Last night I had so many shitty tables at work it could make my head spin. I made less money in the entire night than I've made on a single table last saturday. I really wish that there was something in place where if a table bigger than 8 comes in without a reservation, their tip is included in their bill. Sure, everyone has a shitty table now and again, but I think I got every single person with that stupid Mr.Pink attitude from reservoir dogs. I make 6 dollars an hour (or 6.35), I don't get tips, I get to make the choice between not paying rent or not eating. Somehow I'm not totally surprised, because if theres a table with kids, normally the behaviour of the kids is a good indicator of how the parents will tip. Seriously, the tables with kids who are clean and who don't scream and yell will be generous, the ones with the little shits who throw everything on the floor and shriek like little howler monkeys will leave you all their coins under a quarter. People who come in and order water and the cheapest thing on the menu, I don't expect anything from them. Now, it's one thing if they leave a tip and write a little note like 'sorry, we're students' next to what they leave, at least that way I know theres a reason other than you're being a cheap bastard. That's the only really shitty thing about the job, but man when it happens it's a kicker.
