Chit Chat 3

[Teeodd28403]

I've been there a little over a year. I've basically worked in restaurants since I was 17, and all through college. Started out in the kitchen and became really good at it but the real money is bartending and waiting tables. That's why I'm hesitant to get a job in chemistry because it would be a huge pay cut. I usually make about $800-$1000 a week after taxes in 4 days.

Yeah I don't see why not. If you do use chicken I would use the boneless skinless chicken breasts. Make sure they are pretty thin though or the breading will burn. If you do not have thin ones just pound them out a little to maybe about 3/4"

wow r u serious? why doesnt everyone become a waiter then! over here waiters make nothin! i think bartenders do alrite but not great either...u have to have a good degree and stuff here to make the money thats y im countin on the success of my LEgal bar exams to make the bucks

[RC-10M]

yea im planning on go ing to collage i hope =)

[Teeodd28403]

Well isn't everything included over there? I've worked with a lady from England and one from Sweden, apparently tipping is not really a common activity over there. I know from experience, no offense but I wait on a lot of people who have either moved here or are just visiting from other countries and they don't tip well. I think its just the culture. And not everyone makes that kind of money. I work in a really popular restaurant here for tourists and locals

Wow I here ya bar exam! That's awesome I was always better at science and math. I say that but on my SAT I made basically the same score on each part. (SAT is a general test you take in secondary school that colleges look at for admission)

[Brimful-Asha]

yay!! i have boneless chicken here so i just have to go out later and buy the rest of the stuff...i live next door to an off licence so the amaretto wouldnt be a prob either

rc what does jw mean?

@teeeod i take no offence cos this isnt my country of origin and ur right about the tipin but thats cos its not worth tipin them cos the charge loads for service charge and d waiters r just sooo rude u dont want to

[RC-10M]

it means just wondering

[Brimful-Asha]

oh right ok never heard that abbreviation before

[Teeodd28403]

yeah like I said I think its included or something. They love when Americans go over there and throw extra money at them. I did pretty well in college and chose chemistry because I liked it, but I really want my own restaurant.

[RC-10M]

spyder pig, spyder pig, does whatever a spyder pig does!!!

[Teeodd28403]

[RC-10M]

me ethier iv got one more thing to do but ill be checin in so u guys can still writ to me!! =)

[Teeodd28403]

Yeah I know, but I could never open a restaurant here. We have the most restaurants and bars per person than any other place in the US. I would love to open some small little bistro type place with a blackboard at the front door with the menu on it that changes everyday depending on how I'm feeling and what I can find

[Brimful-Asha]

teeeod thats hw it is in ireland very restaurant has that here...do u not have that there no?

move back to italy and have a fusion food restaurant
or better yet move to dublin

[Teeodd28403]

No not really, some of the nicer restaurants have a menu that changes every now and again, but most have a set menu. You have to realize that I am still in the South and even though there are a lot of intelligent and refined people here, the majority of the population is just as happy going to TGI Fridays or Olive Garden and eating their food.

BTW I have to ask, one of my roomates is part Irish and she's very proud of it but I tease her all the time about Irish cuisine. Is there such a thing besides corned beef? I laugh and tell her just put all the food in a pot and boil the crap out of it thats Irish cuisine
