Does your daughter work at a high end restaurant?Every waiter\waitress goes through this it's known. My daughter still pulls 70k+. My cousin spent a good 2 years trying to find jobs because no one could even come close to paying him what he made as a waiter straight out of college.
Does your daughter work at a high end restaurant?
I keep on hearing stories about waiters/waitresses having to work multiple jobs because their wages are so low.
Good for her. I know engineers that make less than that.No but she does work in an area with a lot of tourist and cruise ships coming in and out which I'm sure helps. My cousin was making similar money though and he was just at like Saltgrass Steak house level places. He was making less than her but this was also like 10 years ago at this point.
Yea I was pretty shocked when she told me that. In fact when I told my dad that he said my younger brother was about the same and that he was shocked to find that out also. He's a waiter also but he works at some high-end golf course restaurant.Good for her. I know engineers that make less than that.
With that being said, you need a special constitution to be a good waitress. She's probably a very good people person.
All of it, bae!Do you want your change?/ How much do you want back?

miserable work, I even don't know how the fast food workers handle it when i watch from the drive through, people always want more more more. It really is for a certain demographic, younger folks, and some would say those types of jobs are rites of passage jobs, at least the fast food, barista sort of jobs. Older people do not have the patience for that shit, i know I never did, even when i was young.Yea I was pretty shocked when she told me that.

My daughter wants out though she's tired of being in that industry. So she started going to school last year.

I've been embarrassed quite a few times by people i've been with who I'd think would know how to act, take them someplace where they have a little power and they act a fool.
I think gender really makes a difference too, women are naturally more suited to serving, men definitely are not. Men are also more apt to be confronted in a trying way and be expected to be a pussy in that line of work.Yea I had real issues holding down a job before I got into my career in IT. I quit everything and had no patience for anyone's BS. When me and my wife drive around her favorite thing to do is try to find places I haven't worked. It's easier these days because the area has exploded and there's so many new places but when we first meet like 10 years ago it was very hard.
The only fun thing about those jobs is meeting new people to hang out with and women of course.
No shit. Just another example as to why tipping culture needs to die.I can’t believe this system of discretionary payment based on what the customer deems worthy is so widely accepted still
Then you have restaurants in California tacking on "living wage" surcharges of 3-5 percent. So not only do you have to subsidize their pay with tips, you're expected to pay the $16-17 an hour minimum wage they're making that the restaurant is too fucking cheap to pay them.The "song and dance" from servers is creepy it is basically like a smaller scale version of what a stripper does for tips.
like a lot of businesses really. My take? If you can't pay people, don't hire people. Simple shit but things have to be complicated.Then you have restaurants in California tacking on "living wage" surcharges of 3-5 percent.

This is true at low to mid-tier establishments, but for reasons I don't understand [Edit: the dynamics are different] high-end waiters tend to be male. As do hotel staff, tailors and the like.I think gender really makes a difference too, women are naturally more suited to serving, men definitely are not.
