$7/hour, tips if you are lucky. This is not a country with a tipping culture. In addition to that the businesses automatically tack on a "service" charge of around 10%. That ends up in a pool with the owner keeping the lion's share of it and occasionally divvying it up among ALL the staff evenly, which lead to hohum to "it sucks" service by the staff because it doesn't matter how attentive they are, they are going to have to give up part of their tips to the freeloaders. Most pay monthly. That way they are able to keep the staff for at least a month.

i understand what u mean.
Also for me working as waiter or bartender is not a real job. I would like working as waiter only to understand how the SG life is.
i'd work only for few months, just the time to understand if i could live in this city or not.
Probably is better if i save some money in my country and then i come to sg as tourist

Its okay having dreams, bringing them to reality is a little different, what makes you think Singapore will let you work here?andreasitaly wrote:i understand what u mean.
