Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro

Chances are, the service will be dead. Holidays are usually a bust. Also this pretty much stems from what kind of establishment you work at.
I've served a few Thanksgivings and Christmases they are usually busy and get good tips. Most people appreciate you working the holidays.
That's been my experience working holidays. Not everyone, but a few people will be feeling the holiday spirit and tip a bit extra
usually yeah, i'd say you're right to be optimisitc about the tips. I wouldn't count on there not being drama tho lol
As always, it all depends on where you work. Some places are very lively during the holidays while others are just barren and sad. Guess you'll find out soon!
Not my first year and I absolutely despise the idea.
Personally, I think tips will be decent. Thanksgiving is a popular holiday so people will likely be spending money. Plus, you'll probably be busy so customers will appreciate your efforts.
Assuming you work in a restaurant, your tips will likely be decent. However, depending on the establishment, things can vary greatly. Some restaurants are busier than others and have a better tips-earning potential. Your best bet is to ask your boss or other employees what the norm is for your place of employment.
Working on Thanksgiving is definitely not ideal, but at least you're not dealing with the stress of the family celebration! Hopefully, the tips will be good on Thanksgiving. I've worked Thanksgiving and tips have been good!
The odds are everyone will be home for Thanksgiving dinner,with their families. it might be mostly dead. So maybe don't prep alot of FOH staff. You're gonna lose on labour.
How did it go for you? I was mad about working on Thanksgiving but the tips were huge. Hard to complain too much.
I used to serve and the holidays were always busy and fun times. People generally tip more during holidays because they appreciate you working
