i've noticed that most of the OG hostesses and majority of the waitresses are HAWT and YOUNG :drool:
OH HELLS YES! So many babes at the OG! My mind was spinning today. I was introducing myself like crazy. it's the promise land!
Lucky bastard..if I had the patience to wait on people i'd work there as a second job in a heart beat. Yup...gorgeous women work thereQuote:

thanks you guys, I get paid 8 bucks an hour (minimum in Cali) and then I get tips, which get taxed. My pal Doug who works with me made 100 bucks in tips yesterday. I'm def. looking forward to the money. :)
goodluck with the new job man!!! Its no way in hell that i could wait on people... I don't have the patience, and I would end up killing the people.
better than that ricer job you were thinking of
I love it when I get a hot waitress. Normally I tip about 20% to most waiters, but when I get a peice of ass serving me, I'm much more gracious. When I get the bill, in the tip section, instead of writing in a dollar amount, I write "Here's a tip, call me:" and then my phone number.Quote:

Congrats and good luck with the job :thumbup: I would usually say don't poke your stick in the company's ant nest, but they're waitresses, they'll probably end up as porn stars anyway so give them some practice :yup:
Hope you didn't have your area code. lolQuote:

Lucky bastage, Min wage here in GA is 5.15 (i think, last time I checked).Quote:

I'm gonna actually be honest with my tips and tell them how much I make, so I shouldn't have any problems. I'm guessing tips will be 70% of my income. haha
I just started waiting tables at Applebee's tonight. I'm still in training so no tips, but $6.15/hr. After training's up, $2.43/hr but with tips.
dang, I'm stoked that our minimum is $8. $2.43 would be way low if it weren't for tips, that'll make up for it.
Olive Garden food is the shit. Fake italian food but its still fuckin awesome, and cheap as hell. Gotta love all you can eat salad and bread sticks!
actually, alot of the different meals are made in Italy, I had to watch a video on it. haha, Olive Garden has some the corniest training videos. The one on safety was hilarious. They told you what to do during a robbery. Don't stare!
My cousin works at the OG here in Decatur and my GF used to be a hostess.. Great money in waiting tables and whatnot.. I'm a waiter at a country club here in town.. Gotta love it..
i always felt that the food wasn't authentic but then again I live in New Jersey, which is basically lil italy and have an italian background. What do you mean by they are made in italy? How authentic is this stuff then?Quote:

well I have some updates. My back is sore from standing and walking around all day, and I had to work in the ally today in the kitchen. Holy Shit does it get busy! I liked it though, made time go by. My trainee told me that like, 6 girls came up to her last night and told her that I'm really cute. Seems that the ladies are digging me. :D
...don't stare...? wouldn't the point be to get a real good look at the guy?Quote:
