    $50.00 check at 9:30 p.m., we closed at 10, dude tips me $4 and steals my $5 pen.

    Death to restaurants, the only thing I miss is my co-workers.

    Leave it to the Cuomosexuals to ignore Hunter Biden calling Obama the N word.

    If you’re going to split a check, let the server know BEFORE you place your order.

    If black lives matter why did Trevor fore Jaboukie for making a Biden joke?

    My worst tip was negative money. This 6 top shorted me $3 on the bill, and I chased them to the parking lot. I didn’t get fired because everyone was so shocked that quiet Bonnie chased them down. They didn’t tip, but at least I didn’t end up paying them for the “privilege” of waiting on them.

    Mandatory before anyone attends university or starts a “normal job:”
    *6-months in restaurant work,
    *6-months in any other service industry,
    *Basic Military Training in any branch without having to join that branch (unless you want to).
    With all these skills normal people will learn how to treat people….

    I’m a certified Sommelier and much of my pay is based on a percentage of wine sales. During the last year or so most restaurants used their resources from government loans, etc to take care of their management and left tipped employees out in the cold. I waited for over a year to go back to work at my pre pandemic place of employment, and even after the owner personally asked me to wait, they eliminated my position and never even let me know. That’s why people don’t want to go back.

    I started out of high school by working in the food industry.. Back then, everyone has to eat.. Job security aswell as, in some cases, mobility..
