Sometimes you don't know what you are getting into

I've now have lived in Booneville for about a week and I haven't made any friends yet. That's cool because it's hard to open up to a bunch of strangers. They may forget that they only have to learn one name and i have to learn 100. I've worked two shifts now and found out that the server minimum wage in MO is $3.25 an hour compared to Alabama where it's the federal minimum of 2.13. I worked an 8 hour shift on Sunday and saw not a single church pamphlet on any table compared to one pamphlet on every three tables in Alabama. I've made 25% of my sales compared to 17% in Alabama. I've been tipped on half of the to-go orders compared to 5% of to-go orders in Alabama. Alas I miss my friends in Alabama.

I thought this article I found was particularly interesting if anyone wants to take a look:
