Elder waitresses should be called something else, like waitrons or waitriarchs.
Server. Everyone is a server.
And a group of servers is called a kubernetes.
Shouldn’t it be a “cluster”?
I thought about that, but I didn’t think that got the joke across as well. Probably overthought it but 🤷♂️
I doubt many people outside of IT know what Kubernetes is 😅. At least with “Cluster” you get a “Why?” Instead of “What?”.
Right, but at least for now that’s most of the demographic on Lemmy.
Academically perhaps. In the field it’s colloquially called a “hospitality night”.
Nginx wench
I am super lazy so I often pick terms like this by default so I don’t have to spend cycles thinking about age or gender.
Using which Linux distro?
Waitress superior
Waitriarchs is very witty, well done.
Waitlocks
You’re thinking of an Eldritch Waitress. What OP meant was a waitress that fuses metal objects together.
That’s a wailder. OP was thinking of a waitress that works with locks.
That’s a waitcracker. OP was thinking of a waitress who just walks into a house of bears, eats their food and falls asleep.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !crosspost@lemmy.crimedad.work
Good bot
In a few languages you refer to people based on their relative age vs yourself. So a young waitress is one word, a older waitress is another, etc.
Fellow human seems to work.
hey are you a fellow human? yeah cool grab me a glass of water please uhh i don’t work here
We are hiring a fellow human for low wages but you might get great tips what do i need to do? youll be a servant to rude dirtbags. can i call myself a waitress instead please? No our culture requires official titles to be fellow human for all staff and patrons and you will all go by the name Sam
Yeah, but if I start shouting that in a restaurant I’m going to get everyone’s attention instead of the old lady responsible for my meal.
Why?
I don’t know. They seem more powerful.
Meaningless titles with superfluous connotations just leads us to more useless middle management.
We don’t need a new term.

Should new ones be called waitrwards?
