I Really Hate My Job

A 2007 British indie film starring Neve Campbell

""Take this food back to the customers or I will bludgeon you all to death!""

No waitress ever describes themselves as a waitress. They call themselves things like a struggling actress, a writer, an artist, or a revolutionary.

It tells the story of five women working in a second-rate, rat-infested restaurant in London, and how they all have dreams of becoming something greater in life.

This film contains examples of these tropes:

 * Ax Crazy: Alice seemed to be on the verge of this, if the quote up there says anything.
 * Bittersweet Ending:
 * The Cameo
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Averted with Rita But Suzie seems to be a genuine example.
 * Cringe Comedy
 * Fan Service:
 * Heroic BSOD
 * I Just Want to Be Special: Pretty much the whole point of the film. You see them as just three waitresses, a cook, and a dishwasher. They see themselves as an artist, an actress, a novelist, and even a revolutionary. The only one who doesn't seem to have delusions of grandeur is Madonna.
 * I Just Want to Have Friends: Madonna.
 * Inelegant Blubbering Poor Alice..
 * Jerkass: Abi, who only worries about her own needs, at all times.
 * Lethal Chef Alice, who is in no way a chef, but simply was given a spatula, bonus pay, and shoved into the kitchen from hell.
 * Loving a Shadow: Abi has a celebrity crush on Danny Huston. She worries that he may not be as perfect as she imagines, but quickly brushes it off with the thought that he might fall madly in love with her.
 * Nerd Glasses: Madonna
 * Slice of Life: It was a nice way of seeing how stressful waitressing really can be.
 * Straight Gay:
 * Team Mom: Madonna tries so very, very hard to bring the employees together as a family, she is less than successful.
 * You Just Told Me
