To my surprise, I netted 20% off of all of them! It was like that all night -- my internal gauge was wrong every time. There was even a table that my stomach dropped when I saw them -- one of them was missing teeth, another had on the crazy thick heavy makeup, another almost a mullet, snotty answers to my questions, just all the signs of "YOU'RE FUCKED" -- and they left me a twenty on $80.
I cleaned up last night -- after having fajitas for dinner and giving the bartender $14, I still walked with $130. On a not-terribly-busy Sunday night, I was waaaay more than pleased!

Hot dayum - that is sweet for a Sunday night. Nice job. [I'd have laid the same bets too when I was waitressing. hee]
Missing teeth and mullets are usually are a sign that you're screwed. Glad it worked out. I've been cleaning up on the foreigners this summer. I don't think a single table has left me less than 20%. That's unheard of.
You can always breathe a sigh of relief when a table takes you by surprise like that. Glad it worked out!
Stop judging them books by their covers, yo. Nice night!
Hey sometimes the covers are right. I got the big fat man tonight who ate everything in site. His woman had bread and nibbled the appetizer. 40 dollar check and these classy people left me 5 dollars..and they had a damned gift card. My first eight tables of the night, I barely made ten percent. I wanted to start telling people that the taco stand was around the corner and that across the street was In and Out..and they're fast...I still walked with 90 but I got spanked for it..my back hurts...more RUM!!
I think its something in the air. My last 2 nights were like that too. I picked up 2 tables from another server that was in the weeds and expected to be stiffed on both accounts. To my suprise they were my biggest tippers of the night. Dont know what's going on lately but I dont want it to end!
Uh, and since this night? Everyone has TOTALLY been living up to their image! Fucking bitches.
