Bouvre Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 I still walked away with 100 in my pocket. Worth all the stress.
molarbear Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 That's kind of you. I've worked in two restaurants in my life and never once have the cooks been incorporated in the tips We had one waiter that liked to brag about how much he made in a night, one night he made $350 in tips in 4 hours.... i made $32 before tax in that time needless to say that dude's orders took very low priority after that
Bouvre Posted October 7, 2017 Author Posted October 7, 2017 I'm expected to pay about 20 percent but I've never done less than 25. Even though the cooks get tips from the bar and from the front, that's where the real magic happens. I'm just a pretty face.
discolé monade Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 i've never had to tip out the cooks. and i would be pissed if i had to. the bartender i didn't mind so much. but i would only if it knew i had a butt load of actual drinks, not soda. was supposed to tip out the busboy at this one place, but he NEVER bused my tables, but expected to get tipped out. i was also pretty sure he was stealing my tips.
death_by_motorboat Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Wtf why are you waitressing weren't you spending a season in Asia last time I talked to you?

That contract ended, I moved back to the states, married my husband, started a masters degree, and here I am killing time until I can apply to collegiate positions. Been awhile.

I feel legitimately if I was a cook and wasnt getting tipped, I wouldnt work this job. The cooks don't get enough appreciation.

The cooks don't get enough appreciation. see the places i had worked. the cooks were making at lease 3x what the waitstaff was. also, there was one place the the cook was absolutely the worse. food was awful, or just slow on orders.
Cau Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 To the John Waters retrospective I don't know who or what that is but I'm only going if I can sleep on your shoulder during and we can go out for breakfast dinner after
