Oh, sorry... "guests that are like family." Ha.
I'm a waitress part time, and I worked all day today (I picked up a shift for a coworker who has kids).
One of my first tables today asked me, "Why are you working on EASTER??? Do you usually work Sundays?"
Um.... EXCUSE ME??? Why are YOU eating OUT on EASTER?????
I have to work because you came in to eat. So bite me.
Also, as most of you know, waitresses only make $2.43 an hour and don't get holiday pay. Why would you go out to eat on Easter and leave only a couple bucks tip? A couple tables were nice... left more than 20%, but most stiffed me. It's not like I didn't give great service... we were SLOW today, and I could take care of my tables perfectly, even had time to chat with them. I hate the clientele here. I got the "You are such a good waitress... thanks for the great service" followed by a 5% tip. Ugh. I understand that people in that area don't have a lot of money, but at least tip decently on a frickin' holiday. If you don't have the money to tip 15-20% of the cost of your meal, don't go out to eat at that restaurant. Didn't people's mothers teach them manners?!??
Sorry for the rant... I'm just getting sick of this job. I need to find something else that doesn't make me bitter and makes me money consistently. I hate not knowing how much I can count on having...
