answer:I waited tables for several months during college. I didn’t need the money, I was just bored in the evenings and wanted something to do. I know lots of people who think military service should be mandatory. I think the same thing about waiting tables. Gave me a whole new perspective on how completely obtuse people could be towards others. One couple came in with their toddler-aged daughter. They spent the whole meal feeding her chips and cheesy salsa. Sure enough, just before I brought the check, the little girl yakked all over the table, booth and carpet. I was genuinely concerned for her well-being, as well as trying to minimize the obvious embarrassment of both her parents. I took their money and allowed them to make a hasty exit while I cleaned up the still-warm vomit. They tipped me about 5%. Assholes.
