Dude, I ate so much food today. I have the ability to open up the breadstick drawer and take as much as I want. I worked 8 1/2 hours today, but I actually had a pretty good time.

i've noticed that most of the OG hostesses and majority of the waitresses are HAWT and YOUNG

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 there

Its good money too, congrats man.

**bluefields88** · 01-17-2008, 08:04 PM

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.

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.

I wait around to see the reaction when they see it, most of them get pissed, but once one of them got all smart with me and put in my phone number as the dollar amount. I'm still recovering

Congrats and good luck with the job

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

Min. wage is 8 bucks now?

Oh and about the tips and taxes...my girl use to work at Cattlemens and her ass got audited a few years ago. Actually the restaurant got audited but the IRS decided to audit all the employees also. She said you have to claim at least around 11% of your total sales as taxable tips...otherwise The Man will start gazing your way

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

But then again, cost of living is probably way higher over there, and it doesn't really apply to me because my last job paid $8.50/hr

**bluefields88** · 01-17-2008, 09:05 PM

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.

**bluefields88** · 01-17-2008, 10:01 PM

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!

**bluefields88** · 01-17-2008, 10:26 PM

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!
