[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC people, I was just asking for a few things that worked for you/ your daughter, and I find myself a multipage cesspool of misogyny and vitriol. (Many of) You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

My daughter is 17. The men who have asked for her number have been customers, not colleagues, and according to her "I dunno, mid 20s?"

This is her first public facing job with adults (though she has previously done lots of kid-related work.) She's a little shy, but she's excited about getting work experience and earning money for college. I'm asking for some thoughts on ways for someone who is new to being a server to navigate a common pitfall.

Why do you have to make it so vile? Seriously. Reflect and seek help. [/quote]

A seventeen year old child should NOT be a waitress. You’re a bad mom for letting her take that job. [/quote]

I don’t think you are a bad mom, but I do agree that I would not let my teen daughter be a server. It’s the power and age differential that is too much for a teen to deal with.[/quote]

Millions of teens are doing just fine being a server starting at age 14.  Teens who are overprotected like that are anxious and overreact to everything .   She’ll be fine.   She needs to talk to the other waitresses for advice.  Otherwise she’ll learn soon enough and it’s doubtful it happens too often unless she’s in a bar for singles.  [/quote]
