New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her previous waitressing experience to call out fellow Democrat and new New York City Mayor Eric Adams' recent comments on "low-skilled workers" comment. "The suggestion that any job is 'low skill' is a myth perpetuated by wealthy interests to justify inhumane working conditions, little/no healthcare, and low wages," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Wednesday. "Plus being a waitress has made me and many others *better* at our jobs than those who've never known that life." The congresswoman's remarks come in response to a statement Adams made during one of his first press conferences as

Sorry - any job you can be trained for in half an hour is low skilled.

AOC now has a better-paying job, but it requires less skill than being a waitress. It takes skill to manage multiple tables, checking back with customers just often enough, juggling serving plates, being on your feet all day and being pleasant to people at the same time. It takes no skill to just flap your yap all day. I guess she has strong thumbs from typing tweets on her phone, something most pre-teens have already mastered.

I think I met her once in a bar bathroom stall in NY. I'm not sure because I didn't see her face much.

For once I agree with AOC. But response number 3 is also dead on correct.

Being a good waitress is hard work, but being a bad one isn't all that difficult. My waitressing experience in college convinced me that I didn't want to do it as a career. Working with the public sucks.

AOC confuses low-skilled job and low IQ job...again. Unfortunately AOC suffers from low-skills and low IQ.
BTW...your fellow low-skilled waitresses called and they want their stolen tips back.

I think, correction, I know she's a total phony. This creature is the spoiled brat of a prominent architect and area where she grew up is not low rent.

I'll stack my "low skill" work credentials against AOC's or anyone, having dug ditches, run electrical lines in sewers, laid cobblestones, poured molten tar into road cracks, laid hot asphalt, cleaned beer kegs, flipped burgers, pumped gas, and who knows what else... (Be happy to compare my educational and professional credentials, too.)
She's nuts. I'm sure she has a whole staff of low skilled workers...or is she a snob for academic credentials and experience. I got news for her, too. Being a Member of Congress is a low-skill job. Anyone can do it.

AOC was, is and always will be a low-skilled person. In her current job she is not a worker, just a big-mouthed agitator keeping herself and her boyfriend living in luxury on our dime. For some people, a degree only makes them worse because they falsely believe they are worth a hoot.

#6 After working with people and the public for twenty years, I had had enough. I found a job where I worked in a room by myself. It was wonderful. No one bothered me. I could concentrate on my work without people breathing down my neck. While I don't mind talking to people, the constant interruptions while working and the demands caused by people made work life miserable. It's a shame I didn't find this job right out of college.

Reminds me that 'Poor Kids' Are Just as Bright as 'White Kids'. FJB
There are many highly skilled jobs that can't be done from home; machinist, plumber, electrician, hair stylist, nurse, doctor etc. There are also many low skilled jobs that can be done from home so the term low skilled isn't a good way to describe those that are in jobs that can't be done from home.
Low skilled is a good way to describe low paying jobs that have largely been those negatively effected by the shut downs and are those hurt the most.

She is low skill, poorly educated, numb skull. And always will be. Will she make it to the White House? Well..look at what we got right and what’s waiting in the wings.

Sorry Sweetie, but that job didn't help you be better at anything. If anything, I suspect you have jumped the pier and gotten worse. You sure don't seem like you care enough about respecting other people to offer anything but lies, falsehoods and complete propaganda to push your agenda. Tell me how waitressing and bartending helped you with that?

Cortez is in the right place work-wise. As a minority with a big mouth and small brain, democrat politics is perfect for her. She would never make it in business because of her mouthyness and dishonesty issues. She's making way more money than she is worth.

I work as a mushroom for a big box store.
We can train low skilled people but they have to be trainable.
Also it helps if they show up for work on time, work their whole shift and don't steal stuff.
When customers complain about the lack of cashiers, I invite them to apply for employment.

She had an economics degree for a top 25 school when she was a waitress. Probably a C+ student.
She's just an affirmative action idiot.

"Low skilled jobs" are exactly what most of us started our lives with. You do a low skill job to learn the basic skills of work. Then you move up to a medium skill job as you increase your education and experience, and then finally get a high skill career.
Well, that is if you have a good work ethic. Sadly, AOC, like most Demon-Rats, don't want people moving up. They want a nice uneducated peasant workforce doing low skilled jobs and depending on the government nanny state to take care of them.
That is because, outside of Hollyweird, most educated and successful high skilled people become Conservatives and Republicans.

I bet AOC is sure glad she won that contest to be a politician. Pays much better and work not so hard. All she has to do now is flap her gums.

Any job that Sandy the tip-stealing barmaid ever got hired for is definitely low skilled.

I've dug ditches, operated tractors, hauled feed bags, cleaned chicken waterers, shoveled chicken crap, and a lot of other 'low skill' jobs. Then I went to college - and drove tractors, welded and pumped gas to help pay for that, then went grad school, and pumped gas, and worked as a mechanic to pay for grad school.
I've done a bunch of different jobs - but kept learning that I didn't really want to do those forever and needed to get the education to get a better, more remunerative job.
I make sure that I tip my waitresses well, if they do a decent job. And I learn their names and try very much to be friendly, they need a bit of that in their jobs, too. They have a job that needs to be done.
And I loved watching Mike Rowe on "Dirty Jobs" and now on "How America Works" because I've done some of those jobs, and know that they have to be done or the whole country literally falls apart.
Sandy, the barmaid, probably was a rotten server. That would be why she stole from the tip jar - because she was so obnoxious, and probably lazy that she didn't earn good tips on her own merit, had to steal from others. And leftist who think that they are super smart think that they deserve to be treated better....after all, they think they are way smarter than everyone else. Eye roll.

I can see her point. Learning hot to steal tips is a great gateway to stealing from taxpayers.
