100% me too.
I knew when I wasn't going to get tipped but these were also the people that were going to make my night a living nightmare if I gave them "racist" service...so I'd just go above and beyond and be polite as you could ever be and moved on...and in all reality, black people I waited on LOVED me...and it's easier to bullshit with black people because they are generally FRIENDLIER to strangers/waitstaff then your typical rich white business guy who wants you to leave them the **** alone and get them their ****ing food.
I used to hate the ****ing waiters/waitresses I worked with that table dodged these people because I was ALWAYS stuck with them because I found it ridiculous no one would wait on them and it was just so ridiculously noticeably racist...oh gee, this white table sat down 5 minutes after us and they are already getting waited on and 10 people have walked by us?
I used to have HUGE ****ING MELTDOWNS in the back of house over this shit. People I worked with knew when to stay the **** out of my way...they were epic. I would go into attack mode and attack every server/manager I had an issue with and it got to the point where everyone knew just to "let it go" because I was good for about one major "attack your entire life" meltdown per weekend.
