<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I am a waitress at a mid-sized restaurant just outside of a major city.  I'm pretty new to it--I have been doing it about 3 months.

By now, I should be getting the hang of things, right? So why do I feel like I suck at my job? When we get a rush, I get flustered, and I don't know if it's because I'm just not cut out for this, or if management  sucks.

Is it normal, or reasonable, for example, for a server to have 8 tables, one of which is a party of 9? When there is no hostess? We don't have sections, either--my tables spread out all over the restaurant. This happens all the time.

I am seriously asking, because it seems like a lot to me, and when my boss told me to take another table of 4, I basically told her I can't do it and still do a good job. Even at 8 tables and one party, I was forgetting shit like ketchup and couldn't keep up on my refills, which of course I was being reprimanded for. My manager was helping a little but I still felt totally overwhelmed. Meanwhile I was being told to "slow down." I'm still not the fastest at the computer and I try to make up for it with foot speed when I'm busy.

What do you think? I know it's time for a new job for a variety of reasons. But really, am I just not catching on to this job like I should, or do I need to try waiting tables somewhere else?
<bot>: Are 8 tables, one of which is a party of 9, too many for a waitress to reasonably handle or do I suck at my job? Tell me honestly.
