salary as a waiter/waitress is different between the states and uk compare to malaysia. in uk n us u depend a lot on tips and service charge.usually the basic salary is very low.like 50 2 60 pound a week,i heard that the states dont even have basic.only tips. service charge and tips depend on the business and the surrounding of the area.if the area your working is poor people the give less tips. and poor business means low service charge too.but less stress. if wanna earn big bucks.go to city restaurant.but all staff very stress and bad tempered one.they will even fight infront of customer. i nearly fight with this bloody sarawakian. they even persuade you to go betting and even take marijuana.i am i good boy so i dont follow them.they will talk behind you to the boss too.waiter job also got politic one.and you better dont de zui the chef or you wont stay for long. now why do i talk about all this stuff? :?

That's a lot considering, lodging and food are free.
