The HullaBoard - View Single Post - my complaint re: the bar

i work in retail..
but i do rentals and shit too..

i always bust my ass for customers.. at points i have taken time OFF to personally go somewhere and help someone as a favor..

i carry shit out to people's cars ALL THE TIME.... rarely do people help me out and even worse, rarely do they ever get the door for me, when i CLEARLY have both hands tied up carrying a VERY heavy item.

i have been working at this job for 4 years now.. (1 month shy), and i have been tipped once... $20.00.... that was for going out and 2 towns over to bring someone a cable and some CDs they needed... THEN fixing a couple problems that saved their ASS from not being able to have a show that night (saving them over $500 and a ruined reputation)... i got a thank you so much, i totally owe you, here.. take some gas money or something.

now this customer is one in a million.. he is VERY good to deal with, and i have always enjoyed helping him out when i can... he is someone i would go the extra mile for because he always has something nice to say and is in a good mood when he's around..

others, i go out of my way to kinda "forget" to include some shit in their rentals because they always bitch and complain about stuff, causing them to have to come back to pickup what they forgot..

moral of the story here..
i work in retail.. i don't serve food or drinks, but i do something very very similar.. i don't get tipped... (ok.. once).. i don't complain.. i was getting paid minimum wage, and i busted my ass off just like food industry people do..

now look at it in another perspective..
do the greeters/cooks/bus boys make tips? no...
just the wait staff and the bartenders...
do the bartenders make tips when they mix a drink, and a waitress serves them? no..

see.. it's all in the wait staff...
personally.. i think they SHOULD get some type of a tip... although i think MANY of them are greedy...
