Well, I worked for around 12.5 hours yesterday serving. If not for 3 exceptional tippers my night would've ended in making less than minimum wage. However, three generous individuals can make or break a night/double like mine. Now, if more people believed in being even 1/4 as generous then I'd never have to worry about paying the rent on time, or keeping my cell phone one, hell even paying for my books for school out of pocket.
Take a lesson from those of us who are or have been in the industry. It isn't easy walking 10 miles a day while catering to your every need, maintaining a smile, cleaning up after your child, having 1,000 things to do that you shouldn't do, all while getting all of the important things done.
So many times people will punish me because they come in at the busiest time on the busiest night and expect to get their food in 15 minutes. Please realize, unless you're going to a fast food restaurant that things will take some time. When 30 parties have orders in ahead of you, yours doesn't take precedent. I've had people complain, the management completely comp their meal and drinks making it free, and they still don't tip. It's my opinion that some people will *****, ****, or moan to get anything they can for free with an excuse whether it's legitimate or not. To those of you like that, order pizza or go to McDonalds, please, because no one likes you. lol
