they get it from their momma!

most kids learn a lot from their parents. such as driving, political views, mannerism and tipping.... so as long as i have worked at a college bar, just assuming these kids are on a budget or they have never worked in the industry before they really do not tip well... at all!! and when i mean not well i mean they are reaching for their .25 cents from a $4.75 drink..(thanks)  but after this last week and it being graduation weekend, i have now found out they learn it from their parents. so after serving many parents not only food, but drinks as well and them racking up $60 and $75 dollars on a tab, they decide to tip me $5 bucks... that is not even close to 20 %....
i feel like i can no longer be mad at these college kids for not tipping me, i now need to gear  my anger towards their freaking parents... why do people even go out if they cant afford to tip.. really...sometimes i really wish gratuity was added when you order 5 drinks or more....and every time i run a credit card i really need to get payed for that as well.. it is such a pain, especially at the end of the night when you have to add them all and decipher every drunks horrible handwriting,
lesson of the day! tip well. your servers and bartenders will love you way more! and if its me i will treat you way better!
