RESPECT

So I know im always bitchin about work and rude people but its getting worse I think. FYI for people that frequently have lunch at a restaurant on their lunch hour or people that want to have meetings while having lunch. Just like you are working this is OUR place of business too. If you are sitting there for 3 hours thats taking money out of our pockets taking up the table just for you. Nothing in this world is free, if you are going to take up a table for that long at least leave the expected 20% plus more for taking up the table for what could have been more tables. We do this for tips. We only make about $2.75+tips then from our tips we have to tip out the busboys, bartenders, food runners, etc. So if you leave us under 10% we lose money essentially paying for you to eat. Now that just doesn't seem fair. Have a little compassion for for your fellow human being. Say hello to a stranger in the street or the bus driver that you see everyday going to work.
On one other note....BLACK PEOPLE listen to this. If you think its discrimination that you don't always get treated well in restaurants let me tell you why. First, a good 60% of you tip like we still live in the 50's if you don't dine out regularly dine out with a friend who does so you can learn the etiquette of eating out before trying it on your own 10% is NOT acceptable and its insulting to the person that has went out of their way to serve you food with a smile, Second stop with the separate checks be an adult and bring cash when you eat out and if you can't we can split the check amounts evenly for each card, splitting the check is a pain in the ass as well as confusing we have so many checks to deal with in a shift we don't need 1 table w/ 5 separate receipts. Keep it simple, Lastly if you have children under the age of 6 ORDER FOR THEM. Yes little "Johnny does need to know how to conduct himself in a restaurant but we are busy. To busy for Johnny to first try to read through a menu he doesn't understand and then tell us in words we probably don't understand. I guess the moral of this whole rant is to use some common sense and treat people like you would want to be treated at your place of business or just walking through life. Treat people how you would like to be treated its good for the soul.
