I wait tables at Cracker Barrel and it SUCKS not getting tipped well. An average tip there is like $3 on a $15.00 meal which isn't bad but when ppl don't tip and you busted your ass for them it's a pain in the ass!! I tipped a stripper at Mardi Gras in Marietta like $100 the other day...

What used to piss me off were the ppl who have ignorant views of ppl that work in the hospitality industry. A lot of ppl don't believe in tipping. I actually read an article last year where ppl were saying that if you can't get by solely on your hourly wage then you shouldn't be serving. That's ridiculous.
Ppl tend to talk down to you like you're stupid. I'm not going to say that this is the case across the board but for the most part, most servers are college students trying to get by or working for spending money.
Servers put up w/more crap than the average customer service oriented worker. Ppl go to restaurants with the sole intention on getting free food or taking out their bad day on a restaurant employee, and then there are those ppl who will complain no matter what. As a server you deal with a lot of bs.
Servers, or at least I did when I was a server, hate to wait on rednecks, hoodrats, and teenagers.
and for 2 reasons-most of them are stupid/rude, and therefore poor.
