i dont know if any of you guys out there know that servers live on their tips ! not their pay check!!
ya im not lying! at least here in CALIFORNIA thats how it is!
i got my 2 week pay check today i work 4 days a week and usually less than 5 hrs thats how our restaurant works!! anyway can u guess how much i got for my 8 days of work ( 2 weeks) i got $88.00 can u believe that???? ( the IRS takes 15% of my claimed tips plus 8% of my gross sales)
with that said it really upsets me when people dont tip the 15 - 18 % of their bill...!!! some people dont even tip the tax of their bill!!
honestly if people do not have enough money to go to a nice restaurant and leave a good tip then they should not go out...... go to mc donalds or burger king or something!!
YES I DO REALIZE that there are some really sucky servers out there and yes if you feel u got bad service then you should not leave a good tip at all trust me i've had bad servers before but i still leave a tip!
i dont consider myself a bad server i always have a smile on my face even if im having a crappy day or i have problems... i know people go out to dinner to maybe forget about their own problems so the leasts i can do for them is give them a smile and be of service!!
well when i do that and people leave me a 2 or 4 dollar tip on a 70 dollar bill it really upsets me ...
theres different people out there
1) theres the super nice people that have a smile on their face and say PLEASE and THANK YOU! .... and they leave the right tip
2) theres the people hat from the moment they walk in the restaurant feel that they have the right to treat u like you're their slave...!!
3) theres the needy people everytime you go to the table they need something else! do they realize that as a server you dont only have 1 table sometimes you have 5 other tables full of people that also need you attention! and God forbid you forget something because the world is gonna end (im sorry im only human and YES I DO FORGET STUFF)
4) theres the stupid people!....... lol
people that would ask you something about the menu ...u explain and they still dont get it! ITS OK I CAN EXPLAIN AGAIN....
*do you guys have gravy?
-no sir we do not..sorry!!
*mmm really?........................ why not?
- =) idk sir we have never had it!
* mmmm ok............... well i'll have .....mmmmm .... so no gravy huh????
- OMG!!!!!........ =/
SITUATION 2
* i have this coupon and i also wanna use this other coupon
- im sorry sir you can only use one or the other
* and why is that?
- well its company policy
* but why?
- idk sir i only follow orders from my boss.. plus if YOU READ THE FINE PRINT it says CANNOT BE COMBINE WITH ANY OTHER OFFERS OR COUPONS
* well i never read the fine print....let me talk to your manager bacause im sure i can use both of these today!
- sure sir i'll get u the manager right now.....
(manager goes to the table and talks to the guy..... manager comes and talks to me.." I TOLD HIM HE CAN NOT USE BOTH OF THE COUPONS TODAY AND HE SAID OK)
- (im walking to the table thinking WHAT DID I TELL YOU?)....
ok sir so what can i get for you??????
and some awesome days you get that one table that is all 2, 3 and 4 cases....ALL IN ONE!!!!
thank you sooo much have a good night and thanks for your 2 dollar tip!!! =I
the majority of servers out there are trying to pay for school or house basically have a future so please next time you go out to a restaurant look at your server and smile at him/her and think about why that person is there he/she is trying to earn a living ..... that person that is carrying your food and beverages is a regular human being that is counting on your tip to pay bills!!!
sorry about the 100 pages long blog guys!!!
good night and sparkles all around you!!!
=D big cupcakes!!!
