Why are some people so ignorant when it comes to tipping? I am a server at the Olive Garden. I served 2 ladies, and 1 of their sons. They ordered 3 drinks (3 soft drinks with free refills/not water), 1 glass of wine, (5!) entrees, 2 appetizers, and the usual salad and breadsticks that come with the meal. I gave them 4 free wine samples each. I brought their food remarkably fast (I only had 2 other tables). But they asked for 3 extra scoops of dressing on the salad, with 3 extra salad dressing cups on the side. 1$ person didn't want olives on her salad, so I brought out extra olives for the 2 others who wanted it in cups on the side (since there was no room on their table for another salad). They asked for so much cheese that I had to use 2 FULL cheese graters for the salad alone. I refilled the drinks 3 times, and even boxed the salad and breadsticks, even though I am not obliged to do so since it is unlimited, and only the entree is required to go in the box. In short, I gave great service. The bill came to 87.00 and they left 6.50. Why? I'm not great at math, but I added it, and they left me about 7.5%. I worked my butt off for an hour and catered to their every whim. It took seven minutes standing at the table explaining every dish.... I just want to know WHY?!? I was very pleasant, as I always am. I take pride in my appearance (cleanliness, getting my uniform pressed, etc). I treat all customers the same, even if I think they won't tip well (and for the record, I thought this table would tip well considering the amount of money they spent and the work that was done). I LOVE my job, but I am very saddened when people don't have the courtesy to leave even 10% (which can be attributed to ignorance... anything less than 10 is just plain cheap and rude), and I appreciate it, even though the norm is 15-20%. For instance, if someone orders a meal that is 10.00 and leaves me a dollar, I don't take offense. They might be: financially challenged, ignorant, etc... at least they tried. I live in the South; I expect that. But in this situation, that wasn't the case. I went OUT OF MY WAY to make their dining experience outstanding. I tip the bussers/bartenders 15% of my tips (even if I didn't use them) Why cannot they extend the same courtesy to me? Ahhh!!
