I am assuming we are suppossed to infer that you are the exception to the stereotype rule? Why weren't you working at better places than these glorious establishments? Lazy, or you can't?
Hmm, I started out in high school bagging groceries because thats where my friends worked. I made about $110 a week. A friends girlfriend worked at Denny's as I mentioned in this thread. Once I saw she could make 1/3rd my paycheck in one shift, I put my two weeks notice in. I worked at Dennys for about 2 months, before I got sick of the people(both employees and guests), and decided to upgrade. Thats when I started at Olive Garden. I made more money, and liked the place. About 6-7 months in, I quit due to a change in management. I then went to Apple Bees. I made more money there, and had fun. I did that for about 2 years(yes, laziness, but making $50-70 a night for someone in high school/college isn't bad). My grandparents then talked me into applying at a local steak and seafood place that was their favorite restaurant. It was about a $30 a plate restaurant. Add in some drinks(wine of cocktails), and the bills could get pretty high. That place had a lot of business people, doctors, lawyers, etc. I could make about $150 a night if we were busy. I did that for about 3 years through college until I graduated and got a real job.
