Being a waiter rocks!

Some people are so full of **** here. I mean you can make good money, but 300-400 a night? Come on with it!
Unelss he is working in a 5 star restraunt waiting on nothing but rich *****es, then I call BS!

just because you're a bad tipper doesn't mean everyone is.

i used to work at a resturaunt out in Novi, which is one of the more upscale suburbs of detroit, and i pulled 250 a night as a serve. it wasn't even a super nice resturaunt, it just had a lot of business clientelle(sp?)

if he was working at a halfway decent resturaunt, in a nice area, and he provided good service, 300-400 doesn't sound unreasonable to me at all.

but that's because i've worked at resturaunts in the past so i understand the field somewhat. and i use the term field loosely.

I have tipped quite well when I have the money, thank you very much. My mom worked for years waiting tables at Red Lobster, so I have an idea about what they go through and have respect for them.

My friend who used to work for the marriot, which was upscale as you can get, didn't bring home that kind of chedder........... and was in a very upscale area to boot. 300-400 maybe, if you are working 14 plus hours, but on a regular 8 hr day, I still call BS!
