"20-year-old server Jess Jones, a student at nearby Rutgers University, posted the receipt on Facebook after the table stiffed her last week. "Even though they did wait an hour to eat, they remained satisfied with filled drinks and proper notice that the kitchen was a bit busier than normal," she wrote. "I need tips to pay my bills," she continued. "All waiters do. We spend an hour or more of our time befriending you, making you laugh, getting to know you, and making your dining experience the best it can be.""

Don't like it? Get another job that doesn't require someone giving you money out of generosity.

Waited an hour to eat? I think I'd have plopped 5 bucks down on the table to cover my diet cokes and walked out.

People who don't tip are the worst kind of scum. Period.
Eat at McDonalds you cheap trash. |

Just like they may get a really good tip, they may also get nothing. It's to be expected especially if someone waited an hour. It's still shitty, if the server did s good job. For all we know they got really crappy service.

Seems a little counter-productive. Maybe instead of posting her own failure she should be looking for a better restruant to work for. |

Tough shit.
ETA: I tip regardless of service, and I never send anything back. |

Whats with people taking their shit tips to the media lately? View Quote One did it, it got attention, so others followed suit because they want attention too. "Restaraunt tip/receipt notes" is bundled in with "I experienced horrible racism!" and shit to me. Take them with a pound of Kosher salt. People fabricate shit all the time for attention. |

Unless she screwed up getting their order to the kitchen she doesn't deserve to be stiffed. She has no control over the kitchen.

"Most of my paychecks are less than pocket change because I have to pay taxes on the tips I make," she wrote. "I need tips to pay my bills. All waiters do. View Quote Thank a democrat. And if you don't like the tips you're getting, Go find a minimum wage job. Plenty to be had. No one is forcing you to work in the food industry and I'm sure as fuck at the end of the week you're making more than minimum wage. |

View Quote Agreed, additionally, she needs to bitch to the kitchen staff and/or the manager about getting some fucking staff that cover their clientele instead. An hour is bullshit, and I'd not be happy about coughing up $25 tip in addition to my bill after waiting that long. |

Tips are customary, but not mandatory.
That being said, it is not the servers fault the kitchen is slammed. Take care of your server, discuss the kitchen issues with the manager. |

She can't help the kitchen being slow. As a auto tech that dealt with Customer Satisfaction Index surveys, even if I fixed the car correctly the first time and done everything perfect, all it took was the service writer,cashier,porter, their own kids to piss them off and bomb my survey. That's part of it. I controlled what I could control and the rest was out of my hands. It was what it was. I didn't bitch about it on the Internet. |

Was one of the diners a Dutch econ professor with an unhealthy affinity for geese?

First off, why the fuck is this even news? It should not be. Second off, she wants more money, get a better paying job. See how that works?

I like to tip well, but I also expect good service.
The waitress isn't responsible for the quality of the cooking, but they are responsible for getting the food to the diners and getting the order right. The one major area where a waitress can lose her tip from me is if she delivers an incorrect order and did not take the time to write the original order down. That tends to result in "If you can't remember things, write them down." being written in the "TIP" section on a receipt. |

If a waitress keeps the drinks coming, she'll get MORE than 20%!

People who don't tip are the worst kind of scum. Period. Eat at McDonalds you cheap trash. What kind of fool tips for poor service? So you're saying it's her fault the place was busy? It's her fault the kitchen was backed up? She can keep them apprised of the situation, and keep the drinks/snacks coming... but that's about all that's within her sphere of control. Anything else, you should take up with the manager. Taking it out on the wait staff isn't a great way to register your displeasure, and being a snarky wise-ass about it is just gratuitous. |

A "group" of diners had a tab of $112. Assuming that's at least a few people, what kind of service do they expect at a cheap ass place like that?
