Take it Outside I was fired from a family restaurant where the servers act goofy and wear suspenders with lots of buttons (you know where) for chasing guests who didn't tip me out of the restaurant. The story goes like this: Four young teenage girls, told me they were going to a concert and were in a hurry, I rushed their 3 meal order (1 girl was sharing) and got them out of there in good time. We validated parking at the garage next door at this particular store so when I cleared the table and saw there was no tip - and the cash left was $2.00 short - I rushed to the garage and waited by the gate. I approached the 2 girls in the first car (they had 2 cars, and I gave them 2 parking validations - a $4.00 value right there) and informed them that the money left on the table was $2.00 short, at which point the girl handed me a five dollar bill, so now I am outside the car making change for them. "Was everything ok?" I asked, "Yeah", said stupid bitch #1, "Did I get you in and out in time?" I asked nicely "Yeah" replied stupid bitch #2. "Well then WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TIP ME YOU STUPID LITTLE BITCH??" I screamed, obviously losing control.
I went on and on to make my case of how I had to claim 13% of my sales (Yes, its true, at this particular restaurant we had a little visit from the IRS who had worked up a formula whereby we had to claim a minimum of 13%) and how when a person eats in a restaurant they are expected to tip, etc. etc. Well one of these little freaks had her dad call and talk to my manager and when I came to work for my next shift, goofy outfit and all, I was fired. I was devastated but found a better job the same week and did learn a very important lesson. I'm calmer these days, and no longer waiting tables. But it sure did feel good to just lose my shit and scare those girls! Talk about a waitress from hell!
