Has anyone worked in a restaurant before? If so, is it true servers and bartenders can make like $30-$40 per hour? Or is that fake news

If you're in the USA then theoretically if you're getting a shitload of tips that could be the eqivalent after all said and done but that's not always the reality either since it is based on voluntary tips. Servers and bartenders get paid very little by the restaurant itself though. In most other places they'll make minimum wage at least where they are, but those places also don't have the same tipping culture either

food service worst jobs ive ever had fuck nooo

[chapman]

Everyone needs to experience food service or grocery store retail in my opinion. A lot of dumbass opinions would be obliterated if they were to have those life experiences.

Working the streets earns me alot of money.

If you get into food service there is a very high chance you get into drugs or alcohol. You will most likely have 2-3 fun people to work with and a lot of lazy people to deal with who make your job harder. Making people smile with your food is great and makes you feel good, but all the other bs typically makes it a hard and stress filled career. You will probably not want to do much after work as its usually really hot so you are covered in sweat and food and any other gross stuff (i slipped in grease and landed in a pond of it the other day). You will always do more work than you are paid to do. If you want more info I can shoot you a message on discord ive been in food for 5 years and know people who work high end restaurants too. If you are passionate with food and cooking and can find a good restaurant that treats you well then id say give it a try.

Is this a temporary situation or a career decision that you’re trying to make?

re: what job should i get
Trades are super hot right now, a local community college is cheap and you can get hired pretty quick, experience is valuable and will turn into a career you make real money with (where I am anyway). Plus small businesses are super flexible, and working with the boys™ beats the hell out of customer service. You can go into food service but you will only ever make money to survive with, not money to live with. Unless you go into restaurant management (usually needs bachelors) or get hired at a high class establishment it's pretty dead end and drives most people I know crazy
