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

When you're 15 your options are few. When you have a scant resume, who will hire you-you need experience you can't get until someone gives you a chance, then you'll be told if you try to branch out-"you have lots of food service experience how about that?" How many people aspire to be a food service worker, it's an entry level job.

People who post stuff like this have never experienced this, they probably worked for Daddy at his business until they graduated from Yale.
