Patrons Pinching Pennies

It’s almost here. The holidays are upon us. Another season of indecisive idiots burned out on shopping for that perfect gift. They quibble over the cost of an extra piece of toast. Then they argue over whether or not they should spring for the sweet tea or stick with the water and lemon. Of course, it’s obligatory to scream at each other as to who’s in-laws and friends can and can’t come to Thanksgiving dinner. After running me back and forth changing their order twice and having me split the check, they all assume that the other of them has left the customary three dimes, one quarter, and six pennies. When in fact none of them left a tip.

    And don’t forget, if you are lucky enough to get a bunch of bible thumpers you will really see what shitty tips are all about!

    I love December, apart from the 16 hour days it’s great. All tables are pre ordered in advance and they get no more than 2 hours at their table. And best of all I lifted about £2000 in tips in 3 weeks. Tis the season to be jolly …..

    Bah Humbug everybody. Holidays suck. It’s a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy to our wallets. A bunch of economical B.S. in my eyes.
