(36,437 posts)I just consider it my share of the wage.
Best tipping story: there was this guy out on a date - it wasn't the first date, but was maybe date 3. Mid-to-late 30's. In any case, he's sour faced the whole meal. He got good service, even though we were busy and he was being a bit of a dick. So, the bill comes to something like $46.35 (they didn't get drinks - I remember), and the guy gives me two $20s and a $10 in the bill holder. Jeez, what a cheap fuck, I think, as I go to the register, hand over the money, collect the change, and put it in my pocket. I go out to smoke a cigarette as we hit a break in the action.
Then one of the other waitstaff comes outside and she says Table 1 is asking for you. What? They're still here? Yeah, she says. He wants his change. I bring the dude back his $3.65, and he's hopping mad. I "humiliated him" in front of his date.
Whatever, dude. He did the thing where he left me a penny in the bill holder. We all rolled our eyes, and the owner essentially banned the guy from the restaurant.
