I do I do....full timers choose it ......they complain but they choose to live here and they wouldn't leave if momma made them. I've watched for years waiters and bussers and service staff say: need to move on get some cash and get a life......most of them are still in it....good waiter down here makes.....45k a year or more depending on what's reported and who they work for...I can think of a few people that did really well being waitstaff and bought on 30a, waiters! Now, granted that time has passed but take a look at some of the staff round here and see how long they have been there! Easy work schedule, days off, great working atmospheres! If I was going to blame some of the problems on someone, I'd say it was the landlords of the shops themselves. commercial rent around here is astronomical. how is a business owner going to pay top wages and make an income and pay 65/ft? and we are seasonal still! If we had a year round consistant crowd maybe..look at how someone like B and A's has to cut staff or any store or service oriented place/job...Seaside loses like 50 employee's a season. no wonder we see so many transient workers...it's not that bad really, look at all the successful jumps waiters made to real estate, I see many that are doing very well.......hmmm, couple of weeks in class, take a job for remax and boom cash money.....well maybe not that easy! I'm a normal guy, married, one kid live in Sowal and am fairing ok.....no education to speak of, not overly connected, just came down and went to work. It's not my first tourist town to live in and this problem is pretty much the norm! you won't see alot of affordable housing cause the county has to balance the issues that come along with it.....schools, police, crime,abuse etc....with the service staff you bring in its darker side. and we are all so bright and shiny people! oh we could go on and on about this!
