I got a job as a Waffle House server that pays $2.92 an hour and now realize why there's a labor shortage

My pay stubs have shown several different pay rates, $2.92 or $3.13, and $12. It's confusing. I think the $12 was my training rate. Either way, I was told I'll never make less than $11.50 an hour.

There's a learning curve to serving at Waffle House and its systems are a bit old fashioned – but I don't mind There's a code for everything. Orders have to be written a certain way and called out using special phrases. After working many shifts, I was still trying to figure out how to properly call orders. Once that's done, tickets are priced by hand — with a calculator. To be honest, I've always dreaded the idea of being a server. But it's grown on me. I know the names of regulars and they know mine. I like taking their orders and chatting with them.
