  • Again this isn’t true in most places outside the US. Many places I’ve traveled the only way a server would get a tip is if they did MORE than their job required which necessitated some sort of need for it. If your job is to greet, take an order, deliver said order and refill drinks there isn’t much opprotunity to go beyond.

    Massive groups, staying late, resolving a problem the establishment created, those are times when a tip might occur but even then it really is just an extension of your job. And this is coming from someone who has worked in many high profile service jobs.


  • That is the big issue, and I get it. I never felt weird, age wasn’t an issue. But I can also see where others could be taken advantage of.

    We ended up dating for 2 years and things ended due to life logistics. Was oddly the least crazy person I ever dated and we ended up friends after. Still bump into each other once in a while when I go back home to visit family.




  • Sort of. Unless you go to a private university taxes go to the public schools to fun facilities and wages for the educators. While you may pay tuition, the overall cost of that education and the services needed for one to do research doesn’t come wholely out of your pocket.

    Now I agree you should be compensated more, as someone who tried to get published academically and has filed patents I can see why there is a split of compensation.
