The discussion topic of the day is: TIPPING.
There is nothing more disturbing then a cheap skate. It’s not classy.
As a poor college student, and a part-time waitress, I would like to take this opportunity and express my strong feelings about these sad individuals. Now, that may seem a bit harsh…but I can not find a single logical excuse for these people. You know who you are. 
Just imagine going on a date with someone new. The experience was great, conversation was flowing, the food was amazing…and then the bill came. Your date paid….and you notice that he/she totally skimped out on the tip! What does that say about them?! Yikes.
- If you can not afford to go out to dinner, and leave a decent tip….DON’T (That’s why they created fast food.)
- For those of you who don’t know- Servers make less then minimum wage. It’s about $4.60 an hour.
- If you use coupons or come in when food is discounted- Tip based on the original total before the discounts are added.
- If you do not agree with the restaurant’s policies- keep in mind that we do not own the place. Were not trying to make your visit miserable.
- If you do not like the food- See what the server does to help you out. If she is unwilling- THEN maybe consider a different amount for the tip.
- When a person says: “DON’T WORRY…I’m a great tipper!” at the beginning of the meal- Chances are their going to completely stiff me on a tip- Don’t ask..I have NO idea why.
- If you are bringing a baby- PLEASE clean up your mess, and if you can’t apologize to your waitress and tip accordingly.
- Nothing bothers me more than when I work so hard for a table, running back and forth, trying to appease their every wish…and they leave me less than 10%. THANKS.
- Keep in mind, that servers will remember the cheap skates, and will spread the word to other servers.
Be nice to your server. Their doing their best. If you see that they are not on their A GAME- Talk to the manager- Everyone has a bad day.
Please tip 15% or more.
With groups- 18% or more (It’s a lot of work).
