To The Lady Who Didn't Tip Me

I'd rather have my sanity than your tip.

To The Lady Who Didn't Tip Me
Og

Just to make all of this make sense, I will fill you in real quick. I was working at my restaurant the other night and a group of 5 came in. I was the lucky person that got sat with this table. At first I was thinking to myself, "Yes! A bigger group of people, I can make some money." Did that happen?? Yes and no.

So my table is waiting on another person so they just oder some appetizers and drinks. We are all having a good time and the last person shows up and they all start to order. Basically to make this short, a woman at my table was upset about the price of the meal she was planning to order. She then tried to argue with me "negotiate" about the price. I had my manager talk to the table and he wasn't going to discount that meal (it makes sense). She was still mad and after two hours of drama and rudeness she finally ordered the meal. Yes, she ordered the meal she originally planned to order.

So now the whole table has received their food and are eating. She rudely keeps telling me to re-fill drinks that were already full, take plates that were empty (one plate at a time). She ran me for a solid hour and did it all with the meanest look on her face and the most nasty tone in her voice.

Finally things are over, her daughter and sister apologize for the woman's attitude and how she treated me. They both offered to spilt up the bill so they could leave me a good tip (the woman was originally going to pay for everything) I was very thankful for this. After the two other women paid the bill was still at $106 and the woman left me nothing. That's right, nothing. I was mad at first but now I'm thankful.

I'm thankful because, never will I treat someone or let anyone I know treat someone the way they treated me. Now I've worked in food for a long time so I haven't really ever done that, but I know some people that have. There were times when I should've told that person to stop being a brat or stop being rude. Now that I've seen that not all people agree with their party (for example the other family members were embarrassed by this woman) I will not let anyone in one of my dinner parties act this way.

So thank you to the woman who didn't tip me because honestly I don't need your money if you're going to try and make my life hell. I take your order, I put it in the computer, I re-fill your drinks, and I run your food. I'm not your slave and I'm definitely not someone you can just tell what to do (rudely) because I'm working in an environment where your tip matters, it doesn't. Think more about how you treat your servers because next time I highly doubt you'll get someone as nice as me...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
