I have never demanded a tip or not given back the correct amount of change. Further more i will never walk away from a customer with out saying thank you even if i just recieved a poor tip. Thats just rude. The fact is though I only make 2.65 an hour and society has deemed me tip worthy.

Now im not going to bitch, because if i wasnt making the money i was i wouldnt be in this industry. It is just one of those things, if u have been in the food industry u understand our point. We get paid shit.

Ohh and bartenders and bus boys do get tipped a percentage of our sales. They also make more than servers, which means sometimes they walk out with more money than us.

On another note my second job in the summer is working as a mason. It is unfair to compare any job to one that tips becuase you are still getting paid in one job and relying solely on tips in the other. Besides on one hand u have a strenuous physical job and the other a highly stressful work environment that takes its tol on you mentally. Ask any one in the industry it takes alot of patience and control not to tell someone to go shove it especially if you are having a bad day.
