Today is my son’s first day at his new job, bussing tables at a local seafood restaurant. They gave him a tray to take home, so he’s been practicing. Today he worked his way up to glassware. He’s excited and nervous, and I’m thrilled he is gainfully employed.
He worked a similar gig at a small neighborhood restaurant two summers ago, but the management sucked and nobody talked to him. He hated it. This time he’s working with an old high school buddy, so I imagine it will be a lot more fun. He’s making $9/hr plus tips, which I guess is pretty good? Probably doesn’t matter to him. He just wants a positive cash flow again.
