I just got a raise up to 8.10. Our cost of living may be less, I'm not sure. It is decent pay compared to what else there is around here.

People call out at my job a lot too. And than those who did show up get bitched at for falling behind. I have gotten into screaming matches on a regular basis at my job. I swear, they should want us to all show up stoned. They just recently stoped walking all over the resturant telling back of house to "smile."

I do smile at how poorly the resturant is run sometimes.
