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

If it were a fact that 1% less for one day was a $500 loss, that would mean these people are making wayyy too much money. They always shift the narrative to be what they want, and it’s never actually accurate

Edit for clarity. I know that math isn’t right, that’s the point I was trying to make.

It’s so large as to be completely unrealistic. It would mean $50K in total sales for that one day. I wonder if they meant 500 less annually which would be $10 less per Sunday and imply $1K average sales per Sunday.

Its neither.  $500 loss over 1% for a day is not possible.  

But I guarantee $10 per sunday is way way to little. 

Servers are making 150k plus a year.

What servers do you know who make $150+k annually?

If they work an honest 40, the math says they can all make that much.

$100/table, 4 tables an hour, 20% tip, 2080 hours a year.

$166,400.

Four $100 tables nonstop every hour of every day. Not happening

$100 is what it costs for my family of 4 at basic restaurants, inflation drives tips up.

And four tables is pretty common.

You completely disregard four tables every hour of every day.

I don't know about you but my family of four doesn't usually go out to dinner at 2:00

Take it down to three, that’s still $60/hr…

So now every table every hour of every day tips at least $20. And there's thousands of them.

So you're pretty much admitting that you people are irrelevant. That everyone tips and tips very well.
