    The worst thing about waiting tables...

    okay...

    To Start off with, i would like to make a disclaimer. I am not in any way what so ever racist.

    I wait tables when I'm not going to school or working at dell, so...

    As a whole, I hate waiting on black people. I seriously think they have some psychological programming as children to keep them from tipping in restraunts. It takes an act of congress to get even a 10% tip. On average, black people will have higher checks, complain more, and tip less.

    Sorry...just venting.

      Maybe your hatred of waiting on blacks shows through and you serve them poorly.

      If a waiter doesn't serve me worth a damn they don't get tipped worth a damn.
      Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

        actually, it is quite the opposite. I'm one of those damned people that thinks that everyone is an individual, and deserves my best effort until they prove otherwise. If anything, I would say that I actually give blacks better service than others, because i take extreme caution not to mess anything up, and pay very close attention to what they want. Yet, still, no joy...

            hmm.......perhaps it's just me but i haven't noticed a tiping difference among races....at least yet.....i've met alot of picky black people you'd love to clobber..but also alot of picky whites etc....
            ive met the niceest black people ever..and really nice white ones and of all races too...
            perhaps you go into serving them with a certain stigma that they pick up on and that, in turn, results in you getting a low tip..kinda like a self-fullfilling prophecy

                lol...true boshko. DM, that can't be it. Seriously, i'm the least racist person ever. I hate classifications, (ie: slowwhands post). Several of my best firends in the world are black. And as far as waiting goes, the only thing that anyone would possibly be able to pick up on is that i'm giving these people exceptional service... And I wouldn't think denny's is a place to make great tips???

                      From a retail perspective, I absolutely hate the average middle-upper class white male. They never buy services, sign up for extra stuff, etc., and generally act like *******s who own the place.

                      Also people who don't speak English piss me off - even more so when they expect us to speak Spanish. Get a ****ing clue, this is America.

                        20-something males -- any color or flavor. Complainers, drinkers, check-arguers, and just generally speaking wastes of life. Would that all males passed directly from 16 to 31.

                            On a related note, what's the general consensus on hitting on customers? I generally don't do it, but I work with a lot of people who do. Personally I see it as kinda rude, but I dunno...
