If servers only made mininum wage, you'd have to eat at home

Most people, especially those that are self-considered to be "highly-educated", believe they are entitled to only the best. The finer things in life often include a luxurious dinner at a restaurant every now and again. This experience is only as enjoyable as the hard-working man or woman accomdating your every whim.

Arrogant individuals such as Travis, that believe serving is an easy job and that wait staff are entitled to no more than minimum wage, are living in a false reality. A tip-even a 20 percent one-is not excessive when you are being catered to by someone that is catering to about four or five other groups of individuals simulataneously. We do not merely "bring food" to YOU, Travis, for $20 an hour. We bring food, bring drinks, listen to complaints patiently and feign concern expertly, bring extra this and that, write orders, print checks, swipe credit cards, get change, clean up after you, wrap your leftovers, and try our very best to do it all with a smile. However, when waiting on the inconsiderate and self-entitled, the smile doesn't come easy. Your potential server deserves a 20 percent tip for accomplishing that feat alone.
