Will I be able to get a job as a waitress at places like Denny's or Shari's or Ihop?

You probably will have to start as a hostess or busser. Waiting tables can test your patiences, you can also make over $400.00 quickly in tips a week. It's alot of work and people can be real jerks at times keep that in mind. Also keep track of your tips thru out the year in case Uncle Sam decides to audit you. I've been serving for over 10 years. Good luck!
