The waitresses' wage should be increased because they work very hard not only physically, but emotionally too.They have to stand eight hours a night because most resturants open in the evening.That means working at night is dangerous and their income make almost impossible to survive.As a result, they have to work fear and force in the restaurant.What's a hard life of waitress because many waitresses paid minimum wage and depend on tips.So to get money they have to smile all the time and be sexy.Otherwise costumers would not give good tips.No matter how bad situations create they have to pretend they don't mind.Such as: some costumers pinch their bodies and tell bad words, but the waitresses have to be quit otherwise they would not get good tips or manager would get angry.Of course, everywaitress doesn't like touching their body by costumers;however, they can't show their emotion to costumers.After work they cry and wishes not returning work.However, they have to come back for the work because they don't have any choice.As we know, they have to pay rent , food etc. This means waitresses'r working physically and emotionally they should paid at least $20 dollars an hour.According to (Hocchild 1983). One of the waitresses described her feelings on the interview, "I disliked it.I had to smile.I felt cheap.I really felt like I was selling myself, and I wasn't getting no money for it.You really are, you really are selling yourself".I think she is right because most waitresses are like this way because in our society people look down to waitresses.Moreover, waitresses don't get enough money that can support them and their families.Eventhough they have to compromise alot, they don't get good salary.
This is my draft.

Great start, Shova - when you introduce your source, be sure you give the author and title as well as that it's from the New York Times. And you want to give enough background information so that we understand the context of your quote - when you say, 'one of the waitresses,' is there a particular group you're referring to?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have made a mistake,because this quote wasn't from the New York Times, instead from the "Hoschild 1983".
ReplyDeleteOk, not a problem - remember you want to introduce your text to your reader as well as give a citation - the sandwich just the same as in the other essays, so you'd say something like, in the introduction to her book, The Managed Heart, Arlie Hoschild argues . . .
