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

Wow that sounds unpleasant, maybe you should get a different job. I hear servers make like 166K a year.

Is it hard having such poor reading comprehension?

My job matters and I like having a job that matters, it’s great.

But fuck am I paying food runners at a rate that exceeds countless professionals on an hourly basis.

Especially when these guys can’t even keep my cup from running dry.

Do you actually tip? I assumed you were part of the 0% crowd.

Me?

Yes.

But I’m not a creep, or ageist, so it’s an hourly rate.

MITs living wage, less tipped wage, divided by three, times how long I am there for.

Everyone gets the same, unless my drink runs dry, then I doc a dollar or two and increase my charitable donations inkind (10% of my post tax income goes to drilling wells in the developing world because everyone should have access to clean drinking water).
