I thought you were implying that waiting isn't a hard days work! My bad
No not at all mate just that they should be paid fairly for the hard work that they do.
waiting? as in waiting tables? thats quite hard. but not nearly as hard as my current erection.
That's messed up. I have a buddy who when it's his turn to pay I always make an excuse to go back and leave a proper tip because he's a cheap bastard. Like a dollar and coins on a $40 bill, it's so embarrasing I have to make up for it. I've told him about it and he shrugs. dick.I was meeting this guy for business at a small but busy french cafe, we sat for over 3 hours had nothing but coffee and the waitress kept our cups full of the finest French Roast. We asked for the bill... 4 bucks, so we both go to leave the tip, he put down a one, I put down a ten.
He says what? you're leaving that much? I said yea, he picked up his one one and said no way.
We never met after that.
I went back to work bartending/waiting tables when I lost my job a few years ago. I enjoy serving people, and talking with them about their day. There are some people you cannot make happy. I think there are a few here. Some people are horribly condescending, ask you for a straw, and when you bring it, ask for a side of wahtever, and when you come back, ask for something else, just to run you. All the while you have 6 other tables that need attention. Then, after receiving excellent service with a smile, they stiff you on the tip. No class is no class.
Trust me folks, people who work in the tip industry remember you like a MF, if you tip well, and if you tip poorly, or are rude, you will get shitty service the next time you come in, and lucky if you do not get fumunda cheese with your food.
The server isn't charging $29 for a steak that is $8.99 lb at the store, it's the restaurant. The rest of the food costs money, and so does electricity, insurance, payroll, building lease, taxes, etc. If you want your steak for $8.99 lb, go to the store, cook it yourself, wait on yourself.
The christians do seem to be the worst. There are some that leave these stupid cards about jesus dying for you, as your tip!!! C'mon back, Mr. Jesus Man. Free fumunda cheese for you next time!

wow i just looked up the rates for bc and apparently we've had the tiered minimum system since 2011..... when i quit bartending in '08 we didn't have that, everybody started at the same minimum.
i've had my ass totally SAVED by a random $50 ~ $100 tip on more than one occasion; i try to pay it forward as much as i can. my favourite is to leave a nice nugget wrapped in a $20![]()
to assume that everyone else smokes bud. which i think they should.
i usually try to look for clues (hemp jewellery, blown-glass beads, etc.), but....... that's bc for ya.![]()
.. restaurants are complete money makers man..
so I hear.
I hear BC is a magical place for people like "us". Actually I hear its a magically place in general.. for anyone.
it's pretty magical, alright.
when you walk into a restaurant reeking of magic, half the place will start surreptitiously sniffing themselves (or wives sniffing their husbands).![]()
