So, as I sit and think about today at work, Id like to remind all you non resturant workers on how to treat your waitress. I hope my 14+ years experience will help you learn to be more considerate. Hope not to offend anyone, but sometimes people need to hear the truth.
1. Although you are awesome and your time is more precious than anyone elses, you are NOT the only person in the resturant. Look around and see that maybe your waitress just got sat 3 tables at the same time, and as long as he/she is at one of the tables, relax, he/she saw you and will be there just as quickly as possible.
2. Never yell at your waitress/waiter when they are at another table. Would you like that if someone was yelling at them at your table?
3. When your drinkn is empty, dont continue to suck the straw. The noise is annoying, and me personally will leave you with an empty glass till you quit.
4. Control your kids. I know you want to enjoy your drink, but we are not babysitters.
5. Dont talk to your waiter/waitress like they are beneath you. They are people too working hard.
6. Remember that waiters/waitresses get paid based on tips. You may think they get a check, but really 40 hours at 2.13 an hour minuse taxes you pay on tips is nothing.
7. If at all possible, tip in cash. You may not know but waiters/waitresses pay a percentage of your tab and each time you use your cc to tip. Personally we pay 4% of our total sales at the end of each shift.
8. Just remember that we are people too. Treat us like you would want to be treated.
9. Relax and enjoy the fact that you can still go out and enjoy a great meal.
So that will be my lesson for the day.
Hope that yall have a great week! Go TEXANS!!!
