Tuesday, May 21, is National Waitress Day. Your neighborhood restaurant waitress is on her feet all day long working long hours. She has to take and deliver meal orders, follow up to make sure your meal is up to expectations, refill your coffee, tea or water glass, box any leftovers you want to take home, and prepare the check — all with a smile and friendly disposition.
On this day, why not show your appreciation and honor your favorite waitress? Leave a 25% tip against the total bill including taxes. Remember that they usually have to share the tips with the bus boys. Drop off some flowers, a box of candy, or some cookies as well.
