When I waited tables for ten years on and off, lots of other waiters and waitresses gave away free food. They made a killing in tips. No pun intended. :p I never did that. Needless to say, I didn't make as much money as they did. I'm pretty soft-spoken and shy so it was hard for me to stand there and BS with the customers, saying things I didn't mean just to get a tip. It made me sick to hear others do that. But they made the money. I have a hard time being dishonest. My guilt tears me apart inside. Oh, and another thing...Some of the moneymakers were tipping the cooks to put their food out first regardless of when they placed their order. That made me look bad, too. Oh well. Those cooks made good money plus those tips. I already had to tip a bartender and a busboy. Sheesh! I had to pay a sitter for my son. I couldn't afford to be tipping everyone.
