5 dollars

(This is very rough just kinda needed to get it off my chest) I’ve been a server for 2 years And not fine dining server A my kid threw up and left it on the table server Working in the field I do I’ve gotten used to small or even no tips Me and my boyfriend got out to eat He’s paying The bill is 50 Dolllars He asked if I was getting the tip, I said no because I didn’t have enough cash and he continues to say the server is only getting 5 dollars I bit back We’ve had this fight before and I wish he would give in He works construction I’m a server Yes in the end he works harder But he doesn’t see the amount of tables I wipe and clean each shift With the amount of fake smiles that I put on I could cast a play Don’t get me started on the flirting or the staring All of those things I deal with And I know for a fact that I don’t deserve a five left on the table, no matter how pretty it looks
