When my wife was waiting tables back in college, she (and her coworkers) always said that the two worst crowds were the Sunday church bunch and old people. (And, unfortunately, the two often went hand-in-hand, making a super awful customer crowd.) The older crowd, in particular, tipped peanuts for real money and never really communicated with the servers. The servers were just kind of there to do their job and chit-chat wasn't needed. Now, millenials, on the other hand, they typically said "Thank you," "ma'am," and 'sir," and gave tips as well.

This is all to say that your construct of a generation's worth by its capacity to yell at people and make them feel worthless is pretty ridiculous.

And you can take my wife's comments (which I also observed for myself as a former restaurant worker) for what their worth, but I doubt you've ever served old people at Louis's in Knoxville.

What a ****ty example to try and make your point

You sound like a *****.

No offense, but I get tired of people like you who get away with constantly criticizing others on the Internet but aren't willing to back it up in real life.

So you served our military. Good for you.

Whoopy-t-whoop.

No, more than likely he's a military vet who expects everyone to bow down to him because he served in the military.

I love our military. I'm an American nationalist. But I despise people who try to use it to gain a one-up on people in an argument.

There's nothing about serving in the military that makes you better than anyone else.

You've never had to serve "the greatest generation," have you?

they definitely have a different value of money, because most went through the depression or heard stories from their parents, so they aren't leaving a $15 dollar tip on a $25 dollar meal

Many of them have earned the right to complain. Seeing what you liberals are doing to the country that so many of them fought and died probably upsets them. And rightly so. Also add to that the fact that getting old sucks. It is the goal, but it sucks. I watched my mother and father go thru aches and pains that made me incredibly sad. It's great that the millenials are saying yes ma'am and no sir. Absolutely wonderful.

Those old people have earned respect. What have you done to earn any?

15 dollar tip? Is that what you think servers expect people to leave them? What a little trash you are.

Good god.

No, I'm talking about people leaving coins for 30-50 dollar meals.

P.S. If you've never worked in the industry, you probably shouldn't attempt to have an opinion on it.

Negative. You probably shouldn't have signed up to get college payed for during a f@xcking war and then gone to war and become a pu##y.

No offense I am sure you served the USA admirably..but I've known plenty like you who were quick to limp wrist when the sh@t hit the fan.

If your working in that industry, and don't like getting coins for tips go to a different restaurant then

The one thing I know from eating out almost everyday, for 20+ years, is it's a transient business, and good servers tend to work in the better restrarants

I'm not necessarily your biggest fan, but this little "we're tougher than you because we're real military" or "we're tougher than you because we work real jobs" crowd is about too much for me.

Like one particular member out of them, they always run silent, run deep when you call them out on their bull****.

And the one thing I know from reading just your two posts is that your a cheapwad *******.

Don't lecture me, you creep. I know more about the service industry than you do.

This is true.

No idea how this thread veered in this direction, but friends/acquaintances in various customer oriented jobs all say that women 60+ are by and large the absolute worst group to deal with, as far as general unpleasantness, lack of appreciation, etc.

What is this trash? Are you serious?

Please don't guilt trip us with your parents. We've all experienced such things.

Hell yeah, it's true.

They're ungrateful little farts, for the most part.

And the whole "greatest generation" thing doesn't explain it. Most of them never had to actually sacrifice for the war. Heck, most "old" people today weren't even alive during the war.

Since you never served, your opinion on military men and women mean nothing. Your words from your post applied to this conversation.

Your wife's opinion on the tipping habits of a handful of older folks at one restaurant are as worthless as you.

You and your wife are not deserving of a tip that may or may not be left by the men and women who may or may not have served in WWII. They certainly don't owe your family anything more.

Since tipping is everything to you, how do you sleep at night knowing our terrible tippers fought the Japanese in the Pacific? That has to leave you ridiculously confused.
