Re: If you can't afford a 20% tip, don't go out to eat. Period
When did it become OK for servers to tell us how much we are to tip them?? When did the standard 15% (which, I think is quite good) become 20%???!?!?
Sometime around the same time when servers became table servers and stopped being waiters and waitresses. Around the same time they started introducing themselves to us like we were going to be on their Christmas card list and sometime around the same time service with a smile became service with a snarl.
Sorry. I tip for SERVICE. If it's good, you get a good tip. If it's really good, you get a really good tip. If your service sucked, suck it up and take your dime home and be happy that I didn't complain to management about you. Yeah, you THINK you did a great job -- bet you hung up that participation ribbon for pee-wee tee-ball and thought you won a prize too.
Just showing up and bringing the food to the table doesn't mean you get a star on your forehead. This is the real world. Sorry being a "food service worker" ain't all you dreamed it would be. Deal with it. Some of the people you are serving may be out of work, may have little money but if they WANT TO GO OUT TO SPEND IT ON JUST FOOD AND NOT YOUR SORRY ATTITUDE IT IS THEIR RIGHT. If they didn't -- you wouldn't have a job, you numb-skull.
