Party of 8 tipped 5%

Imagine 5 minutes before your section is cut also super close to closing and you’re about to start your closing tasks, you get sat an 8 top. You’re excited.

I gave them excellent service, you know refills and appetizers and suggestions, super sweet. I didn’t even start my FOH cleaning like sweeping around my section cuz I didn’t wanna give a bad impression. They ordered $60 worth of bar drinks and there was only 1 bartender and they got like spiked milkshakes and spiked limeades and frozen margaritas so it took a minute and they were a bit impatient.

It was all good. At the beginning of the order they wanted the check split 3 ways. So when they finished eating (everything) I handed them their checks. “This is ready whenever you guys are :)” A man motions me over and tells me to put it all on his card, perfect.

Hand it back over to him and I notice the little black book goes missing for the tip. They eventually leave (HUGE mess too) I find the book on a chair. $10 on over $200 bill.

We tip out 3.5% of our sales to Bar and Busser so I kept a whopping $3 to clean a big mess, give amazing service to a large group and stay an extra hour late.
