Your OP is ALWAYS an open invitation to flame.

Nobody on the internet cares about your personal problems.

Re: Ugh, my job SUCKS.

Some people care, but a majority of the community sees it as an invitation to troll. Saying nobody just guarantees that you'll be wrong.

Re: Ugh, my job SUCKS.

How about I revise my statement?

98% of the people on the internet could care less about how little you make at your job. Get a new job, get paid more, move on with your life.

Thread doesn't need to continue any longer.

It's not uncommon in message boards for people to form a sense of community. Every thread in ffya where people vent about their life or ask for advice gets helpful consolation and advice in return. It really says something about the quality of the forum if this is the standard thought process.

To be fair, Guru bitching about low tips when he should be grateful to just have a job is a bit silly.

Re: Ugh, my job SUCKS.

Where do you work? What do you do? I made like an easy $100 for working 5-6 hours daily as a waiter in some sketch pizzeria. Might wanna look into a new job.

wait didn't you make a thread about trying to get your job back after you quit? You should really be happy you have a job, period.

I'm a busboy.

You make 100$ tips? Somebody ****ing kill me..I thought about quitting but it took me three weeks to get this job since I quit the last one. (You all remember the last thread?)

And, isn't FFR supposed to be an open-minded community?

Show more cleavage -- it seems to work for the ladies.

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.

What you say is true, but for some odd reason it's just extremely easy to flame on Guru's little problems.

Ah, well busboys usually make more wages, while waiters/waitresses get more tips. So it helps smooth out the earnings gap.

But in general, wait staff do make more than buspeople.

EDIT: also, I live in an extremely affluent area and the restaurant is extremely popular despite being.... cheap is a good word for it.

When I bus I usually make around $35 in tips if I bus the whole place solo and half that if I have a second busperson helping.

dude i made 70 bucks easy being a busboy in a really small restaurant

Consider this, Guru: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...0032650AAIZWnd

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

Re: Ugh, my job SUCKS.

You complain too much.

[MrGiggles]

Re: Ugh, my job SUCKS.

The way it works where I work is that the waitstaff gives %15 total tips to the person who helps them bus. So it's unlikely it's Guru's fault, really. After all, most people assume wait staff are the sole recipient of their tips.

tips alone or total earnings?
EDIT: and how many hours?

Busboys only get tipped 1-3%. I work harder than any other busboy I'm usually the fastest yet here I am busting my ass for low minimum even though I should be making more. I guess it's the job that sucks, not my work habits.

(How do you tip bussers 20% thats wayyy more than you should be giving?)

[i love you]

Re: Ugh, my job SUCKS.

You will probably be better off working at a food store instead of being a busboy at a restaurant since apparently it's not getting you anywhere.
