By Annie | Published March 04, 2016

How many of you Kansans have waited tables at one time or another? I did during college—and it was one of the hardest, most frustrating jobs I have ever had. (To all of you veteran waiters and waitresses: I salute you.) If you have ever waited tables in Kansas, you know these 13 things to be far too true:

1. Since Kansas is on the tip of the Bible Belt, residents love attending Sunday service and then heading to lunch in big groups.

2. You have the same (often older) regulars who visit at the same time everyday.

5. ...or Shockers game on, the place is guaranteed to be packed.

8. This probably happens everywhere, but I noticed my co-workers taking A LOT of smoking breaks.
