Waitress at US-Styled Diner

One consequence of the growth of cafes and restaurants in Moscow is that it creates first-time jobs for high school and college students, especially those students from other regions. This Moscow State University engineering student comes from Western Russia and works at a 1950s-style American diner. She said most of her co-workers are students from other cities. She said she hoped to continue her studies and find work in Russia's oil and gad industry.

Moscow's food service industry still gets a bad rap, but service quality has improved significantly over the years in my view. Vika, a high school student who works at a coffee chain, is a good example of the better service. On the job only a few months, she says it can be tiring being on your feet all day, something I know from my days at a chain in NYC. The other problem she notes are the occasional drunk customers that give her extra attention.
