This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is that really what you think is all they do? I've run restaurants and they're like what nurses are to hospitals, the ones doing most of the work. Everything from cleaning the restaurant to stocking everything, keeping the cooks happy and helping in any way they can

No one should really defend tipping. It literally has classist history that was updated from that to a racist history and criminal history.

I don't think you can't pay extra to someone because you liked them or what they did for you. We have whole holidays for gifts but man if people knew the history of tipping and why Europe picked up Americans anti tipping policy once upon a time I think we could move past it.

A little trivia about this monologue: Quinton Tarantino wrote this in the movie as it is his own opinion, but didn't want his own character to say it for fear of backlash at the time. Remember this movie was made before everyone was expecting a tip like they do today.
