They can't only hire good looking girls. I always see dude waiters too and they are usually reasonably attractive but didn't make me want to go gay or anything.

I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon.
if you like people and food and find a good place that isn't run by an rear end in a top hat/megalomaniac/douchebag, then yeah, serving kicks rear end. you make friends, make a shitload of money, and sometimes get free booze if the restaurant owner is cool. unfortunately, like 75% of restaurants have some major flaw that renders them miserable.

Turns out the rumors are true. Taylor Hanson’s rear end in a top hat is one big sloppy mess… at least it SOUNDS that way!

A matter of two days ago the rumored sex audio of Taylor being hosed/fisted in a bathroom (which has been floating about the internet for the past few weeks) finally found it’s way onto a public file share/host site and is taking the internet by storm. According to the rumor in recent weeks Taylor was recorded by one of his sex partners on a small mp3 recorder during sex in a bathroom.

First linked through The DataLounge the audio clip lasts a whopping five plus minutes long. Through out the audio you can clearly hear grotesque squishing, slopping and plowing sounds. The funny thing is, Taylor’s voice is crystal clear groaning and moaning in his signature style mixed with “Oh GOD” and “OH gently caress” over and over. Shocking some is the grunting from his MALE partner who talks about how nice his rear end is. The audio wraps with a variety of noises from farting, bubbling and splattering sounds, complete with Taylor panting, grunting, straining and sighing in the process of what insiders say is him prolapsing his worn out rear end in a top hat.

Sometimes you have to take what you can get

If servers make under minimum wage with their regular salary + tips the restaurant is supposed to make up the difference, but most restaurants are like "FYGM"

Every server I know is an alcoholic, with an added bonus of taking up smoking in order to make an excuse for breaks. And possibly cocaine. They're mostly nocturnal and most of their relationships are with fellow staff, causing constant drama.

Hence how they burn out so fast and the only people doing it past their twenties are down-on-their-luck, gravelly voiced women named Maud who work truck stops and Denny's.

Was I rude to ask the manager for a non retarded grocery bagger?

Now I know you politically correct liberals are gonna flip out because I "offended him," but I was in a giant rush and he bagged incredibly slow, he was trying to talk to me, and I did not want him to open up my stuff or crush it! So I requested a normal human to bag my groceries. Some liberal behind me got mad at me and started shouting. Talk about political correctness. She gave me a real bagger thankfully and I got out in time.

I used to be the General Manager of a restaurant I can assure you that they're all run by megalomaniacal rear end in a top hat douchebags. However the service industry will get you more access to both sex and drugs than just about anything else in the world you're qualified to do so I say go for it. Oh and lie on your resume. Restaurant managers are typically too hung over all day to check references.
