The verdict
Mixed · 50Very little real resident opinion here; mostly travel vlogs praising food and scenery, so this is a thin signal near neutral.
- food
- scenery and lakes
- friendly restaurant tipping
- cold weather
- competitive restaurant shifts
- shifts depend on connections
- Restaurant server shifts can pay well through tips.
- Evening shifts earn more but are harder for newcomers.
- Ann Arbor's BBQ and coney dogs impressed visitors.
- Michigan scenery and lake drives were a highlight for travelers.
- Winter there looks cold, per one commenter.

“餐馆生意中午晚上不一样，中午快餐比较简单但是很忙，小费少，三个小时就结束了，新手一般是从中午开始做。晚班时间比中午稍长，但节奏比较慢不累，而且小费很多，不过服务相对比较复杂，新手往往应付不过来。因为小费多所以晚班的竞争比较激烈，一般老板会安排相对稳定的熟练员工做晚班，很多时间也是要看关系的，一个晚班下来200多，周末会更好。 美国商店用塑料袋和泡沫盒非常普遍，这是因为美国的一次性废塑料回收处理比较完善，这些东西基本能全部回收被处理和再利用”
