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...

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
