At some point in your life, you should spend some time waiting tables. Everyone should.
If they did, we might get fewer sanctimonious notes like this one:
The tone just bugs me. In case you can't read it, the note says:
Waitressing 101
Don't tell every customer you're very busy to excuse your lack of serving skills. Your job is to attend to us, not make us feel like we're an inconvenience. A little bit of personal attention goes a long way in the form of a tip. Just my two cents.
* * * * *
And they leave two pennies for their "trouble." I busted my hump as a server in college. Yeah, yeah, the customer is always right. Yet most of the time, it was the customer who was being jerky.
Like that table full of sorority girls who shorted me on a $200+ tab or the family that ordered $45 in food and left a pile of mess and an 85-cent tip.
Just like the person who penned this condecending note.
Servers out there...your thoughts? And restaurant goers, what's your philosophy behind the art of the tip?
