MasterJP28 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I just worked for 12 hours with only a 30 min lunch break. 12-1 minus the break. I hate work! Super Markets suck! I wish a bank hired me already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 At least you've got a job. & you should be making good money in that time right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) At least you're not working 8 hours a day for a price lower than your state's minimum wage. 50%+ lower... Not to mention it's quite possibly the most boring thing I have ever done in my life thus far.

Not to mention it's quite possibly the most boring thing I have ever done in my life thus far. Over here at least its illegal to pay below minimum wage, don't know about the legislation in your state but it might be something to inquire into if its affecting you that much.

Kintenbo Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 At least you guys have jobs. I would have gotten one a few days ago, if it weren't for that meddling "going to college in less than a month" detail. Hopefully, I can get an on-campus job!

Joerachi Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Well I think Waiters/Waitresses are exempt from the 'Can't be paid below minimum wage' thing, since a waiter/ess' pay is sort of commission based (Like, they would get 3-4$ an hour but would get money mainly from tips). That may be a Maryland thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterJP28 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) I work at a super market and closing means cleaning the store then waxing. I do 35 hours and have morning classes before work for summer. I'm a full time student and will get my degree in a year. I finished high school at 16. I will be in school twice a week from morning to night, and days without school I will work for fall. I have had this job for almost 5 years. I get paid barely over minimum wage, I have a donation through the job which is deducted from my net pay. This sucks trust me!

I have this program thingy to go to at my college though where we go there a week earlier so we can get used to it and whatnot before classes actually start. I mean, I can totally agree with that but that just means summer leaves even earlier for me =[ So I'm starting college in about 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Recently the waiter/ress at a nearby restaurant divided the tip into two possibilities: the 15% and the 20% tip. Naturally this is a free-will/determinism trap designed to torture my mind alone. Nation, adopt this policy in order to torture ME! Or, realizing that it's a waste of time to write out the divided tip in such a way, just go with letting the customer tip as they will.

MasterJP28 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 They do that? In Fl there's non of that bullshit. You tip what you want. I give like 10-15% that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joerachi Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You should never stiff a waiter/ess. They really hate that, I should know, my mom bitches about getting stiffed once for 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stiffed once only AFAIK, and I literally didn't have cash to do otherwise. Maybe I shoulda said I'm sorry and shown her the wallet. It's POSSIBLE I had a 20 but I'm always embarrassed to ask for change for a 20... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esaka Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I Germany you don't tip, you just give them the change. If only the US was like that I wouldn't mind ditching .40$ On the other hand, it just seems right to tip, don't want to come off as a jerk Edited July 28, 2011 by 3-13Archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
