Not sure if you have noticed but there aren’t a lot of black servers in restaurants. I don’t know if it’s because black people are notoriously shitty tippers and they think all people tip similarly OR maybe they feel that waiting on people is simply beneath them. The fact is that black servers are a rarity in real life – rare like a Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat, only not really resembling Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat in any other way.
I’m fairly certain that if there were more black servers, all black people would be easier to wait on. Either they would have experienced waiting on people first hand or might know someone who has. This would give them the insight they need to not treat you like their personal servant and maybe they would even tip you accordingly. It’s just a theory though – we will never know for sure.
With that being said, we do have one black server – token black guy. I’m pretty sure he was hired as a result of affirmative action and now we just keep him around because everyone needs a reason to dust off their black jokes on occasion.
Anyways…
This evening as I was at the computer terminal ringing in a table’s order I witnessed token black guy spilling a drink all over a british guy’s lap. He quickly apologized but the guy still seemed a bit miffed. When token black guy walked away the man said “What a tit.” I walked away laughing to myself.
