idk I quit school for a while there and worked in a restaurant. started as a dishwasher, moved to prep cook, then line cook, then got a different job for way more money. that second job gave me full benefits and vacation time n poo poo it was great for a while and now I can cook and I didn't have to spend $50k on culinary school.

not a career path I really wanted to pursue though

but yeah just don't work in a lovely place I guess. gently caress the front house though. yeah count out your tips right in front of my station while complaining about how $250 isn't enough for one night.

No joke, about 25-30% of wait staff realize they aren't the center of the universe and split tips with cooks, they are cool and understand. The rest are so unaware it's unbelievable.

"Authorities say the phony Pope can be recognized by his high-top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth."

I work as a line cook/Tempura cook at a Japanese Izakaya & Sushi Bar, and to be honest it's really the best job I can have in a college town because I hate retail. Plus I get a 4% tip share, and I get a pretty generous amount per hour. In an open air kitchen. It's clean as gently caress, and everyone gets along. The owner buys me shots when he's visiting from the other location and I get bought beer every Saturday. So, I dunno maybe you guys just have terrible line cook positions IDK.
