Chelsea Welch-Fired Applebee's Waitress- Heroic "Statement On Behalf Of Wait Staff Everywhere'

[meeshrox]

38. I pray to dog I'll never have to work in the restaurant business again.

I had enough of that hell in my college years to disrupt my sleep every night (serving in my sleep). That being said, it's strenuous work for little pay and there are plenty of asshats whose attitudes you just have to grin and bear. Now that I am out of college and have a 9-5, I tip above 20% unless the service was poor, then it's 15-20%.

I am glad Chelsea is sharing her experiences and made such a salient point: "But because this person got embarrassed that their selfishness was made public, Applebee’s has made it clear that they would rather lose a dedicated employee than an angry customer."

It's so sad that society in general seems to have such a lack of compassion when these events happen to dedicated employees. Thanks for sharing, kpete!
