YEAH GO AND STUDY BRO
WASTE YOUR LIFE STUDYING ENGINEERING TO MAKE 13 BUCKS AN HOUR
>>60511400 (OP)I've never heard of a waiter making anything like that kind of money. Maybe in like NYC or something, idk. But not around me. Hot bartenders at trendy bars can make like $75k maybe.
>>60511400 (OP)>>waiters make 150k a year easily on tipssource? I'm a thirdworlder that barely makes 15k and the FOMO is killing me
>>60511400 (OP)is it even possible to live nowadays with 150k in cash undeclared income and no official income to pay rent etc?
>>60511422i gave a waiter $6 for 20 minutes at a restaurant. if she has 4 tables and treats it like a full time job, and everyone is a tipcuck like me, then she makes 150k/year tax free
>>60511550yes yes very nice theres just 1 tiny problem with that
>>60511550Most waiters and bartenders don't work full-time hours so that the business doesn't have to give them benefits. They also tend to really enjoy not having to work 40 hours a week.
Also the hottest bartenders get wifed up pretty quickly
>>60511550how busy do you think a restaurant is outside of lunch and dinner time?
>>60511558That nice nuclear family pictured not tipping would be incredibly based
>>60511707>how busy do you think a restaurant is outside of lunch and dinner time?>>60511550 thinks waiters are doing 12 tables/hr, 8hr/day nonstop.
>>60511717I had a "girlfriend" in uni who waited tables in a Heidelberg tourist bar. She got 400 yurrós in tips per evening, but had to share half of it with the kitchen. She was a 10/10, no excuses. T'was 20 years ago.
I met some skank at the casino who just got off work at some shit hole irish bar and she made $450 in one night
In most US states, the minimum wage for tipped workers is much lower than standard minimum wage.
>>60511817why doesnt walmart and mcdonalds just classify their workers as "tipped"?
>>60511817In addition, in most big cities tips are paid almost exclusively on the card or through apps, so taxes are paid.
>Trump said no more tax on tipsOnly the federal income tax. State income tax, social security, state disability and medicaid taxes are still paid. Only a small portion of the tax is gone (when it passes)
>>60511827The state usually has a set list of "traditionally tipped jobs", and mcdonalds and walmart retail work are not included.
>>60511817if a tipped employee in IL makes under $15/hour with tips the employer has to make up their pay to $15/hour. it's like this in every state. when i waited tables in NJ i "made $2.83/hour" but my bare minimum pay averaged over 2 weeks would have been a minimum of $9/hour or whatever state minimum wage was at the time.
>>60511882probably not or they would just fire your ass. at least in nj it's 'averaged over a 2 week pay period.'
>>60511423in TX the range I was paid working from dogshit spots to fine dining was 15k - 25k. Sometimes more if an especially wealthy party was given to me and happened to tip well. Or when you work wedding events it can be well worth the work and care. But the only time I ever got consistently above 20k a year was working my toes off doing high volume spots. But I also spent more on self-care because I was working 80 hour weeks during the busy quarter. Find a well established popular chain, preferably not one of the mainstream ones- and you can make a few extra thousand with the same level of service you're probably giving now.
>>60511947This was pre-covid, mind you. I moved to flooring after. If you're good with your side-work, work well with others, and are fr fr detail oriented flooring and remodeling is the easiest thing to pick up.
>>60511400 (OP)I'm sorry anon, my current project is web3ifying tips.
>>60511400 (OP)>waiters make $150k/yrno they don't.
on top of that their livelihood is in the hands of whatever manager is doing their schedule.
managers also don't have a very long life span at one location so the deck is getting shuffled every couple of years so maybe it's good maybe it's not.

>>60511751I used to be a dishwasher there and that wasn’t the only thing she was sharing with half the kitchen, if you catch my drift.
I deliver pizza, here's a breakdown of what I can make depending on the night:
Pay rate is CAD $17.85 + $2.50 per ticket plus tips:
Slow Friday/Saturday - 15 tickets, $5 per ticket average tip: (17.85x6)+37.50+75 = $219.60, $36.60/hr
Busy Friday/Saturday - 22 tickets, $6 average tip: $294.10, $49/hr
PEAK Friday/Saturday (rare, only happens in summer) - 28 tickets, $7 average tip: $373.10, $62/hr
TL;DR I make decent money but not six figures
>>60511400 (OP)>waiters making 150k+>engineers making $13Lmao, where are you getting this horse shit data? I'm an engineer and make 4 times that. My friends who are waiters are literally barely scraping by and complain about constantly being treated like shit.
I'm a real engineer though. Not some code monkey jackoff.
Tipping is shit, I don’t do it. The service in America is awful compared to countries where no tip or very minimal tip is expected (most of them).
>>60514263>Seething engineer cuckOne too many “day in the life of a FAANG software engineer” videos, eh? Work harder and maybe one day bossberg will promote you.
>>60514216>I deliver pizzas>In canada we're not talking about you dude no one thinks you make 6 figures, that's a high school tier job
>>60514281Not even sure what you are getting at. I make decent money for my experience level. I'll be starting my own consultancy firm soon becaused licensed engineers can easily do that. Software "engineering" is already replaced by AI. No reason to me to be the one seething.
>>60511550I went out to eat this weekend and tipped the waitress $20 on a $20 bill because she accommodated my requests and had a fat ass.
>>60511400 (OP)hot people can make that same money begging on the streets and online, go beg for a living why on earth would you need to wear a fancy outfit for that?
>>60515137Not will, is. AI is replacing coders now.
>>60511400 (OP)I spent 1k at a restaurant to treat my friends and we normally split the tips. Why the fuck should I tip 150$ for the 1.5 hours that I spent there? The waitress pressured me to tip immediately after the bill, but I am always in control of my own money. I asked everyone at the table how they felt about tipping this bitchass uptight waitress, and everyone said 'fuck no'.
A total of about 20 dollars was put on the table that day and I never came back.
>>605142634 times 150k or 4x 13/h?
if so where the fuck can I be paid fairly like that as an engineer
>>60515188Them first. AI is like an infant at this point . The high level coders will lose their jobs too eventually when it matures. Entry levels coders are already bailing on the profession. Software engineering students are switching majors.
Can you guess what majors they are switching to? :)
Honestly I'm just being real with you. The house is burning down dude. You should be planning your exit.
>>605152134x $13/h now. Probably close to 4x 150k after I go off on my own, depending on my success obviously.
>>60515247I should clarify I'm basically entry level at this point. 4 years to licensure will go fast though.
>>60515230“AI” ain’t shit. LLMs are a huge scam to steal money from retarded VCs.
Even if Skynet took over the world tomorrow, who the hell do you think makes these models in the first place? And you think some low level cuck “engineer” will be safe in that scenario?
Face it bitchtits. Software chads won.
>>60515279I'm not saying there won't be a place for some coders, but the workforce is going to contract significantly. Sure, if you are already at the top, congratulations. But the gravy boat has sailed for mostly everyone else. The days of a fresh software engineering graduate landing 150k+ entry level jobs are gone. They will have it as hard as everyone else now.
