I need answers!!! If you had to pick one, what would it be?

I heard waiters make good cash

I would probably pick retail, unless the salary difference is significant.

Waiter. They make more money.

Waiter.

Waiter, but I'd always be afraid of dropping a meal

first one tipps and sometimes you meet great people(for a nice conversation/bar/cafe), a lot of over-work is a giant minus for a student
a seller definitely has less stress and fixed working time

I'd rather work in retail, I ain't here for rude customers and in Italy there is no such thing as tipping.

Retail, waiters have to touch dirty plates.

Retail and waitering are both ****** side jobs Out of the two I guess would go with retail but only at a good store.

If you have to get a side job and you don't mind bodily fluids, try and get in as a locum support worker at a hospital. There's more money in it and you get to choose when you work. I earn around $270 a shift over the weekend periods and a lot more on holidays.

OMG IKR?!

"Hello, here is your pla!!!! *drops it on top of the girl's head*

Retail associates dont get tips and retail jobs can go slower.. waiters make the fast cash and the job goes faster but its exhausting and you have to deal with rude/ungrateful people... i could never be a waiter.. im a barista right now and i hate serving people

In both cases it depends in which exactly places (and a lot of other factors).

I would rather work in retail (which I do). People complain about food more than anything so no

I'm a waiter, and I make 3 times more money than a retail associate

I would never do either.

But if I was forced, I'd choose retail because the environment seems more sociable for workers.

I'm a server at a really busy restaurant & I average about 150 A day. Sometimes over 200 on a really really busy day. The highest amount of tips I've ever left with on a good day was about 320. So, Yeah ! This job has given me the freedom to do so much at my age. All while still going to college.

How do you make THAT much?
Does your place have expensive prices?
My goal is $100 per night

The economy here (washington state) Is boooming!!!!!!!!

How much in sales do you average out a day?

Mine are usually between 800-1400

I always make over percentage

But,gerl! I hear servers in LA make over 300 a day.

Id make more tips if i didn't have to tip out the house. Our plates range from 15-30

OMG
