QUOTE(Anni @ Feb 17 2009, 07:01 AM) you can earn big bucks if you are lucky enough to work in a busy restaurant. In NYC, most decent restaurants are full in lunch and dinner time. Just the tips for a day should be no less than $100? Most likely its more than that. In weekend, bam imagine that. ermm... for work n travel it depends... because on the east coast sometimes u can't receive tips.. state law... those ppl get lots of tips work illegally |

QUOTE(Anni @ Feb 17 2009, 12:10 PM) NY doesn't forbidden tips. US is way different than Malaysia where service charge comes together with the bill. In US any kind of service deserves tip. Restaurant, hair cut, pedicare, taxi, you name it. errmm.. sometimes they got laws from preventing underage/non tem card/non perma workers from receiving tips... Btw did you made big bucks in Alaska? lots of so called over time, n big tips because i am such a lovable person  btw, there's no state tax in alaska!!! |

QUOTE(Anni @ Feb 17 2009, 01:11 PM) I never been to Alaska but I have the impression that Alaska is a less developed state filled with natural resources. The vampire movie "30 nights without day?" something like that just worsen my impression on Alaska. I live in a least developed state myself and it ain't fun. I don't think I would make that much even i work in the bussiest restaurant in the town. On top of that some customers are biased. errmm.. less developed yes... but their biggest city has everything u need... i loved my time there and hopefully i will go return there next month.. anyway are you in teh state now? oohh... d good old days... u can get some of my picta from my blog.. d post from last year |
