Comp'd Tabs

Hello! It's been a while but I've been steaming on this topic. There are people who frequent the establishment I work at often. They get special treatment for being good customers. Occasionally, they get amazing treatment... case in point was last Wednesday...

This couple comes in all the time. They are fabulous customers. They drink good cocktails. They are not high maintenance. They understand when the bar is busy and are patient.

Then they received a comp'd tab. Free cocktails for an entire evening! Oh, yes!! They were very happy about this! So, they drank it up and had a fabulous time. Then at the end of the night they gave me a wave and headed out the door... without a SINGLE TIP!!!

They drank all night for absolutely NOTHING (not expecting to drink free all night) and they tipped me not a single penny. ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?

Okay, so this is BAD BAR BEHAVIOUR! Take notes, boys and girls. This is wrong. I worked very hard all night serving them their drinks and shots and making sure they had a good time. Shouldn't I have been given a little something for my efforts? I think so!

Working hard for my money,
