How funny. You, as a server, have the 'right' to post your opinions, but, others do not? I thought your post was incredibly insulting. It made me think that I would not want to be waited on you, as you would 'expect' something that wasn't required.

I work in the service industry. All day long. I wouldn't dictate to others how they 'must' treat me. They are paying me for a service, and, I deliver. I would LOVE to charge double for a rush job, working after 7 pm, or on the weekend. Love to. But, that isn't how it is done. If someone likes the quality of my work, they return. If not, they go somewhere else. The customer, or client, or patient, however you want to term it, leads the way.

It is all about the service. Want a tip? Do a good job. Don't care about tips? Then, neither of us will be disappointed.

And, in the future, you might want to reconsider taking some poster's comments so personal. You already said it wasn't 'your' post, just something you were passing along. I was speaking in the general sense when I said you (as in, you, the server-unnamed) should be in a different profession. Even still, I wouldn't care a rat's butt if you thought I should be a lawyer or not. That is kind of silly, isn't it?
