As a waitress, and a very good one, I’d like to dedicate this post to all the shitty tippers out there who do not deserve to eat in a restaurant.

A waitress is a hard worker, they are on their feet all day, carrying hot plates, lifting heavy things, dealing with your annoying children, making sure your food and drinks are correct, and giving you your dining experience.

They deserve at least a 20% tip off your bill. You calculate it like this: look at your total, move the decimal to the left once, then double that amount.

If you can’t afford to leave that much don’t step foot in the restaurant. If the waitress is bad, then leave less. If the food is the problem then complain to the manager but do not take it out on the waitress. The only reason a waitress deserves less than 20% is if they are rude or if they mess up your order to a point of it being un-salvageable.

Your waitress deals with a lot a shit from the kitchen and managers. They make less than minimum wage and usually get ‘void’ paychecks. Every cent they make is based on what YOU tip them.

They bend over backward to make sure you have a nice dining experience. Reward them for there efforts. You wouldn’t like it if your boss cut your pay for a week because he didn’t feel like paying you what you deserve, right. Don’t stiff your waitress. They work a lot harder than you and they don’t get paid time off (they rarely get time off).

Also, being a shitty tipper is a huge turnoff.

Peace and Love,
