Why do fine dining restaurants never hire any young people as waitstaff?

Answer 1

Maybe they require experience. It's hard to have 10 years of experience when you are 19.

Answer 2

While perhaps an unfair assumption, many fine dining restaurants feel that young people cannot devote the necessary mental energy or devotion to the sort of job that a fine dining restaurant demands. their thinking may be that a person who has to depend on the money they make from the job is more devoted than someone who does it on the side while they get their diploma or degree, and can ask mommy and daddy for financial help if money gets too tight.
It isn't always fair, but it is usually the thinking in place.

Answer 3
