    Very well written Jazmine. I would agree with the points made, however what I would add is for servers to please try and meet their guests halfway. I have been places where waiters or waitresses have been rude and felt entitled that I should still tip them. As a customer, if the server is entitled to a tip, I am entitled to have good customer service.

    Does that mean I expect everything to magically appear right when and how I want it to? Absolutely not, because I know that’s not always gonna happen. However, I do expect to be treated with dignity and respect and not like I’m just a wallet in a chair. Rudeness will close said wallet, and I will not feel bad about it. If you are rude to me, and don’t treat me with respect, I don’t feel the need to worry about how much money you do or do not make.

    On the other hand, if you are nice and try your best, I have no problems being generous.

      Hey Josh! Thanks for reading, and eh, everyone spells my name wrong at least once. Yes, this article was not meant to attack everyone, and there are indeed waiters and waitresses who are absolutely horrible and therefore deserve to be tipped accordingly. I just based this upon my personal experience as a server along with my friends and coworkers experiences who are also servers, and for the most part we are in fact good at our jobs. Unfortunately, the patrons of many restaurants don’t tip according to performance whether good or bad, and when you spend an hour of your life serving someone and taking care of them, it gets rather frustrating when they don’t show their appreciation. So hopefully people just don’t know any better and this article can be used to inform them!

      Thanks again for reading and I appreciate the comments!
