the service industry is like that. You either get fired or find a new place within 2 years. it is just how it works. I think people just develop an attitude from the mundane work and you just start to be a problem employe at least how management sees it. You are no longer willing to accept paying for mistakes, not being paid for overtime, never getting a lunch break.,,
Unless you are working at a restaurant were you need a certain skill set and knowledge which would be those 5 star places were you can make a living, getting fired is just common place in that industry. |

Yeah, it's common to get fired from that industry if you suck at working. Or any industry. |

Its just really common. The turn over rate is ridiculous. The whole system runs on having new people, ing them over and then getting rid of them. That is the north american model for the service industry. You will not find a single waiter that has worked at restaurant say otherwise. The only exception would be the sort of restaurants were entering an order is not enough and you would be considered a skilled worker in some regards.
There is also this social aspect to waitering were you have to be friends with people. You have to hang out with people from work. You could be the worst waiter in the world but if you are friends with everyone, you will keep your job. if you show up on time every day, but insist on being paid overtime, you will find yourself with less hours. |

well usually people working there like to drink and fornicate. It takes a certain sort of slacker to apply for those jobs in the first place. |

| its usually something one does in the summer between school years. But there are those that for some reason have to do it to survive and it is rather ugly what they have to deal with. Someone has to do it and to be honest, being a real estate agent is not really much more difficult than being a waiter. The only difference is your ability to bull. |

lol you really think you invented that ? That technique has been around for centuries. Has been in print since at least the 50s
jesus.
I swear you think you are in your own movie. You do have to ask yourself how a shaker in the biz like yourself manages to find time to post on TA during the day when you would think the nature of your job would prevent you from doing so. |
