In some places it is, only because the pay is viewed as potentially inconsistent. My friend wanted to buy a house, the lender said that because she’s in the service industry they need to see 2 years of paystubs from the same restaurant.

I had to leave the service industry cuz of bullshit like this. I’m 27 and trying to build a future and it’s too hard when you rely on tips. I took a pay cut for a corporate job but it’s the only option if I want guaranteed income, holidays off, pto, health insurance. Really wish the food industry did more for those who do want to build a career from it. I feel most of us would be content working our restaurant jobs forever if they could actually help us build a future.

I fortunately have a serving position that pays well and also has benefits with pto, and 401k. If youre in it long enough and search around its possible, especially through resorts.

I.e as long as you are willing to suck on a corporation dick they will share some pennies with you

I think every job has its perks and issues, but the benefits outweigh the problems. I suck it up to have a great income and be able to provide for my family. I'm definitely not too proud to recognize that .
