My boyfriend up stairs heard me and came running down to make sure I was okay; however, I was crying to hard to explain to him that it was from laughter. "Entree Check" was what really got me. Seriously, soooo funny!!! I want to copy and paste it on to a word doc so when I am having a bad day I can just read it and feel all better. I love that you added that picture too, it makes it that much more funny. <br />Thank you for writing such a hilarious blog:)!<br />P.S.

I never accused Snarky of anything really besides being attractive... I was just citing my own observations. I thought the point of a blog was to stimulate discussions? Be it positive or negative? <br /><br />Oh and I do apologize for misinterpreting your tipping out comment...ie - my bad.<br /><br />The restaurant experience I have had comes strictly from non college towns so perhaps the situation is different in ann arbor, than say novi (which is where a good portion of my time spent in the service industry occurred), and maybe it was just the restaurant I worked at but seriously all horrible people...so I can only speak from my own experience.<br /><br />Also first year teachers make around 23K a year working around 9 - 11 hours a day, 5 days a week. Working in Washtenaw County I would still have to say you make pretty damn close to that, coming from my friends in the industry, and if you don't maybe you should try another eatery.original anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276941391774313720.post-38136379927470713922010-04-26T23:01:09.765-04:002010-04-26T23:01:09.765-04:00Well said, E.Well said, E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276941391774313720.post-25210303412168374642010-04-26T19:29:29.907-04:002010-04-26T19:29:29.907-04:00I learned a lot today!

I would have to say that any sense of entitlement gleaned from reading said blog probably came to fruition after working retail and dealing with countless faceless douchebags such as yourself on too much of a regular basis. It sounds to me that the entitlement is coming from your direction. It's very impressive that you point out that most people in the service industry have never grown up, are heavy drinking, promiscuous drug users whom are horrible examples of the human race- well holy shit I'm pretty certain that applies to a very generous portion of people of EVERY position in life, be it employment or otherwise, to generalize something like that is ludicris. In other words, where the fuck do you get off saying such garbage?Jarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276941391774313720.post-34855440987033820282010-04-25T19:03:48.946-04:002010-04-25T19:03:48.946-04:00Dear Jayme,

i have one more thing to add in...Dear Anonymous, <br /> i have one more thing to add in defense to this humorous situation...tipping is NOT a courtesy. If it were, servers would make at least minimum wage, like employees at starbucks or subway... but since we only make about a third of that, hourly that is, tipping is expected, the fact that we servers have superiority complexes is mutually exclusive, it's just a character trait necessary to walk up to parties of complete strangers every five minutes, and act happy to not only see them, but take care of them like family...think about it.<br />thanks.Jaymenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276941391774313720.post-27760223348364331092010-04-25T17:11:55.694-04:002010-04-25T17:11:55.694-04:00I love anonymous commenters.

I feel all famous now. <br /><br />You did see the Snarky part in SnarkySouffle, right?<br /><br />I appreciate your right to your opinion, but since I dont know who you are, I can't take it seriously. Obviously, this post was meant to be funny. Obviously, I understand where you think you're coming from. BUT, this was meant to be funny. And to say that servers are drunk sluts and therefore cannot complain is like saying you shouldn't help out homeless people because they're only spending it on booze. <br /><br />I work overtime every week. I definitely don't make nearly as much as a teacher. I've walked out of that place after 11 hour days with $60 in my pocket. I wasn't complaining about tipping out, I was merely making people aware of it, because most people don't know that a percentage of the money servers makes goes to other employees. I also think most people don't know that we make $2.65/hour. I couldn't do what I do without everyone else doing their jobs. Everyone deserves to be paid for the hard work they put in. <br /><br />Anyone working in the service or retail industry thinks their customers are assholes. Every teacher gets annoyed with their students. Bosses think their employees are idiots and employees think their bosses are idiots. Very few people are lucky enough to find a job they absolutely love going to everyday. So for you to show up here and leave some condescending ANONYMOUS comment because I chose to take my frustrations with my job and make them funny, is completely ridiculous.<br /><br />I think it's great that you have found a job that you love waking up for every day and you never have one complaint about. Although, then you don't get to use MS Paint to draw silly pictures that make you laugh. BECAUSE LAUGHING IS FUN.<br /><br />Thanks for saying I'm pretty, but don't call me your darling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514729596290951307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276941391774313720.post-48552881896875723722010-04-25T16:32:47.388-04:002010-04-25T16:32:47.388-04:00First and foremost let me say I have worked in the...First and foremost let me say I have worked in the service industry, and I do in fact tip 20 percent on average (for acceptable to superb service). <br /><br />I also completely agree that you deserve common courtesy and respect from the people you encounter during your shift. You are a human being and deserve to be treated like one.<br /><br />However It seems that you have forgotten that people DO NOT have to tip. It is a courtesy. Your job is a gamble, and by the tone of entitlement in your post...a gamble that you usually win (which I'm guessing is why you got out of retail and back into the service industry?). <br /><br />I'd say servers in general have a superiority complex because it is easy money. You get on the job training and a month latter are grossing more than first, second, and third year teachers that went to school for 4 - 5 years. <br /><br />Lets not forget that on average most (I understand not everyone is included this and this one isn't even directed at you) people in the service industry are people who never really grew up. They tend to be heavy drinkers, extremely promiscuous, and the occasional illicit drug user. Truth be told they are horrible examples of the human race. And keep in mind my side note that that statement wasn't directed at you at all, but something tells me you can agree with me on that one.<br /><br />Your complaint about the extra dollar on that table with the 190 bill, come on. What are you going to do with the extra dollar? I get your point, but you come off like a spoiled child. Your job IS difficult, I get it, like I said before I've been there myself. I just think you are overlooking the fact that you just made 30 dollars on ONE table for probably a combined total of 10 minutes of running around for them. Let alone the probability that you have other tables that are tipping you out as well. I'd be interested to know your average hourly rate? Something tells me on a good day it's close to $15-20? <br /><br />Other people work hard to make you money, i.e. bussers, bar tenders, food runners, dish washers, cooks, etc. (and if they don't you should have the balls to talk to your management about their sub-par performance). A good restaurant is a team sport, and from the tone of your complaints you don't like being a team player. <br /><br />The reality of the situation is that they probably deserve a high percentage because their job is crappier and more annoying than yours. But unfortunately for them, they probably aren't as attractive as you so they got placed lower on the service industry latter. It's sad but true<br /><br />To sum it up my point; you should stop complaining and count your blessings darling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276941391774313720.post-60933600665451426042010-04-25T15:49:27.468-04:002010-04-25T15:49:27.468-04:00you are my hero... other favorites: are we celbrat...you are my hero... other favorites: are we celbrating anything special tonite? answer: no.
