I asked one of the employees, after checking back for like the 7th or 8th time, how the manager is. All of them said, he is a complete buffoon and has a very bad attitude.

It's a grind. Between the customers wanting things for free, customers complaining about things which aren't your fault but for which you must still apologize...then also the crackhead co-worker who keeps effing things up and you have to help clean up the mess...and the managers who throw you under the bus and aren't fit for their jobs....it's tough!

The girl has to fill out 8 racks with 15 trays under _four hours_ , the sheet that she references off of this is _20 pages long minimum_ and they pay _70 cents_ above _minimum wage_ They did the same to me, every tray had its own very specific instructions with varying bake times and I had to learn it within 5 days. I sucked balls for a couple months until she sent me to help other stores. Going to other stores that had more patient managers, I was able to slowly learn how to do things. Those stores were messy compared to ours, but still.. When the other 2 overnights at our store quit and I became their full-time, they're treating me with kid gloves, for now and I'm slowly learning more They still don't totally like me, but I know what I'm doing. They don't, however, do this to the other girl. They're a major chanin and expect way too much for the amount you have to learn and the pay they're giving.

@Raskolnikov70 Yea I know, and it's unreal. I have a "real" job (data entry for a lab being tracked to be a lab tech) so it doesn't affect me much. The first week of my job, they were so patient with me. They didn't snap, they sheepishly smiled when I asked, "How did you know that?" As they guided through how to use their system. It was the first time I felt treated like a human and not shoveled poo (I was in the food service before that for 7 years) and it was clicking buttons to put a number in the system to print out a sticker to put on a sample. It's easier, pays more, and gets the full package of paid 2 week vacation, 5 yearly sick/PTO days, and holidays. Each year, my performance review yields me a 50 cents a year raise (the job pays $4-5/hr more than baker job) no teasing bs of "do a better job, take the test, and we'll talk about it" for a 25 cent raise every 2 years, just a raise from their appreciation. These jobs treat others like poo, the only reason I'm working was for business work contract for reduced school tuition. After a summer of working full time on top of my full-time job for them, the GM of my store pulled teeth, refusing to sign the contract despite me having save 2 months of pay stubs and hr telling her SHE had to be the one to sign 🙃 She refused. This is, by far, the shitest food service job I've had. They expect way more out of you for the pay. I've worked all positions in the industry this is the one where they expect you to memorize a volume of material and master it within a week along with the speed.

If a little weed was found or a guest room smelled straight up like it, they would be asked to leave or have the police involved. Sometimes the police were called over possible prostitution (worried about human trafficking especially). Bed bugs were a problem.

@@abrahammesrajecorrea2349it might’ve been a blessing in disguise. Typically the tips are good money, but if the company is a bad place, they’ll take it out of the paycheck. And you must be very hard on the coworkers that treat you like sht, with customers just be tough but not enough in where you’ll be the bad guy

[@this_name_is_not_available6923]

lol very accurate. I don’t work as a restaurant server/waiter but I observe their work when I go to restaurants and treat them with respect. Tipping is not required since I live in a developing country but I do tip them most of the times specially if they look busy yet serve you properly, I tip them more. There are almost no Karens here fortunately, I hope it’s just a Western thing.

[@abrahammesrajecorrea2349]

Kinda, there will be Karens every now and then, it's just a matter of luck. I remember I had to deal with 2 different ones in separate times. And a guy that was the most Karen being ever, only because guy was a renowned painter from the country or something like that. Guy was not humble at all...

I feel lucky. I waited at an a neat old school Italian restaurant where the owner talked to the guests like family but was surprisingly stern and made sure to close out reservations a half hour before the kitchen closed. Long hours and hard work, but its what got me through college

[@Ouroborosus]

I was working in hotel, very similar job. At least in 12-16h shift you don't have time to think about anything so you don't have time for depression or anything, also after your shift you can get some coke in glass and eat dinner for free, $per hour was also higher than mcdonald so in the end some profits but it takes so much time that you literally live for work.

55 Likes before it even starts. Wojak MUST work at a swanky restaurant where he has to serve Bogdanoff, Chad, and Emily who is with Chad at the table. Bogdanoff offers to leave a lot of the latest crypto as his tip instead of cash. Wojak accepts. After Wojak clocks out, Chad calls Bog to tell him that Wojak just left. "Dump It" is the reply. Wojak's tip money is all gone.

as a former waiter at a family owned restaurant my diet was monster,cigs,and occasional double shots of jager during my shifts. the zoomers coming in right before closing was accurate asf!

[@rumrunner8019]

I've been a server for almost 20 years, on and off. The only thing I disagree with is the length of the shifts. Usually you only work a five to six hour shift and if you're on a double you always have that downtime between lunch and dinner to eat or chill or whatever. If you get good at it and get into fine dining, you can make good money, and some better houses even offer benefits. Of all the "low budget" jobs, this one is probably the best. I work at a Michelin starred restaurant and I make a minimum of $70,000/year, and I only work like 25-30 hours a week. But that's because I learned all I could, worked my way up, and even got my level two sommelier card. All and all, it isn't a bad gig. A lot of people in this industry either go into management or work in sales. A solar company hired a couple servers from a restaurant I worked at to sell solar panels to clients (no cold-calling needed) Or you could go into event planning. It's a fast-paced job, yes, but it's good money.

[@JohnnyEscopeta]

Interesting, every time I dine in a Michelin starred restaurant waiters are somethings else. They are like super proud of what they do and happy. I'm glad to read they are properly compensated.

[@JRyan-lu5im]

@@JohnnyEscopeta Usually a restaurant that goes out of its way for a pedigree awawrd wont take a shmuck. I could count on one hand the times I've come across wait staff with exceptional manners and menu skill - they where at very reputable fine dining restaurants. One waitress knew ENTIRE 20 item dessert menu and every ingredient in them while the owner could do the same with the main menu. They're all versed in table wait etiquette, and so on. It's like a different world in terms of going to eat, but its rare to find such a place, and you really pay for it.

[@ItsGippetto]

I worked as a server for a few years. I was never able to really take a break, there’s was no 30-60 minutes lunch break. Taking a break was literally you giving away money because the minute you step off the floor a bunch of customers could come in. Not mention several days I did doubles. 10am to 11:30pm. I remember this one new girl started and she worked a few hours and she went to our manager and was like hey, when is my break? The manager said break? You must not have worked in the food industry before. There is no break sweetheart, you eat as you go. She quit that night. The video is very accurate!

[@swaky5138]

We had a bouncer his name was Mike and the last 15 minutes before closing was his final break (idk why maybe because of safety reasons) but Mike would let no one into the restaurant during those 15 minutes. Our saving grace.
