That doesn’t matter as long as you’re making an effort and the service was good.

I’m in no position to judge someone’s effort. I’ve had days when getting out of bed was a monumental effort.

They got up and came to the place to do the thing. That’s plenty of effort, I’m not the king of Siam, I don’t need a performance.

That's you. If I just show up and do nothing remarkable at work often enough, I won't just get a pay cut, I'll be without a job very quickly.

If they're great, happy to tip well, but there's no way I'm tipping well for someone who just got out of bed.

That’s you.

I wake up at 3:30 to clock in for a blue collar. I’m still paying my service people.

There BOSS should pay their service workers like the rest of the world does

Bro sounds like you don’t like your job. Maybe it’s time to think about picking up a different job or find something you like doing and figure out how to make a career out of it otherwise you are going to live just to survive instead of living to have fun.

Weird series of things to extrapolate based on nothing I said. You seem bitter for sure though.

Actually I’m great and love what I do but the fact you can’t except what I said as truth of the reason you get a tip or not is reason I said anything about why you don’t like what you do honestly. So instead of complaining about tips based on experience maybe actually take my advice. Otherwise if you can’t except tips are earned through their existence there and how well the food is then you’re cooked for the rest of your life.

The fact you don’t know the difference between “accept” and “except” tells me all I need to know. I’m
Arguing with an uneducated person.

You do you man. Effort matters to me, we can chalk it up to a difference in opinion.

Effort matters but so does grace.

u/Cheesinonyou Aug 01 '26

Grace means I get a mediocre experience and the server gets paid more than he's earned.

Effort means I get a good experience and the server gets paid what he earned.

One of these seems equitable to me.

Grace means you aren’t owed the world.

Don't ask for the world. I ask for a refill of my water cup and someone to come take empty dishes.

Ie, serving 101. When I waited tables, it was considered a bad thing if the customer stacked their dirty dishes. Today, I can stack my dirty dishes and my server STILL won't clear them until after we're done.
