I dont mean to be rude but sometimes it is frustrating even talking to her about the situation. And yes, when ppl ask what she does for a living, I usually lie. The sole reason I am embarassed is because I know she can do better for herself than take people's orders. Im not saying I have ever been rude to a server, because I think every person deserves respect until they prove otherwise, on an individual basis. There are many reasons that serving is a great job, but there are also many reasons it is NOT. Think of the following "what if?" statements and you'll begin to see where Im coming from. What if she hurts her leg/arm/hand and cannot work? There are no accomodating "desk jobs" and she will be let go. (and dont get into HR and discrimination, because in most cases there is never enough evidence against the company for it to hold water) What if she were to become pregnant? Most servers claim their hourly wage plus a small percentage of their tips. Therefore, if she were to go on leave, she would take less than $8000. She may as well go on welfare. What if she wants to share income with her spouse to mortgage a house, and live a comfortable lifestyle? Well, ppl say the avg. take home is around $80,000 annually. This may be true, but I know first hand that some weeks she will take home $1000 in tips, and others she will take a mere $400. I need a little more consistency than that. Finally. She is only 24, and she has the legs, shoulders, etc. of a 50 year old, and counting... so I wonder how arthritic she will be once she turns 50?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2122','bo'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> see my girlfriend is a server, and I give her a hard time sometimes, and ask her when she’s going to find a “real” job.

Men have dreams and visions of what they "can be or should have been" Women have dreams and visions of who they "are married to, who they know, who they are friends with, who they connect with". We all want the ultimate statement " I AM"......______________ For men what we do is who we are...........so if someone is a waiter.... that's who he is. Even if he was married to the President of the USA, he would still be a waiter. Male transition jobs are for the under 30 guys, because that is when the "quiet desperation" starts to sink in to our souls. My son worked 4 years as a waiter in his 20's, not his career. If a job is considered a transition job, then it is because the person has dreams and goals beyond the now, and they have the ability to delay gratification, which has been proven to be more inportant than smarts... Waiter and waitress jobs are for those who want them or for those who don't want to look for something else. Any job that puts you face to face with the public (car sales, retail sales, service industry) will open your eyes to how people are. I wish everyone had at least one year of their lives exposed to the public. Afer the year, they would never forget to say "Thank You" to the person serving them.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1046','kentsmith'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> If most men “live lives of quiet desperation” then most women lead “lives of what ever is pragmatic” What does it take for me to surrive?

Welcome to 7daybuzz. I have to follow up on your statement, "I am not ashamed of what she is doing now nor would I be ashamed if she were a waitress as I realize it takes everyone time to get started and everyone needs to find their own way." Can I safely assume that this means that eventually you would want her to something other than being a clerk (or waitressing)?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1043','Kim Sawyer'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Hi Patricia.
