I worked in a restaurant. Came in with a strong work etic and attitude. I had something to prove to myself, nevermind the money. Busser to manager in five months (not a brag really, just takes honesty and hard work). >Basically creates a strong incentive for HQ to run things hyper lean and rely on this as a backstop routinely This is EXACTLY how it works. I got paid ~35% more than anyone "below" me. I wound up learning to do jobs when we were slammed and that person didn't show up. For 6 months we were low two dishwashers, so I'd do all my manager stuff then stay till 3 cleaning dishes.
