Ask any server what hurts most after a double shift, sometimes it's their heads from the craziness of the day but generally it's their feet!

Your feet are the unsung heroes of the service industry - carrying you through endless hours of standing, pivoting, rushing, and somehow still smiling through the pain.

In this episode, I'm talking about the body part that literally keeps us going: our feet. From finding the right footwear that actually holds up to 12-hour shifts, to that one kind table who took one look at me limping and immediately offered sympathy, to the surprising ways restaurant layout and your own body mechanics can make or break your foot health.

We'll cover:

• The shoe brand that this server swears by
• How restaurant flow can make or break your feet
• That magical moment when a customer actually notices you're human and hurting
• The small adjustments that made a huge difference in my daily pain levels

If you've ever hobbled to your car after a shift wondering if your feet will ever recover, this episode is for you. Because taking care of your feet isn't vanity - it's survival.

Perfect for servers and hospitality workers dealing with chronic foot pain, anyone who works on their feet all day, restaurant managers looking to improve employee wellness, and people curious about the physical toll of service work.

We've all been hangry, that uncomfortable mix of hunger and irritability that makes everything feel more difficult. But here's the thing: being an adult means managing that feeling without taking it out on the people trying to help you.

In this episode, I'm talking about the phenomenon of "hangry" customers who use their hunger as an excuse to act out in restaurants. From dramatic sighs to passive-aggressive comments to the customer who literally put his head down on the table like a exhausted toddler, I've seen it all...

We're breaking down why hunger doesn't excuse bad behavior, how servers deal with adults who can't regulate their emotions, and the difference between being genuinely hungry and using "hangry" as permission to be rude. Spoiler: If a five-year-old can learn to use their words when they're hungry, so can you!

In this episode:

• The customer who performed his hunger while waiting for his food
• Why "I'm hangry" doesn't make it okay to snap at your server
• The emotional regulation skills adults are supposed to have
• How to handle hunger like a grown-up in public spaces

If you've ever had a customer blame their behavior on being hungry — or if you've wondered why some adults act like toddlers when their blood sugar drops — this one's for you.

Perfect for current and former servers, anyone who's dealt with emotionally dysregulated adults, or people who believe hunger isn't an excuse for bad behavior.

In this episode, we're talking about oversharing — specifically the kind that happens in restaurants, at counters, and in places where someone is legally required to be polite to you.

From customers announcing their urgent bathroom needs, to casually dropping life-altering information like divorces, affairs, and medical details mid-order, this episode explores why some people treat service workers like unwilling therapists… or confession booths.

We break down why this behavior is wildly inappropriate, why it happens so often, and how being trapped behind a smile and a name tag turns workers into emotional dumping grounds. It's awkward, it's invasive, and somehow it's always said right before you ask, "Would you like fries with that?"

In this episode:

• The psychology behind why customers overshare with service workers
• Is this behavior acceptable? (Spoiler: I don't think so)
• The question for other servers and bartenders: do you think this is okay?
• Why oversharing goes both ways — servers shouldn't do it either

If you've ever been forced to respond to way too much information with "Oh… okay 😊," this one will feel painfully familiar.

Perfect for current and former service workers, anyone who's been trapped in an awkward customer conversation, or people who want to understand what really happens behind the counter.

Can you drink coffee on carnivore? It’s one of the most common questions people ask. In this episode of the Ms. Roboto Podcast, I explore the pros and cons of keeping coffee on carnivore, how it affects digestion, energy, and sleep, and my personal experience with it. Whether you’re a strict carnivore or just curious, this episode will help you decide if coffee fits into your journey.

In this episode, I'm talking about a customer who tried to flex their job title and "important position" to get what they wanted — a limited-edition Bearista cup from Starbucks.

We're diving into the weird phenomenon of customers who genuinely believe their résumé should override store policies, inventory limits, and basic reality. From casual name-dropping to thinly veiled threats to full-blown "Do you know who I am?" moments, this episode breaks down why some people think their authority at work magically transfers to coffee shops and the people working there.

It's a story about entitlement, misplaced power dynamics, and the absurd comedy of watching someone completely unravel because a novelty cup doesn't care about their LinkedIn profile.

In this episode:

• The psychology behind "Do you know who I am?" customers
• Why job titles don't mean anything in retail and food service
• How entitlement shows up in the strangest ways
• The art of staying professional when someone's pulling rank over a coffee cup

If you've ever had a customer try to intimidate you with their credentials, you're going to relate hard to this one.

Perfect for current and former service workers, anyone who's dealt with entitled customers, or people who need a reminder that everyone deserves basic respect — regardless of job title.

Wondering what you can actually eat on the carnivore diet? In this episode, I break down the staple foods, optional add-ons, and simple meal ideas that make carnivore sustainable. From beef and eggs to fish, poultry, and even organ meats, you’ll get a clear roadmap for grocery shopping and meal planning.

In this episode, I'm telling the story of the time a customer called me stupid for asking a perfectly reasonable question: "Did you want alcohol in that?"

But here's the thing... servers aren't stupid! We're college students working on degrees. We're people with incredible social intelligence who can read a room, juggle ten tables, diffuse tense situations, and remember your aunt's gluten allergy all at once. The skills that make someone a great server: quick thinking, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, multitasking under pressure, which would make them successful in any career that requires serious people skills.

So why do some customers assume we're idiots?

We're breaking down the ridiculous stereotype that service work equals low intelligence, why clarifying questions are actually professional (not dumb), and how the best servers possess skills that translate to sales, management, healthcare, customer service, and beyond.

In this episode:

• The intelligence and skill it actually takes to be a good server
• Why so many servers are working through college or building other careers
• How emotional intelligence and people skills are undervalued in the service industry
• The condescension servers face — and why it's completely undeserved!

If you've ever been underestimated because of your job title, this one's for you.

Perfect for current and former servers, college students working in restaurants, or anyone who's tired of service workers being treated like they're less-than.
