The one thing most people don't understand is that here in the states, the average wage for a waiter is about $3.50 /hr, and take out taxes, and that comes out to a whopping 30 bucks a week. What pissed me off when I was a waiter is getting complaints about the food quality, It's not like I made you're F'ing food! GRRRRR, sry for the rant, but waiting IS the top 5 most stressful jobs out there because the money you earn is completly based on what people leave you. I hate it when some people are like "Waiting isnt hard, there already making enough per hour, so I'll just leave a couple bucks." I always leave at least 10%, good service=15-20%.
