'Maybe the problem is you': Experienced restaurant employee roasts servers that complain about bad tips, sparking debate about what makes a good waiter

Everyone's been to a restaurant before where they had a terrible server. You saw them flirting with the hostess, loitering around the bar, and rolling their eyes when you asked them to split the bill. Not to mention, they've neglected your table for 20 minutes, while you were starving and ready to order. Restaurant goers are faced with a tough decision– to tip or not to tip? Obviously, in America, the social pressure of tipping is strong… even for the worst service of your life. But at what point is a waiter so terrible that they don't even deserve 10% of your bill? Besides, those waiters or waitresses are 100% going to be the ones who complain about their guests being bad tippers when, in fact, they are the problem.

In this case, an experienced restaurant employee weighed in on this conundrum. Any server who complains about making <20% in tips throughout the night might have a bigger problem than just bad luck with their parties. Perhaps it's time for those lazy servers to take a good hard look in the mirror.
