I hate people.

Customers are just plain bitchy tonight! I'm getting tipped less on perfect service and perfect food than on nights everything is fucked up. I don't get it!

Ah the beauty of serving. There is no way to judge a customer or a tip. If there was only some sort of physics or algebra or historical reference to make tips 20% + every time. Sigh.

just wanted to say i recently found this site through servernotslave and i think it's FANTASTIC! thank you for writing so often, it's so amazing to read!! just sometimes i get confused on the "major characters" and i was wondering if there was one past post where you laid out nicknames like CL, L., etc.

I was about to go to bed, but I just had to pop back online to say -- yes, I absolutely have a list! On the right hand side, just about the Facebook box, there's a link where it says "Wonder who the hell Lapdog is? List of coworkers is here!" There's your shortcut for future reference. :) The link is http://slightlycrankywaitress.blogspot.com/2009/11/roll-call.html -- although L. isn't on there, as I haven't talked about her much. Glad you're enjoying it. :) I'm off to bed now!

Nativenapkin, you're probably right. Gotta love those. :)


Caz, some nights it does seem that way!

Sauce, that algorithum would be worth a fortune for sure.

Anonymous, you're welcome! :)

Dude! Happens to me all the time! I bend over backwards, do everything of sucking people off, or rearing their children... and the tips are like 11-14%!!

Then I get in the weeds, bring food out late, and forget drinks? 18-25%!

What gives?
