Honest question : how do you think it works literally anywhere outside of Canada and the US?
We have bar and restaurants, too.
People working there have kids, mortgage.
I would even say that it’s more a “real” job than in the US.
“Real”, in the sense that, in the US, I’ve seen friends in their 40’s switching industry because they want to have kids. While for instance in France their is actual school you go to before become a waiter in the higher end places.
Those are jobs were you are well compensated and that you can expect to keep for a while ( with a promotion path )
- MuffinFlavored 4y ago> how do you think it works literally anywhere outside of Canada and the US? Being 100% honest, I was of the opinion that because of tipping in America, waiters/waitresses stand a chance to make $150-$300+ whereas in Europe, you probably make less than that.
- courgette 4y agoWhat do you mean "$150-$300", net, a day ? Yah. No. You checked for France on the statistical bureau website ( INSEE ) Average Net salary is 1558 euros / month, calculated from 196k salaries. Figures are from 2021. With that you get unemployment, retirement and healthcare. It can be considered "play money" if you are sorta careless. Not great, but you can definitely lives on that and find lodging. ( In Paris that will be a flatshare )
