I will say if someone ever wrote that on a receipt I left them I'd laugh my ass off and show my co-workers as well

And would you be surprised if you got canned because the picture spread online like wildfire?

You'd laugh, but I bet this one cried.

Hootie, come work in my town. I'd enjoy having you wait on me.

I'm totally ignorant of restaurant revenue and Bump mentioned he worked at a $1 million/month restaurant. That made me curious, so I looked up restaurant revenues and found this list from 2010. Holy cow! A couple of these places churn out 1 million meals per year (these are independent and not chains).

There were only 60 restaurants in all of the US that did $1 million/month. Obviously, most are in Vegas, NYC, Chicago, but a few were not in big cities.

I'm wondering if it would be a good hobby to want to eat at all of these places or if you just end up eating in a lot of loud restaurants.

Have you ever eaten at any of those?

I've been to Old Ebbitt Grill, Washington, D.C. That one is especially impressive to me because it is not expensive....that's some volume right there. However, the restaurant was pretty large and there was a ton of seating. I remember that place because some cougar came up and sat by me and started griping about her ex BF that she dumped. Then she proceeded to tell me all about the Department of Commerce and blah blah blah yaddah yaddah yaddah boring and I left.

I have not, I'm sorry to say. I need to get to Vegas just to check some of those restaurants out. I can't imagine what the kitchen must be like in some of those places that serve hundreds of thousands of meals per year.

Isn't Tavern on the Green closed now? Or am I thinking of another NYC iconic restaurant?

No, probably not. The waiter that posted Peyton Manning's mega tip got axed as well.

People are dumb.

Yard House in KCKS isn't top 60!?!?

I'm shocked I tell you.

If I thought I could move to Vegas and get a waiter job I'd have done it by now...I'm guessing any of them worth a damn make an easy six figures.

They do, and you'd get a job just fine. You'd go broke due to your gambling addiction though.

I heard it is SUPER competitive and new people to the area have an amazingly difficult time finding these jobs because of the fear they can't handle the "lifestyle" and they'll just up and move away out of nowhere.

Maybe you'd have to work a lower level to start like Chili's or something, but once you've been there for a year I'm sure you'd be fine. Honestly though, I don't think I'd have too, therefore I don't think you would either. Most? Sure. Dynamic personalities? **** no.

I mean, my resume speaks for itself...I've never been fired for a job, I've been at every single job for at least 3 years (up until my Dallas job), and I have amazing work references.

I just heard Vegas is TOUGH.

and I'm an absolute winning poker player...I crushed Thackerville, Oklahoma while I was in Dallas...I was 19 for 20 in winning sessions playing the EASY, FISH FILLED NL 1/2 $200 MAX game.

Problem was the 80 minute drive...hated being down $40 before I sat down (gas) and the fact I'm not the "grind" out 36 hour sessions kind of guy...if I take a SICK beat on the river I generally have to collect myself and often like to leave.

one of my winning sessions ($19 lol)...I was up around $300 and had AQ under the gun...raised it up a standard $12 and had two callers including the SB. Flop comes out A X X. I bet $15, fold, SB raises to $40. I call. Turn another X...nothing scary...SB bets $40 and I raise him immediately to $110. Dude goes all in for the rest of his stack $160 total. I call (frustratingly so, had to was committed) thinking damn...****er snapped two pair on me playing A X from the SB. Nope. Dude has A 9 off...how he thought he was good when I raised pre, bet flop (called his raise), and then reraised him on the turn I DO NOT KNOW...his all-in was like a "pissed off **** you I know I'm losing but I'm not laying down my pair of aces" all-in.

Anyways...9 rivers and I lose that ****ing pot and instead of sitting there pissed off I just took my $19 profit and drove the **** home.

That was really my only frustrating session I had there. I lost about $100 one session (15+ hours of grinding) but I had been drinking (something I never do when I play poker)...and other than the $19 profit I made between $120 and $510 every other session.

My roommate is on a HUGE string of winning sessions in Peoria right now, too...like a SICK run. Went Friday-Sunday and turned a $2300 profit. Now that the poker craze is "dead" all the new kids don't know how to play anymore (like how we learned in the Moneymaker era) and all the old men are still knits or suckers.

I wish I could go to Peoria with him but I work Saturdays...plus I just hate the 80 minute drives (same drive here as it was when I was in Dallas)...

so I imagine that's what I'd do in Vegas...but I also imagine the games are a bit tougher (I've played in Vegas before, but back in my 10/20 and 20/40 limit days)...I used to LOVE casino limit. LOT OF FISH.
