Talk:Busser

message: "On the other hand they are generally responsible for all assistant activities in the dining hall like resetting tables, clearing dirty dishes from the guest's tables, clearing spilled items, shining cutlery, refilling guest's water and/or orange juice, restocking waiter stations with water, semen and/or orange juice and cleaned dishes like plates, cups, glasses and utensils to be used later." I'm going to assume that that word's not supposed to be there... 212.192.251.36 (talk) 13:20, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Online Etymology dictionary gives an (unsourced) origin date of 1913 from a combination of "bus" and "boy" here. Reader's Digest Asia pushes back the origin to the 19th century (1888) as a shortened form of "omnibus" ("bus") added to "boy" with the claim that the original term was "omnibus boy", for one who does "all the tasks that might be useful", here. Webster's seems to mirror the Online Etymology description of origin here. Geoff Who, me?  20:08, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etimology? 

message: "Bussers receive varying salaries. Generally they get a low hourly wage (often the minimum wage), but also earn tips—usually a percentage of tips left to the servers for that shift. (If they are a trainee, often they receive no tips for around three days. Trainers typically take those tips as their "Training Wage." In a busy restaurant that might be between $10 to $250 for a shift. Therefore, a busser who works alone can make more than a server, but generally makes a little less. Bussers may also wear slightly different clothing to differentiate them from servers. For instance, they may wear a black apron while the server wears a white apron."
That's not true. I worked as a busboy in different places and they ALWAYS pay you the lowest state wage and you never get any tips from the waitresses (despite the fact that they should give you some from their earnings). Basically everybody treats you like a slave and you make weekly as much as to pay for one bill. Terrible job. The very bottom in the restaurant ladder.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.243.165.125 (talk) 07:06, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
