And this is not race specific, black waiters and waitresses refer to them by the same name.

I have never heard of the NTN thing either?
I had always heard canadians.
Servers don't care about race, only money. My experience was that Black people tipped worse than most people.
Although, my two biggest tips ever were by black people.
Taught me not to judge a book by its cover anymore.
I learned it wasn't about color, but couth.
If they were ghetto, I knew in 5 seconds I was screwed. If they were trailer trash, I knew the same.
Just wondering what other people refered to stereotypically bad tippers.

Julianna,
I didn't connect trailer trash or ghetto with any particular color.
That was you assuming that's what I meant.

Honey, I know you may not realize this so I'll just tell you. Yes the whole Canadian and British lingo is correct but your reference to Ghetto and Trailer Trash is not. All colors are in the Ghetto and all colors live in Trailers and Trailer Parks. In fact, a TP is often a Ghetto so just thought I'd let you know.

Huh?? Why would they be called anything but customers?
NTNs? I know I'll hate myself for asking, but exactly what does that stand for?
edited to add___ I don't get this "black people don't tip" thing. I tip 20-25%, everyone I know tips, black, white, asian, latin...is this another one of those stereotype situations or do I live in an alternate universe???

it is not incorrect to not opt to serve blacks. you're suited, even black waiters hate serving black human beings. i be attentive to this becaus i'm black, yet I attempt generic to interrupt the stereotypes that my "human beings" have wide-unfold in united statesa.. I many times do not carry funds, yet while i flow right into a cafe I verify I definitely have some thing to furnish a tip with. I even left the eating place to flow to the atm as quickly as, simply by fact I do call for alot while i flow out, "better this, no that" yet I pay for what I request, nutrition and repair, EVERYTIME. i'm surprisingly particular this wont make you sense to any extent further sensible yet i've got found out that the reason the blacks who do not tip, do it simply by fact they're decrease priced and ignorant. it is dumb to take a position in nutrition once you cant discover the money for to tip, you will possibly desire to only purchase groceries and cook dinner. AND to anticipate provider from a guy or woman and not pay them is merciless. it is unhappy yet it is only how some (not all, and definately not me) think of and stay their lives. it is why we've the stereotypes. some human beings do have the "you owe me" mentality. I admit I did for a at the same time as to. yet unquestionably it grew to become into simply by way i grew to become into raised. It wasnt till I grew up that i found out the only thank you to end racisim is to in basic terms end it. So, the subsequent time you get black clientele attempt serving them so nicely, that they are going to see you as a guy or woman, not somebody who owes them. lead them to sense to blame in the event that they dont tip you.

When I was a waitress I called ALL my customers Maam or Sir. Their color had nothing to do with it.

i guess curleycute told us the why -- they are snobs and racists who look down on working people, probably cuz so few of them have jobs.
