Table Waiting
posted in General |I stumbled upon WaiterRant in the pre-dawn hours of my internet combing. His writing leaves me sad that I don’t have such great tales to tell of my waiting days at the fat red bird. And that my days are spent chatting to such a small group of people that I don’t think they’d be so interestingly carved out as his pages.
But I do have a little advice- I’ve probably said as much in the past, but tip well. Ten percent’s not that hard to figure out, just slide the decimal point over once. Then double it for 20 percent. And you know something? If you’ve eaten out, and it’s a 35 dollar tab, and you add seven dollars for great service (as opposed to five for ok service and don’t ever add just three and a half), if you add a couple more dollars, what is that to you? Two dollars to you is “pfft,” but a nine dollar tip on a 35 dollar tab is 25%. And if everyone tipped 25% there’d be a lot more happy waiters 
.
Trust me, you want happy waiters.
