Ugh, my job SUCKS.

[MrRubix]

I can speak from experience that the job market is pretty rough right now. I've found work, but it's been a lot harder to find what I want compared to, say, two years ago, when jobs were practically falling in my lap (that and I have retardedly high standards). Luckily, the worst of the crisis is over and things are picking up a bit -- unemployment should start to fall here.

My grandpa taught me a quarter for breakfast and lunch and 2 for dinner. Buffet is no tip since you do the work yourself.

But all in all, this is how I see it, Guru.
Do your parents rape you? Do they beat you? You get an education, a roof over your head, food, clothing, and extra things provided for you, right? You're probably going to continue onto college and work to be a productive and succeful member of society.
Just be thankful you have the job. Honestly, if this is the only thing you have to worry about (besides people online e-hating you) you're pretty damn lucky. But yes, we are allowed to complain from time to time. Just don't act like it's the end of the world. Find a solution, and act on it.

That's my two cents.

Dude, I could care less if you or the internet hated me it doesn't mean **** to me and I am very thankful that I have a job, that I am. No complaints, but there are certain circumstances where getting to work and having to work contrasts. It's true that I am making money even if it's the least it's still something right? But sometimes, there will be a point when you feel like you are doing more than what you are getting payed for. You'll start to realize that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows and that people aren't as nice as you think.

All I want is your input. That's it. The reason I made this was thread was so I can have you guys help me process information and to better my train of thought. That's what forums are for, to get people to share their opinions and see their thoughts about the subject, at least, for the most part, right? There are some posts that I found very helpful, some were just plain stupid, but most really helped me think and I thank you for that.

[ddrfeline]

Pffft I beg to differ. There's tons of nice people out there. However, good luck finding a new job (if that's the route you're taking) and hopefully you'll be tipped a little better next time at your current job.

[Gilly G]

Dude we tip like 2-4%.

Then again waiters are payed better but w/e.

[Ghakimx]

I worked 6 hours handing out flyers today and I got paid $30.

Thank you Giggles, for bringing some respect to the thread.

Really though, I don't know where you work, but most people I know don't screw people out of a tip unless they're ****ing up in the first place. Most people tip between 10-15% from what I've observed (I personally tip 15% minimum because it's easy to calculate and it's usually reasonable, and 20% if they exceeded expectations). If you're only getting 9 bucks tip cumulatively, are you doing a good job at work or are you slow/screwing up something often/being rude to customers/whatever?

If the fault lies in a cheap customer base for some reason, find a different job -- you should be earning more than that if you're doing your job well.

You're thinking of a waiter. Bus boys don't even need to get tips. ONly if the customers decide to, which they never do.

[MrRubix]

FFS you people can't read

[Emo_Saur_]

I get to work at a carwash.

Minimum Wage, plus tips.

Raceissue: I don't tip black people.
Unless they act white.

[justaguy]

guru it's probably because you're an idiot

[korny]

Get on some real sh*t and start waiting some tables. That's where the moneys at. Even at chili's I make like 70+ on average working a 4-5 hour shift .

Sounds like you may have to take it up with the wait staff.

called it

It's a perfectly reasonable assumption to make, and some restaurants don't split tips with buspersons. Most, however, do. Well, most that would hire people like me and Guru.

[MrRubix]

Right, Giggles.

Also lol

Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!
Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?
Mr. Pink: Nah, I don't believe in it.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?
Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make ****.
Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.
Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a ****ing Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?
Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.
Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.
Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special.
Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?
Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.


More seriously though, I'd advise looking at
http://www.findalink.net/tippingetiquette.php
or
http://people.howstuffworks.com/tipping1.htm

As they do a good job explaining what types of tips you can expect/how to handle the situation correctly.
