It all comes down to simple math
I recently got furious over a person’s comments on a story about server etiquette.
In his mind, servers have no right to complain about poor tips, because we make enough money already.
He asserted (WARNING: Math ahead) that if a server has four tables of four people each, each table being turned over every two hours, with the average check being $100, and the people tip just 10%, plus...
“The beef fried rice. Does that ome with rice?”
– Seriously.
“Table for one. Non-smoking. View of the ocean.”
– Guy to the hostess (to clarify, the restaurant is in the middle of North Carolina).
