Current Events > why does anyone work in a restaurant long-term

(+) Yeah! (+)

shit pay
shit hours
ridiculously busy and stressful

those guys do more in 4 hours than probably any office workers do in 8 tbh

Not many better options...I did it my high school and college years.

If youre really good/at the right place its easy money. If not, then get the hell out.

I worked at restaurants through college. Was a lot of fun for a while but glad to be done with that.

Because I actually enjoy cooking. Also I get pretty good pay and 50 hours/week with 2 days in a row off always which is exactly what I want

If you actually get tips, its great money. even more if it has a bar, but that comes with more bullshit that makes it not worth it for a lot of people. Especially for a young, attractive female. One of my friends was pulling a solid 200 bucks every Friday for a 6 hour shift.

like it's actually ridiculous to me how little work i do in my current office job compared to when i work fast food, and later at an upscale pizza place. at both restaurants i'd be reprimanded for standing around for more than 10 seconds. here i can browse the net for damn near half my time on the clock and no one says a fucking thing.
