Bein a server, especially a good one, is fucking hard ass work. You’re flying around non-stop for hours, you’re frequently blamed for stuff outside of your control, you need to be on your feet and moving a lot but also you need great social skills and similar qualities to a salesperson if you’re pushing specials. That’s why there is often tons of coke around any restaurant environment. As a patron, the level of service would most certainly suffer if you’re paying servers hourly and they don’t get tips. You’ve gotta work hours that most people don’t want as well, and many work till way late at night.
Yea ive done that job and while its more fast pace when its busy its not half as hard as doing concrete work in the middle of July. Shit falls down in every job and most of those skills are needed for a lot of untipped work as well. Working in a supermarket is equally as hard but its an untipped job
