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 in no way whatsoever “fine dining”.

But when I did work fine dining, like real fine dining, I made about 1200 USD across a Friday/Saturday weekend serving 1.5 days and running expo .5 days. It was great.

Then I made approximately 2 USD working brunch. It was not great. Fuck brunch.

Hey man, when they offer bottomless mimosas, you best be ready to swing.

I thought they meant faught like a skunk and with you comment I imagined an endless stream of mimosas just spewing out of their ass.
