Server, waiter, waitress? Welcome home, take off your apron, have a glass, and let's chat about work. This subreddit is for FOH restaurant workers to talk about the jobs, it’s supposed to be an echo chamber. Anti-tipping sentiment is not permitted here and will result in an immediate permanent ban.
