Hmmm, a woman who worked for me had a one-legged "partner" who dumped her for someone else ... the stories those two women could tell about strip clubs and the like .... :shock:
Or he had a harder time getting away .... assuming anyone would ever try to get away from someone as charming as yourself .... but there might be someone else like Stingy out there somewhere.
Oy... I just want to add that I found your joke totaly hillarious!! I realised after the fact that I went on a small rampage about tiping, and hadnt thought about the humor side of it, Im a silly server what more can I say.... Kudos Man!!
Ha ha ha... You're lucky I like you Wayne, lol :wink: Actually, I didn't know he only had one leg until after we'd been out a few times. He always wore pants and he had a prosthetic leg, so it was a non-issue. Then one day he wore shorts, and I was like, Uhhh okay. He said it never occured to him that I didn't know. Yeah, my friends still like to tease me about the one-legged man, lol.....
My tip for a one legged waitress is, Don't lieft your leg. But in general i usually just take what ever the tax is and multilpy by 3. I figure if sales tax is 7% then the tip should be 21%
Ok, you want rude, crude, and socially unacceptable humour? Q: What do you call a one-legged woman? A: Ilene Q: What do you call a one-legged Japanese woman? A: Irene Are y'all happy now? Ok, for those who want more clean humour... Q: Why do flamingoes raise one leg when they sleep? A: Because of they lifted both legs, they'd fall down.
I was a waitress for 6 years. You shouldn't tip on % of bill. You tip for service,the mess you made, and for the size of the crowd you bring along with you. Being a waitress is not always easy. I no longer wait tables, but made very good money doing it at Waffle House @ 40/42. Now I seen that place has gone to poop. But tip your waitress according to her service not the bill. I tip on an average of $5.00 . They don't always make good money.
Tip for the mess I made? BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I've seen busboys clean up a mess in about five seconds flat. I should pay extra because I made a mess, when it is all stacked into a rubber bin and the table wiped clean with tha same rag that was used on every other table/surface in the restaurant? Then you get to the back and each plate is scraped (regardless of how much mess) and then loaded into the dishwasher... Do you want extra for the fork I dropped on the floor, too?
This is a good point. Why tip the waitress for the mess when it's the busboy (who rarely gets a share of that tip) who cleans up the mess? I also don't tip based on the quality of the food, since the waitress isn't responsible (or to blame) for that either. You waitresses want a good tip? 1. Don't leave me with a menu for half an hour. 2. Keep my tea glass full. 3. Bring my food while it's still hot. 4. Don't come by fifty times to ask me if everything is ok. 4a. Also, don't ask when I've just taken a mouth full of food. 4b. Don't ask before I've taken my first bite of food. 5. Bring my check promptly. 6. I know your feet hurt and you've been working since 5:00 am, but you could still give an occasional smile. Do all this, and you'll get a good tip.
I am a waitress/bartender and no it is not an easy job and no we do not get paid very well. But alot of us enjoy our jobs and put forth alot of afford when it even comes to the worst of customers we try to treat all the same with smile and all! And by the way too Cleo not all restaurants have busboys who do the clean up I know we don't we bus tables ourselves. My way of tipping is how well the service is. Tea glass is a must. And a smile and friendly attitude is always good. But then if I know my children or myself even have made a over mess I try to pick some up before I leave its just right these waitresses didn't ask to be your maids only service you food and be nice and courteous to you and hope you have a great dining experience. Hope i didn't step on any toes just wanted it known we all don't look at service the same way or have nice cushion jobs either. But we love our jobs and enjoy working with people. And by the way with me you will always get a smile and friendly attitude even if I had worked from 5am and its 10pm or later just the same as if I had just got to work.
Yeah CLEO , are you one of those rude messy customers Who doesn't tip well. Like what was said in the last post, Many places don't have busboys. If there's so much to complain about...try cooking your own dinner,breakfast,or lunch, and clean up your own mess. Guess what?? You won't get a tip from your family. You won't have to worry about tipping either.Problem solved.EAT AT HOME IF TIPPING IS SUCH A HARD TASK TO DO. The only person you can complain to is yourself.
OMG!! LMFAO!!! Actually, I'm the person who stacks the crap up for you, and tries to "tidy up a bit", puts all the trash in one pile. I'm sorry you have a job making 2.35 an hour, but guess what? It ain't my fault that is the career you chose. I don't recall complaining, I'm simply stating a fact. I tip based on SERVICE and not your PAY. And BTW, I don't cook. My husband cooks EVERY NIGHT, and I do the dishes when I darn well feel like it. My son clears the table and unloads the dishwasher and funny, but he doesn't complain and ask for a bigger allowance whether it is hotdogs on the grill or Christmas dinner.
I was afraid (or maybe hoping) we'd start this... Q: What do you call a man with no arms and legs under a car A: Jack Q: What do you call a man with no arms and legs in the garden A: Pete Q: What do you call a man with no arms and legs in the water A: Bob Q: What do you call a man with no arms and legs on the beach? A: Sandy Q: What do you call a guy with no arms or legs hanging on your wall? A: Art Q: What do you call a dog with no legs... A: ...doesn't matter, he's not going to come anyways.
