For the last two weeks I have been trying to pick up shifts at the restaurant to try to make enough money to pay rent and bills. I have gotten the shifts but not the money! People in Tennessee do NOT know how to tip! 20% you cheap skates! The last two Sundays have been an exceptional waste of time. Outback now opens at noon, only on Sunday, and I really don't think our managers have figured out how to schedule the servers. All 15 to 20 of us are there at noon ready for the 10 tables that come in the restaurant! From noon-3 yesterday I had one table that tipped me THREE DOLLARS! Around 3:00 I have another table that tipped me another THREE DOLLARS! After 5:00 things finally picked up, but we close at 9:00 on Sundays so that didn't leave enough time to make a difference. After working 91/2 hours, I walked out the door with only $50. :o(
So something has GOT to change! I applied online last night for a paid internship with Enterprise Rental Car. I hear they are flexible with students and pay well. So cross your fingers!
Does anyone else have any suggestions for a good paying job that will work with my schedule?

That sucks! What about bartending?
You're right about TN and tipping. I am always giving "lessons" on how to tip. MINIMUM 20% in my book. The boys learned that lesson well growing up...
Maybe applying for a promotions position with a record label.
I just found your blog through Hoss, I am a former radio guy and was active in the country music industry, spending much time in Nashville. I've since gotten out of radio, but I know a ton of people in Nashville, including most of the heads of labels... so if I can help you in any way, let me know. Apparently you're a performer, I'd like to hear your material. Do you have a demo page?
