Something to think about the next time you are considering how much to tip your waitress.

This comes to you courtesy of my sister who has worked her entire life as either a waitress or a bartender, and in honor of my mother who raised three children while working as both a waitress and a bartender.

I have only ever once forgotten to tip my waitress. It happened the night of my prom, while eating at the restaurant my mother was working at.

Our waitress was her best friend, and somehow between three couples none of us remembered to leave a tip, even though two of us were working as busboys at the time.

The next morning my mother burst into my room and started yelling at me, telling me that I had made her friend cry because she thought she had done something wrong and that I was mad at her.

I was both horrified and embarrassed.

Needless to say she got her tip, and it was quite generous, I have NEVER once forgotten to leave a tip since.

And I never will.
