I thought there was a minimum wage in the US and didn't they recently raise that? I thought it was something like $12-15 hour? If she doesn't get any wage, fair enough but even then $80/shift isn't bad. I've worked decades in this business and then dropped it after COVID. Fun fact, I was getting 10 Deutsch mark an hour 30 years ago and today the minimum wage in catering is €13/h. So an average shift will net you ~60 EUR plus tips which are basically not worth mentioning these days.

So yeah, I'm not working for €13/h with 30 years of experience, hotel training, graduation as restaurant professional and thousands invested in my Cocktail trainings and certificates. I make more money staying at home.

It really depends of the state. I’m a waiter and I get 2.15 an hour 😂 not sure if she gets a wage tho, most likely not (hooters).

And yeah, it is actually pretty crazy what waiters/tresses can make in a 4 hour shift. Something I leave with 200$ on a weekend of 5 hours. But then again, is a gamble. Sometimes you make good and sometimes you don’t.

Don’t tell me 13 euro? In Venezuela I worked for $2 a day for full 8 hours 🤣🤣🤣 countries currencies are fucked

I didn't know that you also work in catering. 💪

That wage though, makes me understand why Americans tip 20% but I think it's ridiculous to expect anyone to almost work for free because "you get tips". Tips can vary a lot and that's not a "secure income".

That's a steal though.
