pent up anger about tipping

****ing restauartant owners won't pay wait staff adequate wages
and
customers are supposed to carry the cost of this rip off ???

****ing wait people and restaurant business are to sastify the
paying cusomers - not the other way arouind

you want our business you make us happy

if I (the customer) is expected to pay the difference between
an adequate livingw wage and what the restaurants will pay
then I expect gratitiude and excellent service
plus
If I'm not happy then I should be able to fire the son of a bitches
who don't make me happy

****ing assholes who expect me to make up for what the owners
won't pay had better grow up and get their ****ing attitudes
straightened out

</warning>

pan "you get what I think you deserve"
