i used to wait tables when i was 15 and i would always try to satisfy my customers. I did this mainly because i needed the tip money to help buy my first car. then in my last few jobs i worked for taco tico and taco bell. when i worked there many of my regular customers would tip me cuz they felt sorry for me, i didnt mind though. but my policy is since i know what good service is and understand how the server feels, i try to tip them according to how much attention they pay to me and whomever i am with. Also i take into factor how often my drink is refilled, dishes cleared away, how fast i get my salad and how friendly they are, but they get docked for asking me questions when i just took a large mouthful of food. anyways i usually at least tip a dollar unless they really make me mad
This one time i was at the olive garden and the waitress went to cash us out and came back and handed me $3 and no change, i asked for the change because i always save my change (force of habit) and she got all rude about me wanting the change, she said well i just thought that was my tip and i was like no im a poor college student and i save my change, then she said that she was too and she had a kid to support while being in school, trying to lay a guilt trip on me. all i could think was you stu[id girl you shouldnt have gotten knocked up cuz then you wouldnt have to take money even if its change from people. You know the sad thing is i was gonna give her a dollar but she took my .67 and that just pissed me off so she didnt get a tip. gosh some people, sorry i had to rant
