This is my guide to bussing tables and what I learned in the 2 weeks i worked as one before I was fired for talking back. Comments are extremely appreciated.

This is a good start to info about what it's like to work as a busboy, but - face it - it's considerably biased! Perhaps you could tone down the bits that express your point of view very strongly? Instead of just saying that it's an awful job, state things more factually. Do you get what I mean?

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking about that when I wrote it and wasnt sure if I should put it in there.

Take a careful look at your grammar - some of your verbs are a little

Thanks
Redid the servers section, just didn't like the way it sounded. Fixed as many things that seemed iffy as I could. If there's anything anyone knows about bussing that I missed tell me and I'll certainly add it and referance you.

I know that you've listed some of the jobs that a busboy does, but could you give a bit of a definition at the beginning, or even in the title? Or even the equivalent job title in the UK, if there is one. I'm from the UK, and the word means literally nothing to me.

No problem, I'll see what I can do about that, unfourtanantly I don't know the equivalent job title in the UK, if anyone does know I'd greatly appreciate the info.

I don't know if that's quite right, because we have waiters here, too.

Hopefully someone in the catering industry will come along and tell us! I can't think of a job title.

Sounds like a less well-paid version of a waiter to me.
