Where was this diner? I bartended in high-end bars in the DC area -- some of the richest counties in America -- and pulled ~50-55k. These were VIPs with bottle serivce, etc. Big nights like New Year's Eve could see me walking out with 1000 bucks or more, but that was rare. Managers pulled 80-100k, but their per hour was probably terrible since they were constantly working. > Just about anyone can work in a restaurant if they are physically capable, and unless you have a physical or mental disability, you are capable. Perhaps unwilling, lazy, or a bit of a crybaby; either way, unless you're missing a limb, you can work hard in a restaurant, construction, landscaping, and other jobs and make double (or more) the money you earn at McDonalds with the exact same skill set. Just quote PragerU directly, killer. Restaurant work is hard, and if you're making 4000 bucks a month in tips then you're hustling hard all day. Might be doable for a 19 year old, but there is no way I could do that kind of work now. > This hasn't really changed. You can still get server jobs at great restaurants and make decent money with little marketable skills. Of course the point is to not make a career out of it unless your goal is to own a restaurant one day. Bollocks. Maybe in busy joints around big cities, but if you're working at Applebee's in Nowhereville then you're going to struggle.
