Waiter Rant has a great post today of some simple truths about being a waiter. Go read them all, but here are some of my favorites:
If the customer says “You’re the best waiter I’ve ever had” – your tip is sure to be shit.
Anyone who wants a table a half hour before closing is an asshole.
Customers can’t tell the difference between Absolut and Grey Goose.
A customer who smells the cork is an amateur.
Serve Decaf – to everybody.
Coke head waiters work their entire shift. The Potheads always want to leave early. The Crackheads bolt as soon as they get their first cash tip.
Some really good stuff.

asshole
