Thats why I am in school, serving is soul sucking. And a little more context, this is a restaurant where you get 3 courses and BUNCH of free stuff like salad, coffee, tea, ice cream and bread. On top of that most bills come out to $15 a person (Freaking cheap for how much food you get, the restaurant makes money off high turn over, profits are thin). You also have on average 5-6 table sections, and you have to bring out bread before you even say hi to a table. Lets add on the fact you usually get 3 tables given to you at once on average, so you have 12 people to greet, get drink orders, answer any questions about the menu. And on top of all of this the company has high standards. You have to greet a table and present bread within 1 min of them sitting down. Get drink orders and deliver within 6 minutes of sitting down, get food orders within 10 minutes of sitting, free salads/soup within 15 min, then main courses within 20 min of them sitting. Oh but dont forget to offer the free coffee or tea! And at the end of all this you scoop free ice cream for them as well. Did I mention all this stuff I am giving them I am preparing myself, the only thing I dont make are main courses. The owners of the restaurant have a standards that customer should have their bill paid and ready to leave after 50 minutes from the second they sit down. Rinse and repeat for 5-7 hours straight with no break (yes servers do not get breaks even thought they are legally required). This table i fuck with... I served them several times and got no tip, as did other servers. (fun fact, you share your tips with other staff of the restaurant, 6% of your sales. NOT 6% of your tips, so every time a server does not get a tip, they lose money). I am a very positive and upbeat person, I smile, crack jokes, ask my guests how they are doing. I even floor managed at this restaurant. But when you are a repeat no tipper (other servers have served them and got stiffed as well), and in the middle of a dinner rush you are asking a server to CUT BREAD, something I have seen 5 year olds do at a table, and then you dont even leave 10%... yeah if I am having a bad night, I am going to fuck with your food. I am also guessing you have not seen the movie "Waiting"
