How many of you have worked in restaurants? Perhaps you have, but I find it the worst job I've ever had. The main problem was dealing with people. Some would just run waiters around for fun.

I'm just saying that it's a very difficult position. My Father happens to treat wait staff terribly at restaurants, though I think he doesn't mean it. He seems to think that they owe him something. I look around when I go out with him to see how fast the kitchen staff is running around, trying to please everyone, and here's my Dad, seeing none of that, and generally expecting more than average from the staff. Of course, he tips average.

I tip a lot out of thanks for the hard work that wait staff do. I'm not saying there's no bad restaurant workers out there, but we're talking about a few dollars here.
