Never have, but I've known more then a few waitresses, services, bottle service girls, bartenders, that shyt seems so degrading and demeaning. Some of them get off on it though, but really they are being exploited for their sexuality.....the few dollars in tips to support a far less then 50k a year existence isn't worth it. It's one of those professions I see women get trapped into, end up like 30+ with not marketable skills without stripping or escorting, and service work. I will admit I see those small restaurant closed world environments as somewhat fascinating sometimes. It becomes these peoples entire world. The inter politics, the rumors, the scandals, backstabbing, I am aware that is every job anywhere almost, but the fact that it can be some god awful chain restaurant or gauche nightclub makes it all the more interesting.
A close friend of mine is close to 30 and a server/waiter still, he's been in it 10 years, and he lives a moderately comfortably. It's just such bullshyt work, and I emphasize with everyone who does it. I constantly debate with friends over their treatment of severs and waitresses, I tell them they have an entitlement issue, and are demanding of servers to exercise their dominance, to feel secure about themselves and their position. They say it's because they are helping the servers become better at their job lol which is of course laughable....
