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...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
