Working as a waiter/waitress (or also commonly referred to as server) allows you to maximize your potential earnings on the traditional weekend (Saturday and Sunday) due to a massive increase in restaurant customers; this is because most people, adults and kids alike, are off from school/work on these days.
Thus it is common practice for a server to work on the days mentioned above.
This results in the common server to get their two days off on days like; Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, or perhaps even taking working Saturday but not Sunday or Monday, really any consecutive pair of the other 5 days (work-days) in the week.
These two days may be referred to as a “waiter weekend” by a restaurant server (or perhaps any restaurant employee).
Author Note:
~I’ve worked in a quite a few restaurants in my years, some arcade restaurant place, On The Border, Longhorn Steakhouse, and currently Olive Garden (these are the ones I worked at the longest), I’ve heard this used on maybe 8-9 occasions, so it’s not too common, but I like the phrase.

When you've been a waiter so long that you inhale every meal you eat, unable to slow down and enjoy the food. This is typically due to repeatedly not getting breaks on long shifts, and having to scoff down a meal in-between tables.
