Tipping your server at a restaurant. We all do it, but do we know how? I will share with you an experience I had on 7/17/09 while working the Friday dinner shift at the local (and favorite) restaurant where I am gratefully employed......
I was waiting on a 2 top, (a party of two) it was a woman and her female companion. The table was easy enough, no special modifications to the menu, no complaints about the food, I shared pleasant chats with the ladies. It all went well until.....(quote from guest) "Oh honey, I just have to tell you that I go out to eat all the time, and I have never had better service! You really are good! And has anyone ever told you that you look like Ashley Judd?"
Crap. The verbal tip. Dreaded by food servers around the globe. "You were lovely to wait on." I say, with the hope of being wrong about the tip. The ladies leave, and sure enough, $1.53 on a $43.47 tab.
I make $3.35 per hour, tips are my paycheck. I need them to live. But alas! I have a plan! I will simply call my electric company and tell them that my payment will be late but not to worry, because I am the best server in all the world!
Give me a break 2 top lady.

Working as a server in a "Right to Work" state, with no minimum wage, makes making a decent living really hard.
ReplyDeleteI've seen you work, and you truly are one of the best I've seen.
It's surprising how many people don't understand how important tips are to the server.
The only time I give less than 15% - 20%, is when they were really bad.
