I've been on my regular job a few years, but I occasionally work summer jobs as a waiter or host for extra money when there are conventions or major engagements going on.
Some nights I make over $300 in tips alone, but rarely less than $150 and that's part-time.
Anyway, is it just me, or do many customers visit restaurants with attitudes? When you go out for the evening, or meet with others for lunch, isn't that supposed to be a time to relax? Why not stay home and order take out if you're that angry?
Another thing which bugs me, is that many customers assume all food service employees have no other ambitions in life, not that there is anything wrong with those who choose to be full-time waiters or waitresses.
Many of us make more money than the people we serve, or will soon make more as we are in college(such as myself), and others are working these jobs to finance their own businesses. So why do people come into restaurants with attitudes and pre-conceived stereotypes?
