Boss Jerkitude or Acceptable Behavior?


In this post, I will refrain from saying whom it happened to, you know, to protect the identity of the persons involved and all that jazz. So here goes: anyone who works and who has a boss can probably relate.

What just happened?

The boss comes in to visit the store, and everyone is on his or her best behavior, making sure the place is running just right. This place of work happens to be a restaurant.

The two bosses sit at the server's table, and, of course, the server works extra hard to make sure the dining experience is an impeccable one, even running back and forth to the bar to give the bartender new drink ideas one owner has just come up with.

This was a more stressful server experience than most.

You probably know that servers rely on tips, and the better the service, the better the tip they are likely to get. So, in this case, the server was expecting at least to get the average tip, especially considering the meal was free for the owners.

Imagine the server's surprise and disappointment after ensuring a satisfying dining experience to receive no tip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

The owners provide the job and believe workers should be grateful just to be employed.

  4. You may make a conventional pay, however you additionally should consider how much obligation you convey before you apply for a home credit. Your moneylender will. They utilize a computation called obligation to-salary proportion. http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/09/the-check-thats-in-mail-maybe.html

  5. Think about this: you have to take pride in your job and serve it without expecting anything back. Your bosses would not have to tip you, they are your bosses. They are not cheap, they are the owners, what should they give you a tip when you are already receiving a salary? Take pride in your job, not as something to give and take but as a step in the ladder, for experience, communication and leadership, for future promotion, as a career, not just as a server; someone who prides in serving customers with a good attitude, a great smile and professionalism.
