NJ Unemployment – Can I Leave a Server Job With No Business and Still . . . About 2 5 months ago, I took a job as a server at a small BYOB restaurant I make \$5 26 an hour and rely on tips I’m the only server on shift, but most days, no tables come in at all I go in around 3:30 and stay for 5–6 hours I don’t serve tables because there are no customers I sit or stand around for hours every day doing nothing
