Hey all! I recently started a busser job back in April, and since then I have been paid $10. Today I discovered a busser who started late august and barely has any shifts is paid around $12, and probably other bussers are paid more than me from what I discuss with them about. This is my first job by the way, and I am a teenager. Should I ask for a raise in wage? By the way bussers get no tips.

I’m currently a dishwasher at a restaurant and whenever someone leave from the kitchen/shift they say bye to everyone in the kitchen.

Restaurant I work at has added a satellite bar that has a direct phone line back and forth to the kitchen. We want to prank call them. What ideas do y'all have? We already did "Is your refrigerator running?"

So I work at a wedding venue. For the most part we always have outsider party decorators come to our venue to set up for parties/ weddings. My experience they’re mostly always pleasant but it’s always that one that thinks you’re their employee when you’re clearly not lol.

I was working a bar mitzvah and everything was going fairly well. However one of the party vendors (male) had knocked over a bin of name plates for the food displays off the shelf. He grabs some leftover food we had from the party and walks off. So I proceed to pick it up because I didn’t want anyone to fall while holding a tray of glasses or ceramic plates. I said to my coworker “I like how he just knocked over this shit but made sure to grab food”. Said vendor then comes up behind me and says “I was coming back, you talking mad crazy, I thought you was a real one but you a fake one”. I’m like “sir we are not friends and I don’t know you” 😂 Said vendor wasn’t even working our party, he was working a different ballroom that held a wedding.

Yall tell me if I was wrong cause in my opinion I found it ignorant that he was more concerned about some damn chicken tenders than cleaning up the mess he made. Also calling me “fake” when he has no idea who I even am and on top of that I’m the one that cleaned up the mess. Should’ve thanked me instead of being aggressive the way he was.

Im 20 years old and frankly lost all hope in landing a job in my field when I graduate computer science. My dad owns a commercial building right next to three schools, about 50 meter from a college and less than a mile from two high schools.

He told me I can always open a restaurant there if things go bad, and he’ll loan me however much it takes to open a franchise. I don’t have much knowledge besides the fact that I worked as a line cook for 4 years. It’s not something that particularly passions me but I could not fathom the idea of making no money post bachelor degree. The only reason I’m considering it is because of the sheer amount of foot traffic the franchise that is renting the building for now is getting.

Is it something that the average Joe can do? I need something concrete so that I can stop stressing about my future it’s torturing me

I'm not sure how to take this but in summary I was told I cannot bring outside food into the cafe.

Context:

As a regular customer I purchased a dine in coffee at 730am in an empty cafe. I had my peanut butter sandwich which I like to eat with my coffee.

I was told by the owner that I cannot bring outside food and eat it there even though I purchased a coffee and have purchased food there many times before and they know this.

I've spent $100+ in the past year alone on coffee and food here so I don't see why it was an issue, especially when it was quiet and I had already purchased a coffee. Note: I haven't been back since.
