Years of memories（三）

Here to mention my boss and boss wife, boss is a very serious / stern / strict, I spent three strict, to express my until today still remain in the memory of his impression. I did at this restaurant for nearly a year, never to see him laugh, he's critical of food raw materials, almost harsh; on the requirements of food processing methods, never sloppy, consistent use of seasonings, such as his dish out to the front end, when everything is almost perfect; proprietress in great shape, well-dressed, always in the foreground greet customers, guests entered, in a timely manner with a few homely chat with customers, many regular customers, she would remember the name. Boss wife is from Taiwan did, know that our hard work, often thought to take care of us, refused to tip for the guests, she would tell the guests, mainly rely on tips from the station of life; here to talk about the rules of the United States restaurants, usually the price on the restaurant menu, but the price of food itself, when after a meal afterwards, plus the consumption tax and 15% -18% of the tip, tip from the station is part of the service fees, including a guest on the drinks, the meal add water, add wine, billing, etc. In short, the guests sat down, and everything from the station to serve; then the buffet shop, since Taiwan is only responsible for the beverage, Tim drinks, received the guests eat the plate, billing; guests to their dining table to take his / her favorite foods, so the ratio of the small tip, usually a dollar a person, when there are more than six guests at one table, the proprietress will be charged 15% tip, to prevent guests "Strike" - is not a tip, said up "blacksmith", and restaurant workers in the United States fought a friend will surely come across because the tip is given voluntarily, there will always be thick-skinned guests enjoy the services refused to pay the tip, the so-called big woods, what birds are.

As the restaurant business very well, and my hard work, it earned a good tip, when the sister and the Ins and Outs of three Guangdong cities in several other sister here with me working, but also because the boss is tough, we are all striving work, relations got along well and help each other take care of each other's guests, and sometimes we take "fighting communism" in the form of cooperation, meaning that each station is responsible to take care of the store from customers, tips received by all of the starting platform Finally with the split. But I always tell myself, today, working in a restaurant, not my purpose to the United States, this is only a means now I can survive.
