Dude, you're already making your 8 an hour. Give it a rest!" $8 x 40 hours = $320 x 4 weeks = $1280 minus at least $400 in taxes = $880. I don't know how much rent is where you live but I pay $735 in Oakland, CA. That's darn cheap because I moved in over 4 years ago and I leave in a neighborhood that isn't very desirable. In San Francisco rent is a minimum $1000. You see the point I'm making. $8/hour is pitiful. Your comment surprised me coming from someone who worked for tips in the past.
