I work in a bar/pub type establishment as a waiter. On Saturday night was the Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte fight, and so the place was absolutely packed, people taking up literally every seat and most of the floor room to stand in. I worked from 4pm- 10pm, with no break(as is standard in a 6 hour shift and I'm not complaining about that part). It was absolutely crazy, we were all rushing around, I was sweaty and so exhausted I thought I was gonna cry at one point lol. Anyway so the next day my manager told us that we made over £5400 in sales that night, mainly alcohol but food too. There were 7 of us working that night- 3 bartenders, 2 waiters, 2 kitchen staff, and together we generated literally £5400 in sales in less than a day.
My earnings for that whole evening was £40. I earn minimum wage, which is robbery enough, and because I'm 18, this ofc means I am less deserving of money so its well below the living wage.
£40 earnt while the business earns £5400 is fucking ridiculous. I took home 0.7% of what I produced for the company, which in my eyes is so fucked, sorry for the rant.
