No Tip For Server? – Waiters and Waitresses Do Not Cook Your Food, Do Not Punish Them for Waiting

The Gaff Blog does not own this image. Receipt says “LOL” where people would normally write in the tip. To the right says “1 hour for food.” The bill was $112.03 for eight people.

If you have not read about this situation at all here is the information you need to know:

A waitress in New Jersey was not given a tip for a $112 bill, which was for a table of eight people. Instead of leaving the tip portion of their receipt blank, the customers wrote “LOL” and to the right wrote “1 hour for food” which I would assume means they waited too long to tip. The 20 year old waitress at D’Jais Bar & Grill was waiting tables for the summer to pay for school at Rutgers University.

Now I will not be a hypocrite and say I do not get mad at bad service at a restaurant but I do not punish my waiter or waitress for things that are out of their control.

Unless you see your waiter/waitress doing double duty in the kitchen do not be a jackass and not tip.

And if they are doing double duty, give them a pat on the back for me.

I also understand that communication comes into this situation.

Did the waitress let them know of the kitchen being behind? I do not know. I was not there.

Even when my service is deplorable I leave at least $1. Because people have bills to pay.

Your waiter or waitress is a person too and they are not always putting on their best face or having a good day.

Have some compassion

I am very forgiving. Some people are not this nice.

I’ll admit I get angry when tips are required and the service was bad (tips are required in a lot of restaurants in NYC)

But I still keep my composure and give the waiter or waitress their fair share of money.

Don’t treat the person doing their job as a slave.

So apparently its National Burger Day.

If you’re not on Twitter, or not looking at trends on Twitter, now you know lol.

So what’s ironic, is that as a past vegetarian, I will be writing this post. Keyword past. Please do not consider me a trader vegetarians, but recently I have been loving hot dogs and burgers. Predominately burgers.

McDonald’s burgers, grill em at home burgers, Steak n Shake, Shake Shack, you name it. I’ve tried them all since giving up being a vegetarian and it seems unlikely at this point that I will stop.

Burgers are satisfying in a weird way. Not that tofu is not satisfying. Veggie burgers are tasty and good. But veggie burgers are so light that they sometimes leave you wanting a little more.

This is not me shooting down being a vegetarian. If you don’t like beef or burgers (or meat in general) more power to you. But some people just cannot give it all up. I didn’t eat beef for at least five years and gave up meat entirely for about two or three years. Chicken is just chicken but when I tried a burger again, I knew in my mind I would not be able to stop.

Maybe I’ll celebrate National Burger Day by eating one, who knows?

If you don’t eat beef, try a turkey burger. Or if you don’t eat meat at all, try a veggie burger.

Everyone can celebrate National Burger Day, don’t just leave it for the meat eaters lol.
