Little Waitressing Rant (WARNING contains whining, Read at your own risk)

So I really do love my job a lot, but on a night like tonight I don't love the general public population. I just am going to rant and rage for a little minute and hope that it makes me feel better. Number one, If you don't want to deal with people then don't go out to eat. I am so sick of the people that just seem pissed that I am talking to them. If I can put on a fake smile through sore feet, and a tired back then you can at least be decent to the person who is serving your food.  Number two, If you have good service the tip you leave should reflect that. If you are going out to eat in the state of Utah it is more than likely that your server is being paid $2.13 AN HOUR!! Waiters and Waitresses are living off of your tips, the majority of us never see a pay check due to taxes. If you have a good server then don't leave them a two dollar tip even if it is a ten dollar check. I read somewhere that the lowest amount that should ever be left for a table is $5. I realize this is unrealistic because we live in Utah and people are cheap but it's nice to dream. Number three, and the last thing I want to rant about. Do not fight over the check like children, it is unfair to your server and not a problem they should have to deal with. If you can not handle this problem in a discreet manner then LET IT GO!! Is it really that terrible to allow someone to buy your dinner? Ok, that's all. I'll get off my little soap box now. Have a great rest of your day :)
