Everyone should be required to work in a food-based service job at one point or another. They’d be more respectful, less ignorant, and probably tip better because they’d realize that most of the time, the only check you get from your employer says “This is not a check” and you are almost entirely reliant on the tips you make.

I don’t understand the ignorance that “Your server must not be college educated or must be a loser because they are serving.” Sometimes serving is a job that people take to get them through college, sometimes serving is something people do because the economy sucks and they’d rather not take unemployment, and sometimes (shocker) it’s a career choice because people like being social and interacting with others in that way and they hate office jobs. I have friends who serve or bartend who have masters degrees and used to work for Fortune 500 companies, but ultimately decided the office life wasn’t for them.

I graduated from college and have a full-time day job but waitress on weekends for extra cash and also because I enjoy the environment much more than the office. The next time you go to a restaurant, you should respect your waiter as another human being instead of thinking them below you in status or intelligence.

Hey genius, do you know what servers make an hour? A whopping $3.63 an hour. Most of that gets taken out for taxes and NONE of that reflects our performance, thank you very much.

If you got a 30 dollar paycheck waiting tables then you are probably bad at it. Just sayin’.

HAHAHA you are a funny one! Last time I looked at my paycheck, your name was not on it. It was also for $30, so if you are my boss, you are extremely cheap. Waiters and waitresses more or less work a commission based sales job. If you have a problem tipping them based on their age, class, gender or education, then you should not eat out. Ever.

I use this forum to pass on funny information about things certain customers do while drinking and dining. I have never generalized or stereotyped as you do, my friend. Deep seeded insecurity at its finest, ladies and gentlemen.

Why do you need to know my profession , do you want to judge me. I judge you because you are a 30 year old who works in the service industry and uses this forum to judge your customers–you know, the people who write your paycheck. You work for them sweety. I decide how much you get paid . I am the judge.

You have to wonder about a guy that would spend all of his time commenting on opinion columns and blogs. He obviously must not get out much.

I, sir, know my fair share of people in Annapolis as well, and not one of them has ever judged me based on my choice of profession. What do you do for a living that makes YOU so high and mighty?

Fortunately for you, I don’t date shallow, gold-digging men. Thank you for reminding us that ignorance comes in all shapes and sizes.

You have to wonder about a guy that would hit on a waitress. The object of his desire works for tips, has no health benefits, 3 roommates, and goes home smelling like the strongest smell in the kitchen –seafood or garlic, the smokey-fat smell of a steakhouse….

“You kept smiling and asking me if I needed anything.”

Whew, thank god you explained you were just doing your job, or I was going to have to kick our waiter’s butt at a restaurant we have gone to for 20 years. Because if he would have been flirting all that time, he would have been hitting on my father and my mother, my aunt and uncle, me and my wife and my children when they were kids and now as young adults.

Thanks for the clarity, you saved one of your own from a butt whippin.

Funny stuff, thanks for the laugh.
