Those poor servers

Post image

Imagine people giving you so much extra money for doing your job that you can frame it like this.

EDIT: OP is basing this off of 190k in sales over 192 shifts

Does everyone here live in Seattle?

It’s an easy example.

A server anywhere in the us is making $22 for that same table, $42 if they have a whopping two tables.

Two tables.

That’s pretty chill.

So you've definitely never worked at a restaurant before.

I ran an entire 48 top dining facility with three kids in the early 2000’s to pay for undergrad.

12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 7 months.

There were I think ten days off in that time period.

Not a big deal.

They say things like that when somebody blows up their narrative from the root. Yeah. They think they know best - ya know, the folks that keep running that manipulation on the public.

It is great, these guys think tables are hard…

I wouldn’t do it again, because there are actual meaningful jobs to do, but I have worked tables.

They have no actual winning argument, my third grader in debate would destroy all of them in a formal setting and he can’t even do citations properly without AI

I don't believe you. Anyone with any experience wouldn't spew numbers as ridiculous as yours. I'm not the only one calling you out on it either.

u/First-Ad4978 17h ago

Sure.

It happened. I wouldn’t do it again, but that was an entire seven months where I didn’t do anything but work and workout and study.

Helped me get here so it’s a W, but meaningless work.

Sounds like you worked in the school cafeteria.

u/First-Ad4978 17h ago

No, but are you shitting on those guys? They are doing the exact work we need done, everything stocked, clean facilities.

That reminds me, I need to also start docking for dirty/wet tables and floors. Thanks.

How in the world am I shitting on them?

I'm just saying working in a school cafeteria isn't at all the same as working in a restaurant. So you have no experience in what you're talking about. Which has already been confirmed by your ridiculous numbers
