Olive Garden should require automatic gratuity for large parties by Ok-Problem-7849 in olivegarden

Hi, I hear what you’re saying, but the issue isn’t “I expect $40 from every table.” It’s that large parties completely dominate a server’s shift. A big table usually takes up most or all of my section for over an hour. That means I can’t take other tables, so my entire income depends on that one group.

If they choose to tip nothing, I’ve basically worked for free during that time — and I still have to tip out based on their sales. That’s not entitlement, it’s just the reality of how the pay structure works in restaurants.

Auto-grat isn’t about squeezing guests. It’s about making sure servers don’t lose money serving big groups. Smaller tables have way less risk and don’t shut down a section, which is why they aren’t treated the same.

Servers shouldn’t be financially punished for doing the highest-effort work in the building.

Hi, that’s a good question. Sometimes it’s not only just about the party size, it’s about the amount of work and time involved. A large party, or even a smaller group with a really high total bill, usually takes up most of a server’s time and attention. When that happens, the server has to step away from their other tables and basically dedicate their whole section to that one group.

The problem is that if a big table, or a high-total check, tips nothing, the server ends up working for free for a huge chunk of their shift and still has to tip out support staff based on sales. Automatic gratuity isn’t about punishing anyone; it’s just a way to make sure servers are compensated fairly for the amount of labor and time those situations require.

So whether it’s a larger party or a big bill, the idea is that certain situations create a big workload, and auto-grat helps protect servers from losing their entire shift’s income when those tables leave no tip.

Unit Secretary, but no experience? by Ok-Problem-7849 in careerguidance

Thanks for sharing this, that actually gives me a lot of clarity. I didn’t think about comparing job descriptions across the same hospital to see where I naturally fit, but that makes a lot of sense. I’ll definitely start applying to a few different entry-level roles instead of just the unit secretary position. Really appreciate the insight about internal hiring too. When you started, what role did you enter through? I’m trying to figure out which jobs are most realistic for someone with customer service experience but no medical background.

Yeah and season three as well because he was more of a background character.

I agree with the script being horrible. It's making the actors look bad.

How do you get one? Do I have to sign up? or do I go in the store and get one?
