Surely this didn't slip by you guys during Peytonfest


RALEIGH, N.C. — A waiter at a steakhouse in Raleigh was fired after he posted a receipt that showed Peyton Manning left a $200 tip at a restaurant near Duke University.
The receipt from the Angus Barn in Raleigh shows Manning left a $200 tip for a $739.58 tab that included 18% gratuity. The receipt was dated March 2nd.
Earlier that day Manning was filmed throwing on campus at Duke University.
According to NBC17, the photo of the signed receipt was first posted on Facebook. The owner of the Angus Barn, Van Eure, was not pleased and fired the server, according to the Triangle Business Journal.
“This goes against every policy we have,” said Eure. “It’s just horrible.”

(He apparently had plans to see a movie.) And, unfortunately, I encounter these individuals all too often while working as a server. While it seems simplistic on the service, (that's actually why I applied for the job.) it's actually quite a demanding and draining line of work.

However, for all of its drawbacks, overall, I've found the job to be incredibly rewarding. For every unreasonable customer, there are at least five others who definitely make the job worthwhile. I have now spent over a year serving at Village Inn and Applebees, and I plan to work at the latter throughout my time at the University of Kansas.

Moneywise, I cannot complain either, I make more in a day at Applebees than I did over an entire week at Little Caesars. (Now that job was truly horrendous.)

Nobody has the right to grab you by the elbow or touch you in any other way. How some people don't understand that a server's revenge is visited upon them unawares is beyond me.
Good on you for working your way through school.

I'd definitely be a patron of such an establishment

Rofl, You're one of the few, I have seen guys leave 10-20 dollar tips a waitress flirted with them. Our most attractive girl at Applebees, (In my opinion), would often walk out with over $100 a night.

In fact, at Village Inn, we had an old geezer who slip our waitresses a fifty if they allowed him to hug them, (and grope them in the process). Man, I am unsure if I can describe the devastation on his expression when he saw me sauntering up to his table, (the waitresses always gave him to me.) For what it's worth, he did leave me five dollars. (Andm he didn't even ask for a hug!)

You deserve every penny you make, it's not an easy job to be pleasant when people are assholes.
