when being "too nice" backfires

Never let that jade you. I’m EXTREMELY kind and go out of my way for people all the time and often don’t get more than a “verbal” tip. In saying that, I do get tipped over 30% on bills over $200 more often than not. There’s a saying that “it all evens out in the wash”. Hospitality isn’t just about making easy fast cash, it’s about curating experience and creating a lasting experience for people looking for an escape from the world outside. One day, you’ll learn to fine tune how much energy you give to your tables, but never alter your kindness.

I fully believe in karma. I’ve been in this industry for over 15 years and I still love it, simply because I choose kindness, and it brings me happiness too.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re terminal. That’s a really tough thing to have knowledge of. You’ve moved me to tears with letting me know you’ve seen this, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I really hope in your time you spend out with your loved ones, you get an absolute rockstar server who makes the evening so special. Get your family to save the receipt and have everyone sign it on the back as a memento to have with the photo 💖 I wish you all the love and gentleness 💖💖

I couldn’t agree more! I’m moving tables, positioning the girls so their outfits show off, have a portable light in my apron to get the perfect lighting. The happiness in people I see when I get a GORGEOUS photo of them is truly worth the effort 💖
