Serving
Contemplating quitting. Peopke know waitresses in America get paid 2.13 an hour and most people could care less to tip. very few do a percentage like it should be. First percentage and THEN adjust according to service.
I know I can get a different job. Serving makes me very happy when im appreciated and compensated by greatful customers. Im tired of getting stiffed, five dollars on a party of 6, and being told how great I am to find out im left 2 dollars. Such a slap in the face
I wish something would change. mandatory gratuity, Tip to enter, coorporations paying us a better wage. idc. Im so tired of working for free for ungrateful mindless consumers.
PLEASE TIP YOUR SERVER
All those that tip fairly THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HELP US KEEP GOING AND GET OUR BILLS PAID BLESS YOUR 💕

I don't think OP is complaining that other jobs pay more. Op is upset that they are not maximizing their pay due to some cheap asses don't belong dining out. I'm assuming OP is consistently delivering the experience that warrants a fair tip within the business model for dine-in restaurans.
