Did you forget the sarc tag, just askin?

Sarc tag?

Are you paid $60 an hour to do menial labor? It would not suprise me that even with a $138 bill, this waitress only spent 5 minutes from beginning to end on this table. A dollar a minute seems pretty fair to me.

Do you not dine out often? I’ve never been a waiter, but know that they do spend a fair amount of time at each table (especially when the tab runs to $138).

Let’s say the average per person is $20, that’s still 7 people. That’s 7 orders, drinks/appetizers/entree/dessert; checking glasses to see they’re full or need to be refilled. They have to greet the guests, recite the day’s specials, make dessert recommendations, etc. I’m sure it adds up to more than 5 minutes.

Waiters/waitresses are paid less than minimum wage, IIRC around $3/hour. So you’d allow them $8/hour? This girl was foolish to post at Facebook as she did, but there are customers out there, among whom I hope you are not included, who do deserve to be told how to treat those who do “menial labor.’

It's apparent from that statement that you've NEVER been a server! With a bill that high, it took more than 5 minutes just to get their order!
