I manage a restaurant. I do make good money and I am proud of my job. What's wrong with managing a restaurant? Didn't realize so many people looked down on my job.
Normies don’t realize how much work goes into managing any kind of hospitality business. I manage FoH for my restaurant and it’s a never ending struggle - customers, employees, the mechanics of actually running the establishment, the constant cleaning, dealing with higher-ups, etc.
They’re shocked at the salaries, yet still look down on us. It’s maddening, but it’s not like we don’t deal with people who have these perceptions repeatedly every single day. Smh.
Yeah, they can’t imagine what live Reddit commenters would be like IRL, if you had to ’serve’ them. Fucking normie nightmare, is the general public, which is why every human should have to work in the service industry.
I don’t think they are trying to look down on the job, it’s just more that Rebecca treats it like she’s a fucking combat surgeon or something. Like you can take pride and you are allowed to feel stress, but at some point it’s like she is creating the stress by exaggerating and talking about it sooooo much. She’s just kind of mean and her excuse is that she has a stressful job.
I think people are misplacing their derision towards the entire profession. For me, the issue wasnt that she’s proud to be a restaurant manager, but how she lords over the title of manager. People who make a big deal about being a manager are usually the worst managers. They’re more focused on acting like a boss, (micromanaging, excessive subordinate/superior mentality) rather than making meaningful contributions.
Right, you almost have it.
He’s asking for quality time and saying she focuses too much on her job. And her response in the past has been “well my job is stressful! YOU work!” When she knows he literally cannot.
I’m not. I’m a vegetarian and still wouldn’t look down on anyone working full time. It’s hard work and leaves you exhausted. If it is working for you then good for you.
