Is it easy being a waiter?

Question

Is it easy being a waiter?

Answer 1

it's not. The job is not necessarily brain surgery if you can hustle and multi-task. It's the demanding people. those that rattle ice in glasses, snap their fingers, ask for one thing at a time so you have to run back and forth, and then leave you 10% and think they did you a favor. At 10%, you have to sell $1,000.00 worth of food a night to make a hundred bucks. And to all who don't know, especially what we in the south call snowbirds, we only make $2.13 an hour. Just enough to cover taxes. I sold $399.10 today and made $64. That doesn't sound bad, but if i had not gotten a few crappy tips, I would have left with $80. Add the missed money up over a month, and you get screwed. Proper tip for good service is 20%. Job not hard, people who spend $50 to feed 4 people and leave u $3, that sucks.

Answer 2

there is no such thing is easy, job is a job.

I heard they make good tips, especially on holidays.

Enjoy :)

Answer 3

I can't imagine why anyone would seek out to be a waiter.(waitress) That has to be the toughest job to start out on. Just make sure you want to do it for the right reasons,  Not just because your friends say there are a lot of tips etc. You have to be a speacial kind of person to be a server.  You must be: kind,smart,patient,clean,neat,ambitious,... working,good natured,pleasant,get along with fellow employees,honest,truthful,smile constantly & many, many more attributes.  Get the idea???

Answer 4

No it is not easy. Taking the order, putting it in and taking it out is easy. But it is a very mentally tasking job. You constantly have to put up with people who treat you like c**p because you are a server (which obviously makes them better than you). Don't get me wrong, not everyone is like that but it is hard to keep smiling when you have to put up with the nasty people.

Answer 5

not really. The tips can be slow coming in when people are pinching thier penny's here lately. Plus you are always on your feet. You have to be nice even if the custamers aren't and you have a lot of side jobs to do besides just waiting on tables.

Answer 6

I would rather be paid to clean **** out of ASSES
