1) This younger (hispanic) guy and his mom, for a late lunch after Christmas shopping… I had told them to be kind to me since they were my first table in over a decade, and they left a $10 tip with note saying “10 dollars for 10 years of good luck” or the like.
2) With this one (older) (black)
lady, her son, her granddaughter, and the granddaughter’s 2 kids, also in for a
late lunch after Christmas shopping, I got the 2 women to get half-price
brightly-colored fruity martinis, and then I tried to get them to get seconds.
“All the goodness half the price, what’s not to like about that?”, I said, and the (older) (black) lady liked that.
Also, although
she wasn’t technically my customer, one other customer at the bar was this
(older) (hispanic) lady in a silver sequined Santa hit, who got loaded on
half-price martinis.
I
complimented her on the hat, and we chit-chatted in between my customers.
The
restaurant was overstaffed and I was cut early since I was one of the people
working a double, but I only got one table on the second half of my shift,
which brought my wages down to just below minimum wage, I think, though all my tips were over 20%.
Oh
well, that will get worked out in the future, I bet, to where there's less people and I start getting like $15 an hour at least for every shift, when you average it out.
