spaz - sevrers dont make minimum wage. they make less than that. when i was a server i made 2.13 and minimum wage was 5.35. here in illinois they just raised minimum for servers to 4.50. one of my co-workers makes less than minimum wage as a manager because they do a 90 day probationary period where they dont have to pay you minimum wage. a lot of times it feels like some people forget what it was like to work in fast food and some people are extremely rude so its hard to put on a happy face for everyone when people look down on you everyday.

you know how much it bugs me when i stick my hand right out in front of someone and they still throw their money on the counter like "youre not good enough for me to hand it to you." and when i say "have a good day" and they just walk out without a word. its really hard to keep it going when those are the people i encounter on a daily basis. or people lying about anything and everything to try and get free food. you guys are the minority when it comes to customers.

most customers are dumb and rude lol. sucks to say, but they really are. its like when they order food they just lose all ediquette and manners they learned because we're lower than them. if you guys were the majority who were nice and polite it would be a lot easier. why do you think turn over rate is so high?
