Are they bringing out more pizza?

Questions and Answers:

 Are they bringing out more pizza? Really? Why would you ask that question in the middle of a PIZZA LUNCH BUFFET? Okay, so the pizza bar is empty...yes, we are going to refill it.... When will the dessert pie be out? I have 15 tables right now...Do you really think I know where the dessert pie is in the oven or even if there's one made or not? ? Would you mind getting my salad now? Why, yes..I would love to after I get 20 drinks/refills for my other tables, get salads for the 2 tables sat before you, seat 2 more tables, and then answer 10 other customer's equally ridiculous questions.  Really, why does everyone have to converge on the local pizza buffet on President's Day? Are you really the waitress on today? Yes, I am...now don't you feel bad for me? Actually, most everyone did feel bad for me today. A waitress' consolation prize for running her butt off for 3 hours straight is the most appreciated gift of "pity tips." For those of you who don't know, a pity tip is an overly generous monetary compensation given to a server who wasn't able to give quality service because of the high-demand of his/her services.  Oh, and my favorite question of the day. Is your supervisor who scheduled you here today here as well? No, she's not. Aww, I would've liked to speak to her about this. Oh, don't worry, kind older gentleman, she'll be hearing about today.  Oh, I hope you give it to her good!  LOL Thank you, Sir, for your comedy relief! But, yes, I must've looked really pitiful today, because after I thought I had recovered from the lunch rush, I got a tip at the counter for no reason at all! I quickly determined the weariness and stress was still apparent on my face.

Okay,  I'm going to make myself move past the crazy lunch rush now and onto this:  So, I very rarely get stiffed by tables...(I didn't get stiffed by a single table earlier when I really would've understood if it had happened!) But tonight I thought that this woman with her two sons had decided to do just that! Getting stiffed upsets me so much(I can't help but take it personally) that I don't even want to go near the table to clean it because I feel so insulted.  Then when I finally bused my table, I lifted one of the plates and felt something crunchy and papery underneath. The woman had hid my tip under the plate. I'm assuming so that no one would steal the money? It was a kind thought she had....many people are concerned about theft of tips(myself as well), but I find that most people choose to hand the money directly to the server to prevent theft not hide it under a dirty plate. ::shrugs:: It's a unique anti-theft system, and I'm just glad I didn't get stiffed!
