What restaurants don't auto-grat on large tables? I've never worked at one that didn't and I've never eaten in one with 6 or more people that didn't. I worked at one restaurant where the tips were so lovely that we changed our policy from auto gratuity with 6 or more, to auto gratuity with 5 or more.

Labor Day Weekend has broke me. I've never been so overwhelmed in my life. I haven't stopped between both jobs in over 5-6 days. I've done nothing outside of life but work. Money has been good. But Jesus I lost it tonight. Last table. I missed a side salad on a split check. I just told the guy here's five bucks. Yay! New POS at the main job tomorrow!

It sounds like the 70 person group came in as "70 people" rather than a cohesive mass on a single tab.

Mine has auto-grat as an option, but doing so is entirely up to the discretion of the the server. 90% of them don't for whatever reason. I don't understand it but I'm just a lowly busser/barback so what do I know.  I mean it still hurts me re: tip outs, but not as directly as the servers themselves.Also god dammit anime convention people who swarmed us for all of Labor Day weekend in addition to the normal Labor Day crowds, you were doing so well until today. 5 dollar tip on a 150 dollar check, gently caress everyone at that table. I bought that poor girl a drink after we were cut for that, what a lousy table that was.

Labour day wasn't bad for me. Infact it was a fairly easy time and a half in the dishpit. On the subject of music, I have a set of speakers I can turn up as loud as I want pretty much. I play all sorts of terrible poo poo. Richard Cheese, E-Rotic, Bloodhound Gang, mashups galore, daft punk and whatever else. Nobody complains, so maybe it's not as terrible as I think. Though Lords of Acid has definitely gotten the most "Huh wha?" reactions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo-KBG4jCZQ

Yay cleaning. We have a whopping 54 on the books tonight. It's the first day of school so we're gonna be slow as gently caress since everyone is gonna be at McDonald's and Applebee's type places.

whup, the well of radical islam has been poisoned too HOOOOOOOKAY so maoism is passe and ironislam is a no-go so, uhhh... uhhhhhhhh..... *flips through the pages of Modern Contrarian* Khorne!

It means he's super salty at being asked to do basic server poo poo like fetch condiments and refills, and feels a WOMAN wouldn't be asked to.

As a consumer, I feel really awkward when I have to ask for a thing to be done. But Jesus Christ I'm supposed to feel bad to ask for a refill or more napkins?

If you're female and you look like you "get down" you get better tips obviously.

Where I work there is a decent older lady crowd that comes through and I can tell you that they definitely tip me and the other younger guys more than they tip the women. It also seems easier for me to upsell them, but I might be imagining all this.

For whatever reason I am a hit with a lot of our gay regulars. For the most part it just means I get compliments, occasionally some inquiries or flirts I try to graciously shut down, but one time...well, not only did this gropey-rear end old queen have no sense of personal space or boundaries, but good lord did he have a temper too. If I hadn't been so new to the specific restaurant I'd like to think I'd have had a bit more backbone, but honestly the...casualness of it all was incredibly jarring, like I'd never have imagined someone would think it is acceptable to just reach out and grope a stranger. The point I'm trying to get to, though, is this--in a year and a half I've had to deal with that once, as what is apparently called an "otter," as one of my gay teammates later explained (I did not ask for any elucidation beyond that). A woman--any woman--would have to put up with that kind of poo poo, or even worse poo poo, all the goddamn time.

Things that are awesome about our sautee guy becoming our new exec: he's been here forever, we don't have someone new coming in and breaking our chill vibes, and it means I get to learn sautee. I mean even if I get a chance to move to hot line I'd probably offer to stay at pantry cause I like it, but I like learning new stations too. I like being helpful.

Secret Spoon posted:E:^^^ Not trying to stick up for AMAHD but sometimes a drunk redneck is a drunk redneck. This is 100% true, also there's some weird old school idea that women who wait tables are not professionals, as opposed to the men who do, and some of the old crowd tips accordingly. Because you see we have husbands or something and are doing this for pin money. Its rare but I've definitely seen it.

On my usual Sunday shift, when most of my business was a church crowd, I wore a low cut shirt one week and a crew neck t shirt the next week. About the same amount of business and all the same regulars (lots of middle aged women, tbh) and I got probably $10-15 more with the low cut shirt. So yeah, put your tits out and you'll get more money. It's science.
