14 insurance salesman from Kansas City.
2 female servers.
It's on.
I see nothing wrong with using feminine powers to get a better tip.
"Hello gentlemen! My name is Lindsay, and this is Minnesota....and we'll take great care of you tonight! Now, what are we drinkin'?"
Serious amounts of flirtatious laughter and batting eyelashes later, we'd gotten their bill up to about $550 when one of the salesman informs me they need individual checks.
FML.
Since we were kinda slow that night, my manager ok'd it, especially since I worked it out that I couldn't split their alcohol by who drank what...we'd just split the total by 14 and add gratuity.
14 credit cards later, they were all paid out (and no one else could find a check presenter) and we were thanking them for coming in!
"You could buy yourself a new car with that tip!"
Sorry Mr. Insurance Man, but $91 doesn't go that far when you split it amongst SIX people.
Thanks for making my week night a bit more interesting, though!
I've noticed a lot of 9-to-5'ers have no idea what we are accustomed to making as servers. Don't they know I wouldn't be able to afford make-up and hygiene products if everyone tipped like a self centered a-hole?
