Last night a table came in “right” at closing - I was tempted to say we’re closed but like technically we were still open so I sat them. Then this table proceeded to take a looooong time to leave… don’t you just hate these last tables?!?! What do you do to politely ask them to leave so you can go home too?

Usually you can drop hints, like going around the room and cleaning up, placing chairs upside down, and so on. But if that doesn't get through to them there's not a lot you can do. I mean, you could politely ask them to leave if it's really late and they're just not getting it, but that's obviously a last resort.

Yeah I hate it when people just don’t get the hint! They should be more considerate when coming right at closing…

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
