For those of us reviewing the food industry, who are on the outside of operations, I think it is important to always have a lens of what the people behind the scenes are doing. We all have to watch out for each other on both ends of the spectrum! Hi Diana,

However, this does not sway from your point. I was only in the biz for a short while. Many of my friends have worked in the food and bev. industry for years and have been stiffed. When you are waitressing all of your living expenses depend on your tips. Here in MA a waitress will earn $2.63 per hour. Now compute that poor hourly rate at a restaurant that is only busy at night. You are screwed in the morning or afternoon. Thanks Jenn for defending the ones who make money not by arguing a point but by having to continuously have to smile and please! Much LOVE!

I am not sure there really is a job description for what I do, so it was the best thing I could think of! :) I think everyone should sign up!

Usually when the food is bad, we don't go back to the restaurant, but we do tip the server before we leave. I love your job description of "professional foodie." I think I should sign up!

I love your job description of “professional foodie.” I think I should sign up!
