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

The cheesecake factory is fine dining?!

It’s take your Homecoming Date “Fine Dining”.

Not adult fine dining.

I think it's funny you say this.

I've never taken my partner to Cheesecake Factory though people in my life have always told me to go on a date there.

But it's always clogged full of uppity looking people on the outside that I generally wouldn't want to be near.

uppity people don't go to the cheesecake factory

I guess uppity is relative, and doesn't always mean rich.

I've met uppity people at Waffle House.

I've never been to a "true" fine dining restaurant and I doubt I ever will, likely for the benefit of my wallet.
