HONEY, I'm a server, not a servant. There is a difference. I serve people food and drinks, I'm not a submissive doormat.

If you'll go back and read all my comments you'll see that I never referred to you as a servant or implied that you should be treated as one.

As someone who has been both a server and restaurant manager I said that the tips should be earned.

I simply don't subscribe to your theory that I should tip someone well when I get poor service. I don't think that a servers personal situation (single mother) or financial situation (makes $2.13 an hour) should have any bearing on how much I tip them. I tip solely on the merits of the service they provide though I do take into consideration valid extenuating circumstances.

Personally, I enjoyed waitressing and I was very good at it. I know what it takes to be a good server and I know what the excuses are of the crappy ones. I tip accordingly.

WOW, I've left tips for over $200.00 While entertaining a large group for less than 45 min in the restaurant, but with that attitude $0.00.

Think about it, great SERVICE = GREAT BIG tip, I'm not here to serve you = no tip.

Career Change?
