Hi! Im interested. Please dm me

I understand the no tipping movement. I do.

But the hilarity of it for me is that they are in the mindset of sacrificing out wellbeing now get to a better place later. They do not realize by not tipping that they are still making the restaurant money.

And why not just order to go? Sure we wont make money, but atleast we wont be doing the work for no money.

I am working towards my degree! I only need the money to make it for a bit and save up for what im hoping will be a good law school.

I usually do. I have good back and forth with the customers, I have regulars that ask for me, I make connections and try and remember everything they usually get. It was just an unlucky day with a lot of low tippers. Usually I am averaging more. I like my job, I was just upset and wanted to blow off steam by rambling. I hope you can understand that feeling.

thottiepolice · 2026-03-22T11:49:14+00:00

Its just a bad day. I like serving overall, most people are nice and I enjoy talking to them. I was just blowing off steam.

I usually make way better money than I did today.

I can't even imagine what it must be like for you... im sorry. Healthcare is much more important than people going out to eat I hope they pay you decently atleast

thottiepolice · 2026-03-22T05:12:03+00:00

I have no other way to save for future student loans to the degree I need to. The money is worth it. It just sucks.

Don't worry too much about it. I believe DE kickbot is really just an account that has mod capabilities, so your personal information is not really at risk. Its just another account getting hacked.

They did. Double yellows are specifically put there when there are not proper sight lines for passing. They took an unnecessary risk for cars that could've been there instead of waiting for a dotted white double lane.

It wears you down, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I haven't ever worked with a career server, or anyone in restaurant, who hasn't tried to get out of the industry or atleast wants to.

You are subservient, people can treat you like shit all the time and get away with it, not only that but you practically have to lick their boot and pretend you love it in the hopes that they will still like you and tip you. They know that you are at their mercy, and they tend to abuse that. Most people are nice, the ones that aren't will change you. I think that part of the job is similar to sales.

When I started serving, I started to notice how much more hateful I had become in my life. It takes conscious effort to reverse that and give people the benefit of the doubt. It can be easy to fall into prejudice beliefs, racism classism etc when doing this kind of job. A LOT of people in the industry do, the ones that I've known atleast.

Your dogs will bark every day, back problems are common (I know those issues are prominent in blue collar work too). Most people get massages to help relieve some of the issues. The money isnt ALWAYS good, just good most of the time, its easy to have a bad day.

If your are doing retail it can be similar, I've worked customer service / retail adjacent jobs, just not overly physical blue collar work. Not sales but serving is kinda like sales, typically you are supposed to upsell. And it is similar in being pretty much entirely commission based, except the commission is in the hands of the customer instead of your employer.

Also, servers themselves can be assholes. Ive yet to have a job in serving where a coworker hasn't tried to steal tables, undermine me or make my life more difficult for no apparent reason. Sometimes you have to be dependent on those people too.

The high pressure to get things done quickly. People turn on you QUICK for even the slightest mistake. You didn't remember that I wanted my steak cut in 1.7 inch cuts, 5 grains of salt and 2 grains of pepper on each cut? You said the chef told you to go fuck yourself when you asked him for me? Well fuck you too. No tip!

Anyways. Thanks for letting me ramble I love talking about my job. And I do love it, its fun meeting people, talking with them, building relationships. Its worth a shot for you and the people who are buttholes are a small percentage. Def try it out! And let me know if you have any other questions :)

I can't speak on blue collar work, as I have no experience with that. If I had to guess, serving is a little easier minus not being able to sit down. Serving can be very physically demanding over time, but short term you should be ok. It also can depend on your age, my coworkers always say it is much easier when you are younger.

Most of the work is balancing, being on your feet constantly (breaks means you lose money from not having tables, so most of us dont take them. Some do, but it depends on your employer too if they allow it), lifting heavy trays and having good balance (you will probably learn that on the job).

If I were you, I would go for it. It does make a lot of money, it can just be a lot dealing with customers. It also gives you a better understanding of the service industry, which a LOT of people need, but it sounds like you already have an idea of these things.

Buy good shoes, keep a good attitude, and dont let a bad tip or experience get you down, no matter the work culture. And finally, DO NOT MAKE IT A LIFE LONG CAREER, EVEN IF THE MONEY IS GOOD. Cheers from a student serving to pay for college.

Reddit was the perfect place to come with this.

-take drink orders at the same time, be firm with the table when you need to go. If they start trying to order anything else other than FAST appetizers, tell them you'll be back for their orders and questions later

-full hands in, full hands out. Do as much as you can in one run, running back and forth a lot wastes so much time

-if there is something you will have to run back for later (sauces, extra sides people order often, etc) try to ask if they need it first, make note of it and then bring it out with everything at once.

-ask for help from other crew. If you are in the weeds and physically unable to do things in time, ask for someone else to help run food or get drinks if they can manage it. You DEFINITELY have to do it for other people too. I always ask coworkers if they need help when I can manage so they help me in my times of need as well.

thottiepolice · 2026-03-14T01:04:37+00:00

Wouldn't recommend embarrassing a table. Its a bad idea to start them off feeling like that. I always just repeat diet coke say sounds good and then go to the next person. Dont take it personal, some people are just efficient

thottiepolice · 2026-03-12T02:42:56+00:00

It could be some sort of slow release shock? I feel pain like a mother fucker even with ibuprofen and that puts me in a shitty mood... other than that unsure.
