I've been ragging on these guys for bitching about their tips, but I am pretty sure there is a lot of skill required. Having the skill to take people's [censored] with a smile is a skill that very few people posses.

What % of tables actually cause the waiter grief in the sense they have to take the people's [censored]? I eat out way too much, and I can not remember the last time I saw anyone being out of line with a waiter. If your food is messed up and you want it fixed is that "putting up with people's [censored]?"

Most all jobs have a component of "putting up with people's [censored]" be it customers or co-workers. I really dont agree with this being a special skill of a waiter/waitress.

My main point on this being a low skilled job, is that almost anyone can do it without 4 years of university like many other jobs that dont pay as much.
