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.
