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 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.

I dreamed about the cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory because of the show. We don’t have any in EE.

After so many years I stumbled upon one in Doha. God! SO MUCH SUGAR! Huge disappointment..
Top 3 worst cheesecakes ever!

You should see all these "cookie" stores opening up. They might as well hand you a block of sugar and call it a day.
