I’m sorry…..

I’m sorry to anyone who has a bad day at work.  I’m sorry to anyone who is having troubles at home with a spouse or misbehaving children. I’m sorry to anyone who has a boss who is not so nice or “too nice”.  I’m sorry if you have a loved one who is ill.  I’m sorry to anyone that isn’t feeling great today.  Truly, I am.

However, if any of those things is happening….none of those things are from anything I’ve done.  So, PLEASE….please, do not be rude or hateful to others  you encounter throughout your day.  It is of no fault to the cashier at the gas station or the teller at the bank and certainly not me….who is hopefully bringing you delicious food & often much needed, adult beverages at the end of your work day.

I completely understand if you are not in the mood to make small talk.  That is 100% your prerogative if you do not wish to be bothered other than the required questions and answers we must exchange so that I may present you with what you desire to eat and drink.  Provided I give you great service, please remember I depend 100% on tips to pay my bills.  Would you want to go to your job and work all day for no pay??  That is exactly what is occurring if you do not tip your server. (All of this is assuming you have a good experience and good service from your server.)

$2.13  That is the hourly rate for most restaurant servers.  At 40 hours a week, that’s $85 and all of that and then some, is eaten up paying taxes for the tips we must claim.

Bad service=bad tips.  I 100% understand this concept.  I just ask, please remember that long wait times to be seated, receive your food or the quality of your food are of no fault to your server.  The guys in the kitchen make their hourly rate regardless of how long it takes them to get the food out.  Alas, it more often than not, affects our percentage of gratuity.  If something is my fault, I own it.  100% of the time.  I do not hesitate to apologize and explain my mistake and have it remedied immediately.  That is what good servers do.  Just as in life.  We all make mistakes…..we are human.  So, remember to be nice to the next human you encounter.  🙂

 

About Me

I’m 40ish and love all types of art and pretty much all visual art. It’s what has always been my passion. All types of dance, instruments, playing music, creating music and now painting/drawing. I stumbled upon tangling a few months ago and was hooked right away.

I am the proud mommy of 3 fur babies (Dixie, Minni and Bubba) with my boyfriend of almost 7 years. I wouldn’t trade “my little family” for anything! They keep me going during the trials and tribulations of this thing called life.

I’ve recently decided to get back into real estate and am considering taking classes to get my license. I was a closing agent before the market went kapoot and look forward to possibly selling houses! Alas, I must pay the bills going from a salary restaurant manager back to serving for tips. So, get ready for occasionally enlightening, often frustration-fueled, hilarious restaurant stories.

Me!

FIRST BLOG POST

July 15, 2016Edit
I’m new to this blog business, so feel free to leave tips or suggestions for me! I’ve created this blog to join the tangle community. However, just to let you know, I’m sure part of this blog will be about my family and fur babies.

I’m a proud mommy of three, at the moment, pending my boyfriend aka crazy cat lady, doesn’t bring anymore home. I’ve recently made a career….um, not change quite yet but I have gone from salary to depending on tips once again. Prepare for rants about that, as well.

So, I hope you find something interesting to you and visit often.
