Hey there. I was a full-time student, part-time server for 4.5 years before I graduated (I too served at Olive Garden). I live in Georgia where the wages are also peanuts. It is definitely doable and a smart situation to be in because like you said--you can make sufficient money in less time than other jobs--time that you can allocate to studies. It is mentally taxing, but you got this.
I kinda of feel your pain, Im a back line cook at olive Graden. I see and hear how you servers are treated. I have seen servers in tears before, some guests will skip out on paying their bill. Hopefully you have good managers to work with, the mangers at my store are so so. Keep up the good fight, of school and work!
Yea in az we get 11.35$ plus tips so all the taxes get paid automatically from hourly atleast where I work. And then you still have some left over on your biweekly checks
The reason why you may owe taxes, as a server, is bc of your cash tips. Your cash tips are not getting taxed. By claiming your tips, you're acknowledging (i.e.: notifying the IRS) that you've received money (for a service) that hasn't been taxed. How much you make throughout the year determines how much in taxes you have to pay. If you overpaid, you get a refund. If you didn't pay enough, you owe.
California is insanely expensive tho compared to the other states. An average meal here in North Carolina is $13 per dish and I bet in California it’s $20

yes girl depending on the laws of your state as a server i live in Mn servers get paid 10.50 hrs plus tips.
New server here, I don't get why servers would have to pay more for taxes vs get a tax refund - can you elaborate??

If you worked California you would get tips plues. $16 bucks a hour but again taxes here are very high but you would still make a lot more here

Why do you do all those gestures with your hands while you're talking? That's kind of annoying.
