My job.

I work in a resturant called Applebee's as a server. I won't begin to explain the stress I go through as a waitress, but I will write about a specific time from my last shift that got me angry with one of my fellow servers. I was persistently serving two tables, when a table that was not mine called me over and asked me to get their server because they needed their check. I told them, "Absolutely, your server will be right over." I told the server, and her response was "it's ok, their indian, they aren't going to tip anyway."
Immediately I defended my position explaining just because someone is a certain race does not mean you can judge them like that. I feel I get tips based on my service and I always do my job to my highest potential. I haven't gotten bad tips from all different races, and good tips from different races. The amount of racism that goes on at a restaurant is unbelievable. I will be posting many more incidences in this blog.
