Pros
There are no pros. I guess it beats pan-handling.
Cons
This place is terrible. The food is dirt cheap, so the clientele is classless trash. It won’t matter that you can’t get the check up - because the customers don’t tip more than 10%. The food is terrible - frozen pre-made stuff right off the Sysco truck. And the kitchen staff could mess up an order of white rice with ice water. And despite all that - the sub-par beer is surprisingly expensive. If a customer foolishly orders a pitcher of beer it puts you in awkward spot of warning them how much it costs - basically telling them they can't afford it. But if you don't warn them, they will riot when they get the bill. And then they will take it out on you with a low-ball tip they should be ashamed of themselves for.

Pros
Flexible hours Great place to learn serving and bar skills
