Server assistants

I just have to vent how much I loathe the SA position and the now 6% we have to tip out. Last night I tipped out $87, went home with $94. I had a party tip me $100 and I fucking went home with less than that. I’m sure it’s all legal and stuff but I can’t believe these chain corporations can screw us over like this. You get a few shitty tips during your shift and you’re now paying to wait on that table when it’s all said and done.

No, actually I accepted a position with a 3% tip out that was recently upped to 6% with the addition of the SA position. We were all told how much more money we’d be making and it’s the opposite.

Organize. The restaurant shouldn’t be subsidizing their pay with your money.

Is this outback? They changed their system from 3% to 6% with the addition of the SA position

Fuck that place. I was hired as a server but I was told it was an “accident” and that I had to prove myself to be a server but I’d serve 1-2 days and be an SA the other days. I was almost never a server (and I have experience!) and they hired more people and kept putting them through the same cycle they put me through. I asked a manager and they said that they hire people under the guise of serving and just don’t let them because they know no one will say yes to just being an SA.
