Day 7: big tipper!

Day 7: Have you ever had a really great waiter or waitress? Have you ever thought that waiter went above and beyond to take care of me? Today I was at lunch and I had just a waiter. He was really nice. He remembered what I drank last time I was in the restaurant. He stayed on top of getting us drinks. He was just a really great waiter so when he brought me my ticket I made sure to leave an extra tip above what I would normally tip. So here is my beef with some people... Did you know there are people out there who don't think it is required to tip?!?! I unfortunately know some people like this. They think that is there job. What?!?! Yes. To a degree it is there job but do you know what they get paid to do that job? A lot less than some of us in our cushiony office jobs. But they do it. And they do it expecting to earn some sort of tip to make up what they are missing from their salary. It has become somewhat standard to leave at least a 10% tip but I try to do somewhat more. If I can afford to go and sit at a restaurant then I can afford to pay someone to take care of me. I mean going out is a privilege. I am a mom. If we go out then I don't have to cook nor do I have to clean anything up. So the very least I can do is say thank you for not making me cook or clean tonight. Anyways my day 7 was just a simple way to say thank you to my waiter today with a little extra cash. That's day 7.... Come back tomorrow for more good deeds!
