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.

Whatever you wanna be when you grow up, "asshole" probably shouldn't be one of them, too much competition.

I mean, did you really think "like someone who's wasted your life" and playing Hard Work Olympics doesn't make you an asshole?

This so much.

Someone else always has it worse. Perspective is one thing, trying to invalidate someone else's complaint is another.

And it's stupid.

Punch yourself in the face.

Nice.

You're damn right.

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.

also to have a guaranteed minimum wage coverage if my tips don't add up

As far as I know, that's the law in all 50 states.

The sad thing is, a lot of places ignore that law (just like a lot of places ignore the mandated-by-law breaks that their employees are entitled to), and employees are afraid to report their employers because they might lose their jobs and get no money.

That's kind of a bullshit excuse given that legal protections exist for whistleblowers for a reason.

Except in order to enforce that protection, the person who was unjustly fired has to take their case to the appropriate government agency or get a lawyer (who they have no money to pay) and wait for the legal process to do its work... and in the meantime they've been evicted from their home because they couldn't pay their rent. So yeah, not actually bullshit.

If so, that's good.

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.
