well, I see some pretty one sided views here. just for shits and grins, how many people have made $400 in a weekend off of tips?
I have
trust me, a severs job is much more than taking an order, delivering the food, and dropping off the bill. It's putting up with holier than thou schmucks who whine and complain about things a server has no control of, then having the audacity to take it out on the server (i.e. climate control, wait time, lighting...). I can't count how many times someone has run my ass off, gave me great compliments, then left the an awful excuse for a tip.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND...as much as we like to think we're special, you're not the only table a server is responsible for when you go out to eat. take a look around and you'll find that there are actually other people in there with you, and they dont' each have their own personal server.
go ahead and try to tell me that a servers job is not hard and somtimes metally excruciating with the right depraved patron.
Yeah, I know. I knew what I was getting into when I applied, but I also knew I'd be able to make good money quick, THROUGH TIPS
and if you can't understand why people should get tipped, then stay at home and cook your own filet mingon. I get paid to wrap silverware, and refill drinks...if you want your food warm, I'd tip if I were you.
