[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's worth pointing out that you don't START as a waiter making $120k.  It's a profession that requires skill, personality, stamina and seniority to make the big bucks.  In my restaurant, almost everyone worked in the kitchen first, graduated to bussing tables, then started on lunch shifts and weekday dinner shifts.   You usually didn't get to work weekend dinners until you'd been there awhile.  [/quote]

Skill? You are only required to be really good looking at the high end places. Oh and have the ability to memorize the menu and drink recommendations. [/quote]
Waiting tables is absolutely a skill. As a person who is both clumsy and forgetful, it was never something I could do, so I worked at camps and regular retail instead in my teens and early 20s while my friends were servers.[/quote]

Oh gd yes. I used to wait tables and I was awful at it. I was clumsy, forgetful, disorganized - I found it really hard to get all the things right that you need to do, to make your job look easy. Luckily I like to talk to people - briefly, one on one like that; introvert otherwise - so I had SOME moments that weren't the worst. But I think it is a hard job - physically and mentally. And would never begrudge someone earning a decent living doing it.
