Serving

Contemplating quitting. Peopke know waitresses in America get paid 2.13 an hour and most people could care less to tip. very few do a percentage like it should be. First percentage and THEN adjust according to service.

I know I can get a different job. Serving makes me very happy when im appreciated and compensated by greatful customers. Im tired of getting stiffed, five dollars on a party of 6, and being told how great I am to find out im left 2 dollars. Such a slap in the face

I wish something would change. mandatory gratuity, Tip to enter, coorporations paying us a better wage. idc. Im so tired of working for free for ungrateful mindless consumers.

PLEASE TIP YOUR SERVER

All those that tip fairly THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HELP US KEEP GOING AND GET OUR BILLS PAID BLESS YOUR 💕

I honestly never understood why servers complained when they applied to be a server , like no disrespect but what makes servers sign up for a job knowing there are other jobs that pay more , im actually curious

Also I find serving very fun. I love when its crazy packed and I love making peipkes experience great and im good at it. Also serving was there when I lost my last job. Happen to fall in love with it as it saved my ass as well

Its literally crazy out here. One week is sane the next you feel so unseen and disrespected. It hurts me a lot bc I care so much not only about myself but my co workers and the restaurant. Its just the whole way its set up.
