The bid-ask spread works to the advantage of the market maker. Continuing with the above example, a market maker who is quoting a price of $10.50 / $10.55 for security A is indicating a willingness to buy A at $10.50 (the bid price) and sell it at $10.55 (the asked price). The spread represents the market maker's profit.

You are only paid $2 an hour flat rate, even if you are not serving. 2. Side Work. The great cheat. They make you do restaurant prep work for that $2 an hour, a couple hours of it a day. I did about 3 hours of side work and an hour and a half of waitressing. 3. I had a 5% tip out - it was paid to the kitchen staff, busboy, and dishwasher. That was 5% of my sales, not my tips. If someone didn't leave a tip, that came out of my pocket. Frankly, I made more money and was FAR better paid, working at a Mom & Pop coffee shop, as a barista.
