Wait on even just three tables in an hour where you get $12 in tips and that's $21.30 an hour in tips plus $7.50 an hour in shift pay for $28.80 total hourly pay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-56738926587336213832017-04-23T08:10:50.288-04:002017-04-23T08:10:50.288-04:00Wrong-o boy-o!

So the buck and and half suggestion, given the free refill service was used, is correct.

Thought it was over-priced and just didn't feel that welcoming and "cozy", if you will. Of course, I was comparing it to The Stage, which was top-of-the-charts on so many levels. However, I recently met a friend for lunch at the Soup & Burger and thought, "What the hell was I thinking?" It was great. Good food, reasonable prices and very pleasant staff. What's not to love?
