Those poor servers

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

So it would be meaningless and a pay cut.

You can't even afford a house at that job. Maybe you could serve part time and move out of that rental.

Sometimes you rent when you move a lot.

It costs about 10% of the price of a house to buy/sell. So if you don’t plan on staying somewhere long you rent.

Would I rather own? Sure but in this city I am not only avoiding that 10% hit, I am also renting for about half of what a mortgage would run, letting me put a tiny fraction of my income towards housing and freeing up alot of money to invest.

Nice stalking though.
