| It amazes me how cheap people can be sometimes when it comes to eating out. I talked to my soon to be sister-in-law who works at Outback, and we were discussing how busy today had been since it was Mother's Day. I hoped it would have meant more tips but, nope. $4 on a $36 check (not horrible), but $8 on a $90+ check or my personal favorite $5 on a $103?! Come on! It would have been insulting at 10% but to just leave $5? Why not just leave some pennies or lint out of your pocket? Ok, jumping off of my soapbox now...... carry on.

| That sucks. Sometimes if I dine by myself my tip is just as much as my bill. I bet they just blame it on the gas prices.

| i worked at outback for seven years in mobile and worked a couple of mothers days. the people who never go out to eat crawl out of the sewers on mothers day. i waited tables for a year and was lucky enough to be a bartender the rest of the time. its amazing how during the week nice people eat out and at the bar your getting 5 bucks from one person. waiting tables ya get 5 bucks for six people. outback is still one of the best chains to work at.

| scenerio, moms are being cunts because its mothers day. The husband is aggrevated because she wants to go to outback on the busiest day of the year. He waits for a table for 2 hours with 2 hungry kids. He gets to the table he drinks down a drink like an elephant and doesnt get tea at a split of a second, gets pissed again. His food takes forever because there so busy. He is looken around. even more pissed. So he leaves a shitty tip. Typical. I remember those days in the good resturant industy in my college years

| I honestly believe it should be a crime to pay servers less than minimum wage. I always try to tip commensurate with service received. For an exceptional server, I will gladly leave more than 15%. Last time I was at Road House, I gave a busboy a tip because he had such a great attitude for a young man doing what many deem a menial job. The problem I have is exceptional servers are becoming rare, and I am seeing more who are not even adequate, and I have a hard time rewarding substandard service. That said, I would hate to be in food service on mother's day, and those who have to suffer the ordeal should get hazard pay.
