Message Subject Applebee’s fires waitress who posted receipt from pastor complaining about auto-tip
Poster Handle a-effin-server
Post Content
The pastor is an idiot. The pastor was referring to giving 10% of TOTAL earnings to God. The pastor was not being asked to give 18% of his total earnings to the place.

The server gets 18% of the bill, not 18% of the pastors total earnings.
 Quoting: RonP

EXACTLY, idiots!
I've worked in restaurants most of my working life. I was married to a Sous Chef for 5 years of well known fine dining steak house.. That being said, I've almost never seen a case where the 18% gratuity wasn't written somewhere on the menu, clear as day. It's SOP that parties of more than 8 people are charged the 18%.

I can't say anything about this woman that hasn't been pointed out already. What kills me is that most people don't realize their tip doesn't go to only the waitress. A lot of places require the server to tip out a percentage of their tips for the host, bus boys, and sometimes the bartender. She fucked more than just the waitress, when her problem should have been taken up on the corporate level. When you ring in people's meals, you ring it in by seat number, which is how food runners know who gets what when they bring your food and drinks out. Once 8 seats have food rung in, the 18% gets put on by the computer, not the server.

It was a $7 tip, wasn't it? Fuck her. Christians are their own worst enemy. "I can be an asshole, as long as it's in the name of GOD!"

People do not understand this type of concept. Servers at the end of the day have to claim to the IRS at least 10% of our food sales. Most now make you claim every cent. So this chick just had to claim @ least 3.50 she did grt. We are not out to rob any of you. Butwe do alot of work you dont see so-
--If I have enough money to pay for a meal and the tax...that's enough money to go to the restaurant.

--I don't go to a restaurant and plan on paying the wait-staff. I go to eat dinner/lunch.

You need to stick to fast food and take out if you don't want to tip. If you expect someone to take care of you during your meal, you need to be tipping them. If not, take your food home or go to McDonald's. The only point you're proving when you don't tip is that you're A)An asshole, B)Poor and shouldn't be eating out, C)Ignorant, or D)All of the above.

You are an idiot.

I have more than enough money to go out to eat every single day.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the waitstaff.

The Waitstaff does not "take care of me".

(I have not even discussed the overall poor service that I have received....and to have the "gall" to EXPECT a certain percentage of the total...wow)

Most waitstaff only have two more duties than a McDonalds' worker.

Making sure that my cup is filled with water over a 30-60 minute period is worth $2...nothing more.

Not to mention the other 4-6 tables that the waiter is waiting on who will probably pay the same or more over the same length of time.

$2 X 4 = $8 an hour

$2 X 5 = $10 an hour

$2 X 6 = $12 an hour

That ^^^ is more than enough. If you want more money, then leave the industry.

As a customer, I am not concerned with pitying the waitstaff because the owners pay them so little.

I am concerned about my food.

Why can't you understand this?

I will make sure you get dirty silverware and a dirty cup and that I drop the ice scoop on the floor and make you wait an extra 10 minutes on the bill and another 10 to get your change. The dude next to you will be in and out quickly because he chose to do the right thing. We are not called SERVERS for the fun of of it dipshit. Next time you sit at a table run your hand across it. You will know if your server deserves her 15%.
