Dining Out - December 2006

I live off of my tips as a waitress, and always get screwed. I have to tip out 3% of my sales- which can be up to $30 sometimes, and when people don't tip or tip very badly, it leaves me making under 10% of my sales for the night. I always give excellent service, and treat everyone the same and with respect... I get lot's of compliments- many are verbal.... so I just don't get it sometimes. It can ruin my entire night. I served ten 15 yr old girls tonight, did everything I could for them, had their drinks refilled on time, everything.... even got the one a free birthday dessert. They left me a total of $2 on a $102 bill. So take 3% of that 102, that means I have to tip out $3- one dollar being out of my pocket.
Then there's the people who just look like they don't tip- and most of the time, they don't. So WHY do people go out if they can't afford a decent tip? And if they can afford it, why not pay it? I'm looking to leave the serving job, I'm sick of ppl and that's not me.

I have no table manners. Where can I learn to eat like a civilized human being? YAH, I have no table manners. I hate eating in public places.

I went to a restaurant with my dad, and ordered. I was talking with my dad, and the last thing I was thinking about was the food. Without giving it a second thought (why should I,) I began eating the bread from the bread basket on the table. All the sudden, the waitress comes almost angry at me telling me the food is about to be ready. My dad even laughed telling me I shoudn't spoil my appetite.

When we left my dad was surprised I left a tip, but I always do that.

Why did she get mad I was eating the bread from the basket they put on my table?

I mean I am there to enjoy my food. The last thing I want to think about or look at is something this person is using during sex. I usually call and complain to the manager. Anyone else in the same boat?

If you don't know what it is, It is a rice with meat and vegetables served in a hot stone bowl.
