But that is what we are talking about... even if you do your job perfect, the tip is still shit. A server bitches about it because we get 2.14 an hour, which covers social security and income tax THATS IT.
So, when we dont get a tip on a table that was there for an hour, we basically didnt get paid for an hours work. If your boss at your job didnt pay you for your work, you might get pissed about it.
Some people are assholes and honestly don't care about the waiter. I'm not saying it's right. Not everyone who dresses like thugs are from the "ghetto" tip badly. Just like not everyone who smiles to your face and treats you with respect give you a good tip. Those that usually do understand your situation in some way and are good people. I've had terrible waiters(HOSTS) and excellect ones.
The worst tip I've ever given was 1 cent just to piss her off. She may have brought my tables food and was all smiles and giggles but the entire time we were there she kept asking us if we were ready to order as soon as the menu touched our hands, she tried to rush us to eat, she even tried to rush us out the door and we werent rude or "ghetto"...you saying she deserved a decent tip?
I tend to overtip...to those who earn it. Them making little an hour has nothing to do with the negative vibe they may send me while im there.
From that several experiences ive had with waiters*HOSTS* ive never said "ALL waiter are rude assholes who dont deserve tips" like this guy just did with "those who dress thug like" and or black*i may have read into it but i dont think i did*
