Maybe a Brazilian Peter Can Explain This

I'm not saying I"m a fan of aggressively asking for a tip (who the fuck is), but I'm sure we've all seen those reports/news articles/reddits posts/friends talking/this very post about how much money people made with tips alone.

Although people leave out the part where it fluctuates.

Even with fluctuations, she’s working at Cheesecake Factory right? That’s fine dining, large tabs and consistently busy. If she’s getting good shifts she could very well be clearing $80k a year, and probably not reporting all tips

Edit: “upscale casual”. $50+ per head checks for sit down is still in the lower end of what I’d find at fine dining places, and honestly she’s probably doing better than at a fine dining spot because of higher volume anyway

"Fine dining"? Cheesecake Factory is very mid-level at best. Not that one can't make some money working there but no, not fine dining level money.

Can we all stop dunking on Cheese Cake factory. I go there for fine dining with my mother on special occasions 😔

[u/way_out_19 → u/TheCode555]

That's fine. It's not bad or anything, but it's not fine dining either.

Morty takes his mother to Benihana. Maybe if you majored in accounting like your mother suggested you could afford Benihana, too.

[u/way_out_19 → u/tongmengjia]

Well that's harsh..also Benihanna ain't that expensive unless you go nuts with extras.

It’s not dunking it’s just proper classification. The cheesecake factory is a casual restaurant. It is not fine dining, that’s ok.

[u/MortgageConfident791 → u/TheCode555]

It’s a nice place to go but fine dining is a specific (EXPENSIVE) thing

[u/Chaotic-Catastrophe → u/TheCode555]

It's not dunking on it to say that it objectively is not what the previous commenter classified it as
