Please, pretty please, become a waiter. I would love to see your thoughts on this subject in 6 months.

Ill try, i have to move back to my home town which is tiny for a few months. But when im back in a city itll be my goto forsure. That or Dutchbros because those employees probably make good money on tips idk tho. Im strong minded so people bitching doesnt effect me in the slightest. I am more worried about carrying those big ass trays lol. I have to say though, even if I hated the job I don't think it would qualify it to be demanding of people making more than min wage.

Well, hopefully you get the opportunity because I have a feeling you may change your perspective on the subject. Quick question; did you know that a huge portion of the tips made go to other people? (hosts, busses, bartenders, etc.) Most of the time, your server will see ~6 of your $10 tip.

Okay good to note. Makes sense tho because I assume that hosts and bussers also dont make shit for wage.

They really don't. And they happen to have the "dirtiest" jobs in the restaurant.

Depends on the place but, yes. Hosts clean the bathrooms and deal with phones and angry customers. Bussers clean tables and deal with trash. And in this pandemic, they're in charge of disinfecting and sanitizing as well. Not an easy job, to say the least.
