Right in front of my eyes, last night. One girl seems to have, quite literally, taken a tip jar off the bar top. Another two literally emptied a jar right in front of my face.I don't know what I was doing that I couldn't see the jars. Actually, yes I do. I was taking care of people on a part of the bar that completely blocked out the jars.
But still. How did I let that happen? How did WE let that happen?
This probably cost me about 60.00 - and cost all of us who work for and off those tips - about 200.00.
Chump change? Perhaps. But not to the bar back, who works for 10% of our tips - or the busser, who works for 2%.
My inattention to detail cost everyone money.
That's a lot more upsetting than the money I cost myself.

that is awful. I served my fair share of beers in my twenties and we used to fund a 'dine n' dash' funds so that if something like this happened no one really "lost".... on another more positive note this blog is GORGEOUS... love it. Found you through Colonel...
