Answer 1

Job Title: Delivery
Location: Alamogordo,
Submitted on: 29-Jun-04

Job Title Salary Survey
Delivery $5.40 an hour with raises few and far between. 75 cents per delivery with an extra 55 cents for out of town deliveries. And of course where we really make our money. TIPS. I average around 11 dollars an hour but on a good night I have made as much as 75 dollars over and above my hourly. 8 - 10 hr. shift.

"worst job ever.....Dennys server/waiter"


I" was 20 years old and working a pleasant job as a medical assistant that didn't pay well, and I could barely pay my rent. My room-mate suggested I apply at Dennys, where she worked as a bartender. I had never waited tables, but she said it didn't matter since Dennys would "hire anyone".
I got hired as a server to work 3 nights a week 6pm till 2am. It was total slave labor. Besides waiting tables, we had to make the salads and desserts, pour our own drinks, keep the prep areas spotless, and assorted other sidework, such as rolling 100 napkin/silverware sets per shift. You had to do this all in your alloted 8 hours, since no overtime was allowed. The first couple of hours of my shift, the customers were senior citizens, who complained about the food quality and left me quarters for tips. The next couple of hours were teenagers, who would drink endless cups of coffee, spiked with 5 or 6 creamers and a couple of sugar packets. We servers kept re-filling their coffee cups and bringing them more cream for hours, and we might get a dollar tip per table. After about 11pm, the bar-hoppers and clubbers started coming in. There were usually big groups of them. Guys trying to impress the girls they had picked up by being rude to their server, and ordering tons of greasy food. After being prompted by their new girlfriends, they would usually leave a decent tip.
The worst part of the job was management. They wouldn't allow me to come in my street clothes and change into my uniform, lest I be tempted to smuggle out a steak or something. One night, a group of African-American clubbers came in at about 1am. My manager told me to go and ask them to pay first (as in, after they ordered, but before they got their food). At first I refused, but he threatened to fire me, and in my young and dumb (and poor) situation, I went ahead and did what he asked me to. Of course, I got blamed for being a racist, and I ran my butt of for that able for no tip. Not that I could blame them.
The moral of the story is, when you eat at Dennys, tip WELL. Believe me, those servers deserve it! "

Yeah im gunna go with trash collector. Can you beleive it makes the most money? i hoped this helped. :]

Answer 2

Pizza delivery because you can earn tips and get left alone most of the time. I was a server at Dennys for a year when I was a teenage and people are so needy! They act like the world is going to end if they don't get some mustard right this second! So definitely pizza delivery because I'd only be in contact with the people for a minute or so.

Answer 3

Pizza Delivery Driver

Answer 4

I'd be a waittress at Denny's. I've worked fast food before and at least I'd get tips. Trash collector...couldn't take the smell. Pizza delivery driver....too many horror murder stories.

Answer 5

This probably seems stupid and artificial but, You will move on.. Im promise. Last year my brother passed away, at the same time i was failing 5 classes.. My grandma was very very sick, and my dad lost his job. This is no lie. But as time moves along so will you, you may never forget about the dog or the girl, but you can't let these things keep you from not living your life. Your entitled to a good life, we all are, so please make the best of it. and your not the only one to question god, I asked god why most of all he had to take my brother... and people kept telling me he had his reasons, and to this day I have yet to figure out what they were. But I do know that the people you love, Would not want you to be so miserable. My advice to you is just try so hard, with an open mind, Try to move along (of course without forgetting about your past). It's the best thing for you to do right now.

Answer 6

Not only is the trash collector's pay so far superior to the other two selections pay, that it is not even comparable, the grudging respect afforded the trash collector is orders of magnitude greater than the other two selections.

Answer 7

James W,
I would pick server at Denny's, mainly because it's inside and you would always be confortable, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I hate working in the elements. You would also be able to meet alot of different people, which could bring some brighter moments to your day. If you are really miserable in your life meeting new people each day could help.
