I'm pretty curious on how your experience was with working these types of jobs.

Was it:
Easy
Stressful
Bad pay
decent pay
Horrible customers
Etc.

I tried it, it's very hard work and you have to know how to multi task

Ultimately, i didn't have the short term memory or motivation to keep up

My last day i totally forgot to enter a whole family's food order so i just walked out of Applebee's in the middle of my shift and never looked back

This white guy chased after me into the parking lot and was like "wait! Dont! This is a character moment'!"

I drove off like fuuuuuuuuck applebees character moment my ass

:russ::dead:

do people tip the bartender good?
I think it depends on what kinda place it is. At a resturant, when I order food to go at the bar I dont tip and I don't go to bars some I can't say.

i did it for several years in my early 20's. loved it but hated it at the same time. loved having cash on hand but hated the stress that came with it. when it gets busy it really is the worst fukkin job you could have. nothing worse than having like 5-6 tables at once on a busy night and nothing is going right. it can get really, really hard. and when things take long some people really don't have an understanding of what's going on and they blame you.

lol i still have nightmares about it. real talk. in the nightmares i'm always lost and overwhelmed.

I waited tables for awhile in college and it was horrible. The money was alright, but people are rude, expect you to read their minds and are filthy animals when eating in public. I finally walked out when a 6 top that came in right at closing and kept me running for drinks an extra 2 hours after I was supposed to be off left me one of those "god" dollars on the table as a tip.

Never have, but I've known more then a few waitresses, services, bottle service girls, bartenders, that shyt seems so degrading and demeaning. Some of them get off on it though, but really they are being exploited for their sexuality.....the few dollars in tips to support a far less then 50k a year existence isn't worth it. It's one of those professions I see women get trapped into, end up like 30+ with not marketable skills without stripping or escorting, and service work. I will admit I see those small restaurant closed world environments as somewhat fascinating sometimes. It becomes these peoples entire world. The inter politics, the rumors, the scandals, backstabbing, I am aware that is every job anywhere almost, but the fact that it can be some god awful chain restaurant or gauche nightclub makes it all the more interesting.

A close friend of mine is close to 30 and a server/waiter still, he's been in it 10 years, and he lives a moderately comfortably. It's just such bullshyt work, and I emphasize with everyone who does it. I constantly debate with friends over their treatment of severs and waitresses, I tell them they have an entitlement issue, and are demanding of servers to exercise their dominance, to feel secure about themselves and their position. They say it's because they are helping the servers become better at their job lol which is of course laughable....
