36. Yeah, that is the same situation I had. I worked at a diner at a truck stop and the senior

waitresses didn't want to wait on people of color because they said they didn't tip or were cheap tippers.

This was in the late 1980s and 1990s. I worked there for 10 years.

When I was hired, I was the youngest server they ever hired (just turned 18). They didn't like to hire younger women because the truckers could be pretty crass (I used to get my ass and bosom grabbed like 20 times each shift) and management didn't want the trouble.

However, I just happened to apply on a day that several waitresses quit and they were desperate and wanted me to start the same night.

A lot of the older waitresses were really rude to some guests so I'm sure their tips were low for that reason.

There was a lot of racism back then and I know it's probably still going on today in many restaurants.
