cosmicav I'm sorry! I worked in fine dining while in school and Valentine's is the most exhausting holiday! I hope you feel better tomorrow.
We had a quiet day at home, trying to keep DS from over doing it. He likes to ignore he's sick and then a few hours later is positively miserable. DH thinks he's getting sick. We had a quiet birthday party at home. DS loved his rainbow cake.
I'm so angry because I waitressed this morning for Valentine's Day and I had a table completely stiff me! Their bill was $73, (my largest bill of my shift), and they didn't leave me a damn thing! I gave up my Valentine's Day to be at that damn restaurant, basically killed my back and feet running around constantly, and these assholes didn't leave me a cent! I didn't even get a chance to sit all shift! I'm so frustrated! My husband is going to give me a massage with no expectation of sex, so hopefully that helps improve my rage ...lol.
I only make about $2 an hour; I rely on tips! Please for the love of God tip your servers!. Especially if they are visibly pregnant
That is fucked up, I'm sorry. I've tipped really shitty before but I've never left nothing. I can't imagine doing that to a pregnant woman on a holiday. I hope you enjoy your massage!
Thanks for the support, you guys! I'm trying to be positive, since it was only the one table that did that--but that was just so rude and uncalled for! UGHHH. Still makes me mad! I'm finally sitting down now though, so that helps make everything better lol. I'm totally not getting up for the rest of the night (unless it's to pee lol). I cannot wait to stop waiting tables!

That's so frustrating, I'm sorry! My attitude and strong opinion is that if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out. Especially on a busy restaurant day like Valentine's Day! Tipping is just part of the cost. And I've never personally had a job where tipping was a part of my income, but I have so much respect for those who do.

Im so sorry! I had this happen to me when I worked at a diner. The check was over $100 (family of five, appetizers, dinner, and desserts) and the guy left me a quarter. A whole 25 cents on a check that big. On top of that, they took up my table for two hours, stayed after closing, and were rude. I followed them out of the restaurant and told the man to his face that if he ever came in to eat there again, that he better not sit in my section. I should have been a little more mature about it, but that's horrible to do to someone! I mean, they obviously had the money (and I was 18 and dumb!)

I so wish I had the guts to do that though! Lol I will have to live vicariously though that story, I bet that was soo satisfying People really suck sometimes, that is for damn sure!

I also "accidentally" spilled a drink on an asshole customer once too. He was very degrading and kept making rude comments about women. I used to have a very short fuse before I had my daughter. It's good that you took the high road though. It takes a lot of strength to hold your tongue when things like that happen!

It's stuff like this that makes me not miss being a waitress. I used to work in the fine dining restaurant in our local casino, and there was a dude we called "Detroit Tony", a 75 year old, obnoxious, high rolling drunk. One time he came in and paid with his "points" (accumulated by playing in the casino and was like cash) and paid for another table in my sections dinner as well. Detroit Tony got so drunk he forgot to tip me on his $150 bill and the other table tipped me $5 on their $100 bill that they got for free. SO PISSED!

Well, it sounds like he deserved that One time I "forgot" someone's extra ranch dressing, but that's about the extent of my ballsiness lol

I would have cried.
I did, especially because we worked in teams (the restaurant was a really different concept) and I had to spilt that $5 with my partner.

UGHHH that is awful. (I love titted this in solidarity, not because I love that it happened)
cosmicav, I get pissed when people forget my extra ranch. Especially when it's with a salad and I'm trying to pretend to eat healthy. Can't do it without a bottle of dressing sunshyneshay, that makes it a million times worse. I used to get upset about having to give the hostess 10%... I couldn't imagine having to split 50/50.

We did each do 50% of the work and it was fine dining so the bills were always significantly higher than a normal restaurant too so it made up for it.

That makes sense then. I worked at a hole in the walk diner, and we just split the place into 4 sections. Each of us took 6 tables. Then on Sundays we had two hostesses. We have them 10% each (I usually pulled about $200 to $300 on Sundays), but they didn't do anything, so it sucked.
bwisco123 I'm sorry. I almost hate holidays like this because I feel like they never go as expected and there's all this hype and pressure to have an amazing day and it always falls short. At least in my experience.
I just got the most wonderful mani pedi. The place I go moved locations and the new salon is adorable. They were so excited. I feel so much better after a little Tlc. It's been so mode here the past week I'm think I'll even be able to wear sandals and show off my cute toes.
Happy Valentines everyone. I hope your days were great and filled with love.
I've noticed this too. I haven't been eating much at all this pg. I get starving eat a little bit and feel stuffed. I get heartburn out of nowhere. Like after eating and orange or hours after I eat. It's bizarre.
I wanted to watch Gone Girl and H just told me just to rent it On Demand. They only had it to buy and it was $11.99. I don't want to buy it! I'm going to try some puppy eyes and see if H will run to the Redbox for me.

I think this is one of the thigs that sucks about Valentine's Day because people who don't normally go out to eat do and they don't understand restaurant etiquette. Sorry about your day.

I went to get it tonight, and they were out at all the Redboxes, and the movie store. I ended up getting the Maze Runner.

You still have a movie store?! I thought those were all extinct. We just have Redboxes everywhere now. H just went to 7-11 to look for it. FX he cones back with that movie or something else good!

How was Maze Runner?
We have a family video. 1.99 for five nights And I haven't watched it yet. My brother told me I shouldn't watch it alone. I don't know what that means, but I scare easily, so if rather not find out!
