10. Actually, no. I used to love banquet work

with banquet work, you're guaranteed a standard tip because the host does the tipping, and if any of the guests are rude to you, screw them. If someone snapped their finger and asked for water, no water for them, and no influence on your tip. So these servers knew they'd get their standard 18% or 20% no matter what.

But in a regular dining situation, you are correct. Rich people, especially rich women, are lousy tippers. Construction workers are actually the best.

This has been your Former Waitress Fact of the Day.
