thedailywhat: Terrible Tipper of the Day: Twitter @FutureExBanker says (by way of Eater): “my jerk boss tips exactly 1%” because he loathes the 99%.” He also apparently felt the need to tell True Food Kitchen server Breanna to “get a real job.”  I think it’s high time someone occupied his ass with their foot. [eater.] This is disgusting.  Having worked in the restaurant industry for many years to pay for college, $400 shoes, RENT, a new car, etc; I have seen MANY of these guys-but never gotten something this bad.  Honestly, if he had stiffed the poor waitress, she would have been less offended and just thought he was a jerk.  Heaven help him, if say his nice little job with a corporate card (YEAH, I’m assuming, so sue me) fell through and he had to support his family…by working in the restaurant industry. A long time ago, I lamented to one of my best friends that I was ready for “a real job” and I didn’t want to bartend anymore.  Her answer is one of the smartest things I had ever heard-that really puts all walks of life into perspective: A real job is a job that pays the bills.  Whether you are a line cook, bartender, server or manager-the restaurant industry is nothing to look down upon.  It’s where some of the most famous entrepreneurs have started, where some of the greatest minds in culinary arts have developed from.  It’s where I learned how to run a business, manage people, manage expectations, and just have a nice conversation with human beings from all walks of life while able to look them in the face-which is more than I can say for most people. The service industry taught me more than college ever could have-it’s kind of like the military in that way.  Yeah, I’m not defending my country, nor am I comparing it to that. I’m saying there are lessons learned that only come along with the discipline and engagement of a few industries out there-SIN being one of them. I worked in restaurants and bars in a small, little known (LOL) town (city?) of Raleigh, NC.  It would take FOUR hands to count all of my friends that I worked with that now own their own restaurants (6), businesses, wrote books, went to grad school, save lives in the NICU of DUKE, etc. etc. I’ve got a tip for that guy, and it wasn’t even my table. But I’m too polite to write it here.  I’m sure you all can figure it out.
