How is it? Im thinking about becoming one at this one restaurant. Seems pretty chill despite the late hours you have to work sometimes. The tips would come in handy too.

my sister is a busser at claim jumpers and all the servers in her section have to tip her out 2 PERCENT OF THEIR TOTAL SALES she makes 90 to 120 every night she works and 160 on thanksgiving on tips alone closest we will ever get to arab money lol

but i was a wiater at dennys for a month and i couldnt take it
it gets pretty stressful when its busy and you gotta have a real good memory

but just like anything it gets easier with time

Waiter= dealing with asshole customers, dealing with asshole cooks/staff, customers running you to death for butters,napkins, condiments.., getting stiffed with tips or have an 8 top and only get like a $2 tip.


Busser is not dirty job unless you're going thru the tub trying to find food to eat like you're poor.

best thing about being a dishwasher is you get all the beer you can chug... before your manager finds out and fires you

I didn't do a paper route, per se.

But I did sell SF Chronicle subscriptions door to door for like 3 years when I was 14-17.


I was making a killing ! All cash pay, no taxes.

$800 a week in cash every saturday !

We'd roll around in a big ass white van, and just get dropped off and have blocks assigned to us. I remember being invited into hella people's homes, them giving us food, drinks, money. Hahaha...hella fun.

We used to get dropped off in Chinatown and blow all of our money on dumb shit like throwing knives and other asian trinkets.

I smell bullshit, bussers never make that much in tips!!!!!

So say she makes on one night $120 which is 2% of the waiters gross sales. That means the waiter sold $6000 in food/drink before taxes.

Which also means the waiter, before tipping made $900 if she made 15% his/herself. I doubt it.
