11 3/4

I had a regular give me $100 and the Complete Ella Fitzgerald Songbooks, so about $400.

Now THAT's a great tip and thoughtful too. I'm assuming you like Ella. Did you tell the customer this?

$100 to our driver in Bali

Nope!

This was back in the day when I was too afraid of something like that so I mostly looked. now I'd force him to split me in half

When I worked at Starbucks people would get really generous around the holidays.

Several regulars would give me really nice gifts just for making a latte

Best tips would be:

1. $50 cash
2. $25 Nordstrom gift card
3. $20 Trader Joe's giftcard + free face care products

What's the most you made in a night?

SCNDLS said:

We would talk Jazz for hours every Monday. I still go back there on Monday from time to time and have a drink with him. Cool guy.

Im not even sure we have Taco Bell here

I've never worked for tips but I did get $300 for being misperceived as a worker

I can't remember the biggest tip I gave. I guess it would be percentage based like 40% vs 20% or something like that.

Mars23 said:

That's nice.

Yeah, I liked building relationships with my regulars. I waited in clubs the first time in 1994 after college. But just last week, I ran into an old regular that remembered me by name. I hadn't seen him in over 10 years. I think it should be mandatory for everyone to work in a service capacity at some point in their lives. It really humbles you.

$575 .. Valentines Day is a great time to be waitressing lol

Mars23 said:

One ?uestion,,,,and please take no offence..







































Was benting & spreading your legs after that an option?

SCNDLS said:

Are you jealous because you can't make as much?

Flowers2 said:

Girl, it ain't nuthin' like working and countin' cold hard cash at the end of each night. Direct deposit is so impersonal.

I don't think that would have been turned down, but no.

I was dancing one time @ a club (No, I'm not a stripper) And I was just dancing for fun on the dancefloor, I was not working or anything, with one of my friends... and a tourist who was visiting New York was so taken by my dancing that they gave me a $20 bill



The biggest tip I ever left someone was a 50% tip. A female waiter @ the Magic Johnson T.G.I.Fridays in Ladera Heights, California. She was working really hard and dealing with a lot of rude customers and she was so nice and sweet. My meal was only like $10 but I gave her $5. And my friend also gave her money. We only ordered 2 burgers and gave her a $10 tip combined.

That's awesome!

I used to work @ Abercrombie as a cashier and we got no tips. And I used to work my ass off in those flip flops. lol

Harlepolis said:

Why, Harley? Do you think that's a lot?
I routinely got $400 and $500 tips when I was a waitress and I had a strict policy not to date anyone I met in the clubs. One night, I even made $1500 (most of it came from a single customer with a $4000 tab though) . . . and I kept my clothes on.

I used to hang out with some older gay dudes, and every Tuesday they'd go to a really swanky hotel bar and rack up a thousand dollar tab and they'd kick the waitress about $500 EVERY week.
