Also a difference between who gets tipped 20%+ and those who don't.

Some of the stuff is a little anal, I get the feeling that if I worked for the author I'd have a hard time getting through a week without strangling him.

Most of those problems can be fixed by making sure you don't have a hot waitress. Guys or ugly/fat waitresses know they actually have to work to get a tip.

It's really great when they think they are being clever, but are actually insulting. THEN, get all pussy hurt when they don't make good tips. Huh, wonder why?

Everyone should be a server in a busy place at least once in their life.

I agree...it builds character.

I disagree. Being a lumber jack builds character.

Bringing me my food makes you subservient.

You walk back and forth to the kitchen and top up drinks.

If anybody thinks that is in any way a hard job, then you didn't have enough character building.

I will tip a spectacular waitress more though. Really hot ones too.

I am with Apoc, as long as my food gets here within a reasonable time, and is hot, I will give a decent tip. If the waitress is hot, I will slip her a roofie, and give her a different kind of tip.
