schani

From the Viennese "Schanigarten", the schani is the waiter who drew the short straw and has to run back and forth from the kitchen to the outside beer garden. Typically this is the waiter with the least seniority you can assign the task to, or the youngest waiter. "Schani" or "Schaniarbeit" (Schani work) is therefore the work you don't feel like doing so you assign it to someone else.
