You need to work in an expensive restaurant. you will work just as hard in a dive and an expensive restaurant - but if tip is a percentage of the bill - you get more there. Being pretty and flirty helps when guys tip - really!!

"It's the first steps that count". It may be difficult @ first, but soon you'll be used to it.\nI just hope that once you've received your hard earned wages, you'd save it or spend it wisely. Learn & appreciate the value of hard work. Should you screw up at this restaurant, they may fire you; but, I'm pretty sure you'll find another job in no time. In a way, you may lose a job, but you will surely gain more work experience. So, don't lose any sleep over it. Some youngsters are happy with the little amount of money they've got now & forget that they should above all "INVEST IN EDUCATION". Education is the only investment that no one can take it away from you. \nAim high. You don't want to be a waitress or a hostess all your life, do you ?\nBest of luck.

Bartending/waitressing until you luck out and get a job that will pay the rent. \nApply for some sort of government job, City, State or Fed. After years of toiling, I'm ashamed I didnt think of that before. Good pay, great benefits, lots of holidays and you don't have to work outside of your job description. There's something for everyone. Check it out.

hot dog on a stick.  or some restaurants may hire you as a hostess...call first and ask if they have age requirements.  also, you might want to look into babysitting!

I bartend a few nights a week, after dinner and while everyone is sleeping. It's great money and it gives my husband a chance to have 1 on 1 time with our daughter like I have during the day. Also I waitressed as well, also good money, but the bartending hours were better.

Unfortunately, either an on-campus job (but usually they're binded by a union so you have little or no chance of getting the good ones), or else waitressing or retail.  Another good idea is to do temporary jobs if you have office skills, if you want hands on you can go through a temp service and do assembly for about 9 or 10 an hour.  That way you're only temporary so when it's time to go back to school, you can tell them you have to go back but will be available the next summer.

None. I'm a waitress and every restaurant gets the morons that don't know how to tip properly.

It really depends on where you live. You could go work at a restaurant, those hours are really flexible, and servers make a lot of money if it's a busy enough place. Also, yo could be a telemarketer if there is a call center near your house. And you can often schedule your hours around there. The last idea I have for you is to work at a retail sotre, one that you really like to shop at so you know the clientele and work there when you have free time.

Forget Proper! Go based on the quality of the procedure itself, and the temperment of the person that did it! \nI think there is too much put into what you are "supposed" to leave, that people in customer service, waitresses etc, forget their manners, just figure they are OWED that tip. Screw that!

You should ask your employer to see if they would provide cushioning mats for you to stand on during your shift.  Also, shoes with good support are necessary, and make sure to take breaks to stretch occasionally.

I know this sounds bad but you need to go to your local department of scoial services. You need medical assistance NOW. It may be a lot of paperwork but providing you with the appropriate medical care and support to get you well to hold a good job is what you need right now.

Research!!!   you need to make sure you could support your family while the business picks up - also - running your own business is not easy - much easier to work for someone else - but not as rewarding...   But, big BUT!   What happends if you're ill?   think of problems you might face & think of ways around them..

Apply to restaurants as a hostess...you don't have to be 18 for this normally and it gets your foot in the door so that you can later become a waitress if you choose too.\nA grocery store or other store as a cashier.\nDeliver newspapers.\nBabysit.\nOr you could volunteer somewhere you would be interested in working and eventually use the experience you have gained to apply for a job!

I am currently a server at a restaraunt chain in my hometown.  I love what I do because I get to be around people ALL day.  And not just people but different kinds of people.  I thrive off of human interaction, it defines who I am and helps me learn more about myself daily.  I also enjoy testing my will power and seeing how far I can be pushed and still keep my cool.  I like testing how much I can handle as a human being and learning from the mistakes I encounter on this journey.
