.  And for bartenders - again - a lot of what people think is just being friendly is so much more.  Knowing your customer and remembering what they like, it's reading people but the true skill is knowing that the situation depends on who is involved.  Corporate sales is much easier - I've done both.
