Re: Does anyone bitch about their job more than servers?

[cassandraoftroy]

That's pretty standard for most jobs, though. Even my nice cushy desk jobs would sometimes require me to do things that weren't in the job description.

Except those other jobs are paying you for doing those things. In most parts of the US, the legal minimum wage for tipped servers is $2.13 an hour, with the expectation that they'll work their way back up to "real" minimum wage in tips. That $2.13 pretty much just covers their payroll tax, so when they're not waiting tables, they're not earning money.

Again, something common to many jobs, just without the serving food to other people part.

That's kind of a big "except," when you're serving and handling hot, delicious-smelling food after not having eaten all day. And those "cushy" jobs you mentioned before are usually a lot better about making sure employees get their legally-mandated breaks.

That really, really depends on the job. If you're working as event staff, for example, you might not be able to take a break for hours because you might be trying to fix an issue behind the scenes and you can't just go off to take a break. If you're working an administrative, legal, or accounting job, you might have a document that has to be submitted by a certain date and time no matter what.

Jobs with strict deadlines can be pretty bad as far as taking breaks is concerned.

I agree, other jobs can also be crappy in some ways. But people in those jobs are not being taunted with other people's food right under their noses, and they're being paid for their time. Being paid is kind of a big deal when you're working.
