Actually, Good Person, I Don't Make the Same Money You Do.

I'm a waitress, it's a really fun job, most days. Especially when I get tipped really well. That's usually a really big plus. What I don't like is, and I'm not saying it's everyone, but not getting tipped isn't very fun. Actually, we have a theory at the restaurant where I work at, where customers think we get paid minimum wage, and then the tips we make are just extra. No, actually what I make per hour is $2.13 and to be honest with you, for $2.13 an hour, I don't get paid nearly enough to put up with the disrespect I get as a waitress. The other thing that  the restaurant I work at doesn't do, is gratuity. I don't get to put fifteen percent of your money just because there are more than eight of you. Actually, you could tip me $2.00 on a $50.00 ticket, and I guess that's okay. No it isn't, that's not even fifteen percent! So just in case anyone ever wondered, Hi, I'm a person too.
