Dear Abby you printed a letter from a a Tony a wife a the waiters spouse who complained about a party who came in near closing time and sat around for a very Long time a giving no consideration whatsoever to the waiter. This was a five Star restaurant i am a business executive now but i worked As a waiter for a Long time so i feel qualified to comment. No one walks into a five Star restaurant for a a Quick at those prices the customers usually linger for a Long time. Tony a wife said the Check was presented Long before the party was ready to leave a hoping they would take the hint. Abby this is unacceptable in a Fine restaurant. Tony a wife also complained about the 12 percent tip saying it should have been 20 percent. How can she make that judgment that a the customers decision. Besides 12 percent is not a bad tip i always considered 10 to 15 percent from a customer to be Normal. When i Dine in a Fine restaurant i done to concern myself with How Long the waiter has been there or dear Abby the fact that he May have an Early morning class. I just want Good service and i tip accordingly. As a waiter i welcomed the late stragglers even though i had to get up Early for my Day Job. I would then pamper those diners As much As they would let me which was easy to do after the crowd was gone. I wanted those customers to come Back and ask for me to serve their table. That show a Good waiter earns big tips. If Tony a attitude is the same As his wife she a probably in the wrong Job. Been on both sides of the table dear been in a sure you were a Fine waiter a and Are undo Tab by an equally Fine businessman. Serving the Public in any capacity is no piece of cake but its a valuable learning experience. Where else can one learn More about the value of patience self control and humility dear Abby High school class reunion committees Are constantly searching for members of their graduation class with whom they have lost Contact Over the years. I have personally spent Many hours making phone Calls and writing letters in an Effort to locate classmates and Alert them to their class reunion. Abby if readers who have lost Contact with their classmates would simply Send a postcard or letter with their name address and year of graduation to the High school from which they graduated Contact could be reestablished. Anybody who has experienced the Joy of a High school reunion will understand Why we continue the search. I assure you that Many reunion committees will Welcome your help in locating these former classmates. Leonard a. Portzline West Fairview a. Dear Leonard great idea. Readers address your cards or letters to a the principal of Good old a Hackensack High a or whatever the name is. Dear Abby pm a 25-year-old female who enjoys jogging.
