Elder waitresses should be called something else, like waitrons or waitriarchs.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

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
Using which Linux distro?
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.
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.
"Bar wench! Where's me grog?!"
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.
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?
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.
