Around 15.7 million people work in the restaurant and food service industry. And that's just in the United States. It's the nation’s second largest private sector employer, providing jobs to 10% of the total U.S. workforce.
Most of these workers are toiling away at eating and drinking places, while an estimated 3.2 million fill food service positions in other sectors like healthcare, accommodations, education, food-and-beverage stores, and arts, entertainment and recreation.

If everyone would do others job for a day, that would be enough to change the world.

The restaurant industry is known for having notoriously high staff turnover rates. One study from a few years back found that restaurant employees who started a job between August 2021-August 2022, lasted just 110 days (a little over three months) before they moved on.
As you might have guessed, money (or the lack thereof) plays a big role in whether a restaurant worker chooses to stay or to go. According to a survey conducted by 7 Shifts, wages are the main factor behind why restaurant employees quit their jobs. 34.6% of participants cited low pay as a reason for leaving a job or a reason for why they are planning to.
Nearly half of almost 4,000 restaurant employees polled said they earn between $11 and $15 per hour. 73% of them receive tips on top of their pay.

It took me like 10 years of living in the US before I was brave enough to try biscuits and gravy. I am so happy I don't live in the south, because if I had access to good biscuits and gravy on the regular, I would probably weigh 2,000 pounds.

I work on a train and sometimes you need real sealegs to stand upright on it and people still let their kids climp on the chairs. At least one kid used the emergency brake as a handhold with predictable results. Patent was happily oblivious on their phone.

Do you pronounce it "Lasana" or "Lasania". See, that's what the G is for. You're welcome. 🙄

It's even better when they move all those dishes to a clean table and then complain because "their" table isn't wiped down yet.

God, the day I had six tables sit down all at the same time. Go to the first one. "We haven't decided yet." Second, ditto. Third, ditto. Fourth, ditto. Fifth, ditto. Sixth, ditto. Back to the first table. "Why did you leave? We wanted to order!" Taking order. Second table: "We want to order now!"

Yep, sounds about right. I love working overnights, one time I had an upset guest demanding a supervisor and I was able to walk into the office and put my supervisor blazer on and return to the front desk as the supervisor after I had just told them that I was the only supervisor available until the hotel manager came back after 9am. Guest was not very happy with my pettiness and walked away. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Do restaurants really find rolling silverware effective for whatever they are trying to do? As a customer I can't tell you how many times I have to fight to get the utensil out from bring stuck or the silverware falls on the floor because the napkin wasn't tight? Maybe a caddy with utensils in the dining area would be a better solution
