    QUESTION!

    Which job pays you 100$ per hour, untaxable, and requires no education?

    If you’ve answered “Write a blog,” you’re wrong: I haven’t made 10$ in six months and I finished college.

    Remember my tip project? How tips are ripoff and such? My project might be long finished (with long overdue updates), but my stories aren’t. I got at least 40 quality stories to write, such as :

    • How I got kicked out of a prestigious restaurant & barred for life.
    • How I fought with a server over 0.50$
    • How a server offered me to let him call from his cellphone (wtf?)
    • How I got my pizza (un)delivered.
    • How I ran away from a 260$ bill - before I even ate anything
    • The 100% rules

    And much more!

    But for now, let’s concentrate on the question.

    Which job pays you 100$ per hour, untaxable, and requires no education?

    .

    ..

    So, what is it?

    Server in a bar, of course!

    I was at a bar myself with some friends when one informed me his young sister was now working in a bar. She would work the busy thursday, tuesday, friday and saturday nights and live from the tips.

    And guess how much she earnt?

    Yup, 100$ per hour

    100$ FUCKING DOLLARS PER HOUR

    Untaxable. That’s like 250$ here (think I exagerate? 50% tax rates + retirement deduction (mandatory) 5% + various paycuts (mandatory) 5% and here’s what you have left. I’m actually generous: if you were an accountant earning 250$, you would probably pay in the 65-70% range, but let’s forget that for a second.

    Of course, she’s a very, very sexy girl and she wears a sexy outfit, but can we all agree 100$ per hour is fucking ridiculous? She even told me her best night (perhaps 7pm to 3am) earnt her 1,000$. Her job is pretty easy: open a beer bottle, get a 1$ tip. Make a cocktail, get a 2$ tip. Get a pitcher, make 4$ tip. It goes quickly. And let me say it again: it’s non-taxable.

    I can’t believe I am going through university to potentially make much less than her. She easily makes thousands per week. She could work for two years non-stop and basically retire on her money — at 20. Sometimes, I am sad I am not a girl with big breasts.

    Keep laughing at my “tip project”. I’m sure you appreciate working your ass off in some shitty place for 15$ an hour at best — half of it going back to the government — while she works in bar for 15 times your wages. Even if you dislike my “Tip should die” projects, can we all agree 1$ to open a beer bottle is a fucking joke? Or that the fact that if you refuse to tip, the server basically spits in your cocktail (yes, I had it done to me, meters away from me)? People are hypocrits and stupid liars. Go back to work in some shitty office for 10% of your pay and then come back bitching.

    I know not all servers make 100$ per hour. I know waiters in restaurant probably make less — probably 50-75$ from what I’ve seen — but STILL, can we all agree tipping is a joke and should die already? Hey, I had a valet, the guy who drives the ministers’ car, tell me his best tip was 100$. For driving a car two minutes. Un-freaking-believable. YES, I know tips should be declared to tax agencies, BUT WHO’S STUPID ENOUGH TO DO THAT?

    Keep em coming. This project rocks or at least rocked while it was on. Many stories upcoming.
