ugh i hate this. my dad is also going deaf and refuses to wear his hearing aid, so most of the time he can't hear the server and is basically yelltalking at them in an attempt to be jovial. i like going out to eat with my parents because free food, but everything else about it is really embarrassing. neither of them ever worked in a restaurant so they have no idea how any of it works. my dad will tip badly for things are not always the waitstaff's fault, and in many restaurants his stingy-ass tip wouldn't even be going to the people who fucked up in the first place

there are so many places in a restaurant where your experience can hit a snag, and it can be the fault of the customer, the host, the server, the bartender, the cook(s), the manager... i know in the restaurant i worked, tips were only split among servers, the bartender, and the busboy, so if the host or the cooks messed up it's not like tipping badly penalized them in any way -- it mostly just screwed over servers that were making 3.14 an hour. in a country where a lot of restaurant staff make like 1/3 of minimum wage and rely on tips for the bulk of their income, i kind of feel like everybody should work in a restaurant for six months so they can chill the fuck out and learn to tip and not be assholes

sorry for the novella i just have so many feelings always. smfh. i can't even watch curb because the secondhand embarrassment gives me goddamn chest pain, sorry to this man
