Corrected entry: An old highschool classmate comes into the restaurant one day and flaunts his success. He gives Justin an insulting $100 tip and says, "You need it more than me." He is an engineer and mentions how many $Gs he's pulling per year. This is part of the epiphany which leads Justin to quit. Justin is embarrassed to be seen there as a waiter. But at a different part in the movie, Justin and Ryan Reynolds are talking about how much money they are pulling per week as waiters. If you do the math, he's actually making the same amount of money as his engineer old classmate. The writer should have had the engineer bragging about making $80k, not $40k.

Correction: It's not just about the money, it's about the self-respect. The Engineer looked down on Justin because he was a waiter. *This* is what Justin really seeks to change about his life, not just his income level.
