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...

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
