It’s underpaid, undervalued, strenuous, and sometimes hazardous labor. Go to restaurants that pay their kitchen staff fair wages and ideally also do tip sharing with the kitchen

do restaurants typically advertise whether they’re doing tip sharing, or is it just a word of mouth thing?

theclack I don’t think it’s something that’s typically advertised so I would say to look restaurants up on employment sites like Glassdoor because people will talk about it there, or on Reddit. but another alternative would be to go to restaurants with tips and a counter service model without servers which are becoming more common now

something everything should do just once (if you don't enjoy it, just once is enough). you come to terms quickly with how humans treat one another. you don't matter as much as you think you do and come to understand that some work is just work. you might even get a chance to sort out your own hangups and internal thought patterns. you surrender to running around like an idiot sooner than you realize. the adrenaline pushes your limits in ways that are both funny and exhausting.you learn the value of a hard-earned fucking dollar/pound. no one really cares if you have this degree or that degree. there's someone there trying to feed their whole damn family off the check you're using to fund like studio time or catch a flight somewhere. I'm speaking to my experience in the UK where there are no gigantic gorgeous tips to be anticipated at the time of payment...just a service charge that people can just decided not to pay and you'd be surprise how many folks take it off. all this alone is humbling.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
