I got hassled into waiting tables this year for Valentine, but it wasn’t bad. At least no one yelled at me. It was the normal, midwestern, young crowd. 7% tips. Luckily there was good volume to make up for it.

A few things I do not understand about VD:

– Why go to a restaurant that serves alcohol if all you are going to drink is Diet Coke?

– Hey buddy, don’t blow all your money on a gift for your HOT, HOT girlfriend, buy a big dinner, sit for two-hours then tip me 5% (This punk did this to me, and if I ever see him again . . .

– And most importantly, aren’t you out to enjoy each other’s company? Not the waiter? Besides, I’m not that fun anyway.

Thank god I only have to see these people once a year.
