Here's a "tip" for ya...if you are not already crazy, become so QUICKLY before you begin teaching, or you'll never survive.

if you really want to know the person you ae with, have the waitress spill something on them and see what their response is. If they get pissy, that how they gonna be when you are with them for a long while. How you treat others whom you do not know who are "serving" you is a direct mirror into how you will treat ppl who are close to you after a while. JMAO

Yeah I waited on tables for 20 years and I loved the job but I depended on the tips for my pay too because I didn't make crap for my salary. I don't do it anymore but I am a great tipper I know how hard they work and how little they get paid

been given that before, but it was because i wore my steelers jersey in a maryland restaurant, and the people were avid Raven's fans, they said it to my face i got what i got cause of who i rooted for in sports. WHat ignorance////

thanks montana, i will definitely keep that in mind, i am a sub right now and even some of the kids have called me weird.

I use to wait tables.. def sucked sometimes. But for the most part it was ok, esp when a group of girls came into eat. They seemed to leave the biggest tips.

I believe in tipping heavy. Although I do expect service. Servers need to be well trained because if they don't know how to serve and expect good tips, well, thats wrong. Most servers are awesome and if I'm happy I believe in 15-25 depending upon the service.

GREAT! You are off to a superb start!

BTW, just so I'm not hijacking...I've waited tables too. Great money - and it all works out in the end. Some leave pathetic tips, some overtip. Just the nature of people. You'll never convince the under-tipper to tip well - and you'll never convince the over-tipper to do less than he feels led to do.

my second job is waitressing. Some days its like fantastic and then other days your like WTH? I never ever leave under 15 %. And I've taught my kids that they are to tip the same.

Hence, my sons first date? lmao.. Their bill only came to about 20 dollars. He gave the waitress 40 bucks and told her to keep the change. I about died! I told him they would be fighting over who go to serve him the next time he came in.

I use to bartend.. and you want to talk about frustrating. College kids I know stuggle w/ cash, I did too when attending college.. but we use to have quater bottles, and the little fuccks would only tip a quater or not tip at all, all fuccking night. So we just wouldnt serve the ones who didnt tip.. it was great too see their faces when trying to buy a drink for the lady friend and we'd ignore the shiit out of them.

Jesus loves the humble man/woman..........servers

Whoot !!!

you should have that on your Tombstone:Whoot whoot!!

lol and please tip well ..

I've been a busboy, cook, waiter, and in the military.

When I was a waiter, I considered myself under contract with the customers at my table; I was their paid representative between them and the establishment. My job was to make sure they got everything they ordered exactly as they ordered it, in a timely manner, and within the capabilities of the establishment. The prep people and cooks hated me, because I demanded that they do their jobs properly. My customers never had to send anything back, because if it wasn't right, they never saw it in the first place. Consequently, I always got great tips. Now, when I dine out, if a server's performance sucks, then they get squat. If I get the proper level of service then I leave healthy tips. I have tipped 100% on certain occasions.

what would you like baby?

How about you ? LOL

WHOOT

.......I agree with this.

How about some hot fresh coffee ?? Or prehaps some fresh Lemonaide .. the cherry cobbler looked really good tonight .. I just saw the cook pull some chicken pot pies out that smelled wonderful , would you like cheese on that burger I like my cheese bubbly .. How would you like those eggs cooked , cheese and bacon and sourcream on that baked potato??
