I don't know, give you a job a lot of people don't respect and make your pay almost entirely dependent on tips and I bet you'd find reasons to gripe.

It's minimum wage work that on average pays substantially more than the labour is worth. You've got no serious risks to yourself, and the hours can be decent.

But they're deafening in their "you don't know how hard we have it".

spoken like someone who's never waited tables

'Bout to say. I never waited tables, but I worked in retail and being on your feet for 8+ hours a day can be rough. Feet hurt, legs hurt, back hurts. And wait staff have to carry heavy trays of food to boot. Those jobs aren't for sissies.

This. Retail is hard both physically and in terms of dealing with the public, who can be very obnoxious. I'm not saying it's "OMG the worst thing ever", but I'm a fairly strong and healthy person and after two years of being a cashier I had stabbing pains in my feet.

Spoken like someone who's wasted their life and think you can even come close to comparing to hard labour, or being a firefighter/nurse/cop/paramedic etc.

Spoken like a wannabe firefighter/nurse/cop/paramedic.

Wow, no.

Punch yourself in the face.

Nice.

Seconded.

It may be, but as someone who has waited tables, I will say they're pretty much right. It's just not that hard of a job. It pays all right, and generally speaking you can forget about it entirely when you leave work for the day. Nothing earth-shaking.

I had a similar experience but I've had the good fortune to generally work in an area that has mostly really nice people in it, and also to have a guaranteed minimum wage coverage if my tips don't add up.

Agreed. I usually got tipped fairly well and I can't say I ever had any really awful customers.

I encountered much worse when I worked retail.

Quick question: what country do you live in?

In a lot of states, it's WELL below minimum wage. I used to make $2.13 an hour waiting tables.

You were not making an average of $2.13 waiting tables.

How do you know? Are you fucking psychic? Can I get some lotto numbers off you?

that on average pays substantially more than the labour is worth.

You sound like a shitty tipper.

100%.

You sound like a hambeast.

Shame only one of these things is true, and it's not my 20% being shitty.

So when's your high school graduation? First week of June? Or did you get held back another year?

Edited 2014-05-13 01:04 (UTC)

Who says it's more than the labor is worth? Try running a restaurant without any serving staff for a day or two and see how far you get. Anybody who gives up a chunk of their finite amount of time on this Earth to do an honest and useful job for someone else should be well-compensated for it, no matter what kind of work it is.

Christ, people like you make me angry.

HEAR HEAR!!
