23. After being laid off from my job in Miami, before moving to Atlanta,

I helped out an ex-boyfriend who had a restaurant in Miami. His night waitress quit and he needed help, so dumb little me helped him out. I had never in my life worked as a waitress, and after a few weeks of doing it, I never would want that as a career. I cannot understand how servers put up with that shit. To run your butt off for a few cents in tips is ridiculous.
