Question: I want the source of this quote from a work of fiction: “In spite of his friend Queenie’s patient explanation
of tangents, secants and sines, he had never had a really firm grasp of the principles of spherical trigonometry; his navigation had been a plain rule-of-thumb progress from A to B, plane-sailing at its plainest.”

Question: Why do African American’s generally not tip? This is NOT BEING RACIST, I want just want answers?
Again, I am in no way, shape or form racist. I was a server for 2 years, and 8 out of 10 times I would either get completely stiffed by blacks or get a very small tip after being ran back and forth ragged, sometimes even breaking a sweat for them. I have done a little researching and I am seeing a lot of this – “well, since you think blacks don’t tip well, you don’t give them as good as service as whites, so they don’t think you deserve it” WRONG! I always gave everyone the same amount of service, no matter what nationality they were, and still got stiffed by them. I’m not saying it is only blacks that stiff, I have gotten stiffed by everyone at times, but by blacks WAY more. I was also a top server in every restaurant I worked, literally, when I put in my notice, they begged me to stay.

For the ignorant – Stop with this “get another job if you think you deserve to be tipped” “Restaurants need to pay their employees a real rage so patrons don’t have to tip”

Do you have any idea how much food prices would go up if they pay their employees a “real” wage and how much worse your service would get? Tipping in this country is part of the price of going out, if you can afford to go out and eat, you can afford to tip. If you can’t afford to tip, stay home. Servers remember who tips poorly and if you return, no one will want to wait on you and you WILL get terrible service for whoever gets the “privilege” to , plus there is no telling what would come out of the kitchen to you.

Another thing, if you are one of those non tippers, most servers have to actually PAY OUT OF THEIR POCKET to wait on you. Why? Because most servers have to tip out a percentage of their sales to hostesses, bartenders and bussers. So, if you go out and, say your bill is $ 100 and you decide to stiff your server, the average tip out is around 5%. The server has to PAY $ 5 to wait on YOU.

I won’t write anymore, except for another reminder that I AM NOT RACIST, I am stating a stereotypical FACT. I just want answers and what everyone else thinks and has to say.
I didn’t say all blacks don’t tip, I have gotten some great tips from blacks and I have a lot of black friends that tip. It is a fact that a lot of times, they don’t tip. Colleges have even done research on it, research it if you don’t believe me.

Answer:

Answer by .F.U.C.K.
The definition of a “racist” is:

a person who isolates/calls out a race for a particular reason.

So, technically, you ARE a f.uc.king racist.

When I get older, I want to be a fiction/realistic fiction writer. What would be the best college for me to attend?

Tagged with:
 

My first choice is to be an actress, but obviously I have to have a backup, and if I can’t act, I would love to edit books. You’d think I’d have to major in publishing, but it isn’t an option on a lot of lists of majors on scholarship websites. What else could I major in to become an editor of fiction books?
