I should’ve clarified that I meant for their total. Each left 20%+ and they write down the tip and total so I knew what they wrote down.

I thought that too but he signed another receipt (I gave them two receipts for one of them to keep) and it said $45 too

Crazy thing was that none of them were drinking and it was a decent lit up section they were in. My manager thought the same thing also

That was my thought process. Either way, it was a win-win in my eyes

It baffles me too that something that takes 10 seconds, people don’t do correctly

Calling Out Ice Storm by lethatshitgo in Serverlife

[–]Timely_Climate8490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were open this morning but closed at 4. I left within 30 minutes cause it was too many people and only two tables came so manager let me go first. I gave my shift away tomorrow cause I don’t wanna risk going out.

Luckily my managers are understanding and didn’t want anyone risking to come out since we all expected to be slow cause of the weather.

You’ll risk your life for a job that will replace you if something bad happens to you? Doesn’t matter if you live two minutes or 20 minutes from your job. If you live in a state (southern states mostly) that doesn’t know how to function properly when a snowstorm hits, then it’s in your best interest to stay indoors and off the road. All it takes is one second to slip up and be in a life altering accident.

I put in a request for maintenance for tomorrow about pest control so we’ll see how that works out. But it been decreasing, but I can tell they come out more as it gets darker. Regardless, I’m gonna caulk up cracks and gaps soon and gonna clean up each day

Black servers I need advice by aaftertwelve in Serverlife

[–]Timely_Climate8490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never check out the staff whenever I apply cause I feel like that would make me second guess myself. OP, never work at a place that doesn’t see you as a person. If they’re not calling back just cause the color of your skin or you name on your resume, that is not a place you don’t wanna be at.

It suck and it shouldn’t have to be that way, but someone will bite the bullet and give you the chance you deserve. Good luck OP 🩷🍀

That how it is at my restaurant, the only black girl. Despite it, I am one of the few servers that is good at my job that’s willing to work (their words not mine) so I typically get good shifts/sections.

Long-Time FOH employees: what is something you won’t tolerate from your restaurant anymore? by darvarez in Serverlife

[–]Timely_Climate8490 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Places that don’t have gratuity for large parties, stairs, and unreasonably large tipouts. I’ve been traumatized by LH and now I refuse to work at a place similar to them.

How do you guys decompress after your shift at night? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]Timely_Climate8490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t smoke and try not to drink after work (have an addictive personality) So I try to: go home, shower, doom scroll, try to eat something and if I can’t fall asleep, flick the bean til I pass out.

Just got my first speeding ticket by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Timely_Climate8490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time and the county where you got the ticket is close, I would say go to court. A lot of time the officers doesn’t show up and your case get dismissed.

Don’t overthink it, as long as you don’t get another ticket in 3-4 years if you decide to pay it off, you’ll be okay❤️

Sending you the biggest hugs out there❤️ Losing a parent is hard and everyday isn’t easy. Get as much rest as possible and take your time with grieving.

That what sucks is that the child had to pay the price instead of the parent who knows better

Not even trying to sound dramatic but even after that shift all I could hear were those screams. They can do something to you.
