I still can’t believe I did it. It was my first time ever doing it, but I hope I never do it again. I still feel kinda dirty doing it. I mean she just did not perform to my standards. Whoa wait a minute here get your mind out of the gutter this is supposed to be family friendly here, I’m talking about not giving a waitress her tip.
Today for dinner I decided to go to Pizza Hut for dinner so I walk in and after waiting a minute or two my waitress gives me a menu, seats me, and walks away before I even sit down not even taking my drink order. After a minute or two she finally comes back to find out what I want. So I order some cheese bread and a P’Zone then she asks me what I want to drink. Well she brings me my soda and I drink it until there’s no more and then proceeded to wait for about five minutes until she brought my cheese bread sticks before getting my refill. So I ate my sticks and drank my soda until it was half gone then she brought my P’Zone, and didn’t take my empty plates or ask me if I wanted a refill. So I ate my P’Zone and at this point babied my soda even though she was in the booth right next to me rolling silverware and chit chatting about how she wishes she wasn’t there and how the one waiter’s girlfriend just broke up with him. After a while she got up and started wiping tables, on the other side of the restaurant! Then when I was finished she came over to ask me if I wanted a refill despite earlier coming by and seeing a cup that was between half and three quarters empty and most of my food still untouched. The one other thing she did that upset me the most was when she brought me my cheese bread sticks, she set them down on the table, set my refill down, turned around, walked a few feet, and then said “Enjoy”. That’s right she said it like it was an afterthought, I’m sorry but correct me if I’m wrong but as a waitress or waiter for that matter the customer enjoying their food should not be an afterthought. Now I would have excused this and thought nothing of it if the place was busy, but they were pretty much dead. So since she pretty much couldn’t care about me, her customer, I didn’t give her a tip.
Don’t get me wrong I usually give tips to wait staff, barbers, and whoever but the way she was acting I felt she did not deserve a tip. Do I feel good about it? No, but maybe she’ll learn from this and realize that in order to get a tip you have to earn it. Earning a tip means doing things like asking your customer if everything is ok more than once and not when they look like they’re ready to leave, or paying attention to their cup and giving them refills after they get around halfway through the drink, you know small stuff like that. So to any wait people reading this blog relax this is not a regular occurrence.

This one seems pretty harmless enough and besides there is nothing better than looking a beautiful girl in the eyes whiles she’s putting stuff on your face.
