A Jersey Shore waitress’ receipt has gone viral after the acronym, “LOL” was placed on the tip line, following a $112 bill, which prompted even the Mayor of Belmar, Matt Doherty to call the lack of tip “ridiculous.”
Jess Jones, a 20-year-old waitress with over five years of experience posted the photo of the receipt on her Facebook account, politely sharing that it was unfair for the party of eight people to rack up over $110 worth of charges and then leave her no tip.
Last night, I was stunned by this receipt that was left for me by a party of eight people,” Jones wrote in the Facebook post. “I would have preferred a ‘$0’ tip than a ‘LOL’ tip, but as a waitress, bad tips and harsh notes are all part of the job. Even though they did wait an hour to eat, they remained satisfied with filled drinks and proper notice that the kitchen was a bit busier than normal. I’ve worked in the service industry for five years and I take pride in providing great service to my customers.
I know how aggravating it is to receive a hefty bill when all night you’ve been wondering why the table that came in after you was served before you. But waiters are mere messengers most of the time, and it’s wrong to shoot them, however bad the news
Knowing that the people of Belmar have money, how would you have responded if you were the Jersey Shore waitress? Raise your hand if the answer was: Heads will be rolling!
