No really, nothing anyone can do is going to get me in a bad mood. At least…that’s what the plan is.
This weekend has been pure and utter Hell, dealing with the trash that’s seemed to come straight from the crack house, so I figure today has GOT to be different. It can’t be all bad, 100% of the time, so tonight, no matter what people do to me, I’m going to stay in a good mood. At least on the surface.
This weekend has really made me think though…I bluster on and on about how I’m not a racist, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m just fooling myself. All weekend I wanted to slaughter my guests, and 90% of them were ghetto black folks. Don’t get me wrong, there were some white and Hispanic guests there too, but it was mostly Black-Americans that were treating everyone like shit, even the black servers. Nobody made money this weekend, and we all wondered why. We all treated these guests the same as anyone else, I even had fun with a bunch of them. It didn’t matter, they still didn’t want to tip.
Enough of this, I’m already putting myself in a bad mood. It’s going to be different tonight. All the Memphis and TSU people have gone home, and we’re going to have our normal ghetto trash, the ghetto trash that we’re used to. We’ll have our normal rednecks and hicks, the ones who come in for a race and leave 2 days later after drinking a few cases of Bud.
And we’ll make the normal decent money we make on a Sunday.
I’ve been told that next month, TSU is going to have another event at our establishment like they did last year for the Homecoming fiasco. If this is the case, you can count me out. I’m already planning on refusing to work their Homecoming event this fall, when they buy the building out again. I had enough of that shit the first time around, and if I ever get spit on again, I’m going to end up in jail.
I’m probably going to have another “Stupid Names” post up tonight, after this weekend I have plenty to spare.
Please come back soon, and enjoy what I have to offer. RagingPartner will soon have a new blog up, something to do with Hotels, and we’ll have that to share with you.

No, you are not a racist — at least not in the classical sense of the term. But, through life’s experiences and dealing with africans on a regular basis, you are coming to realize that there *are* GENUINE differences between the races.

I don’t think you are racist. You don’t hate those people until they have shown your their attitude. You don’t hate them because they are black- you give them a chance before you make your decision. If you were truly racist, you wouldn’t be able to serve any black person.
I grew up in a town where the KKK is still very active. You seem very different than most of the true racists I know.

Yesh! Raging Server I think you are being racist….
Lets say groups of black people consistently give few tips. How do you not know this is a cultural thing?
There are no characteristics or behaviours inherent in any race. In many ways we are a product of our upbringing. These guys are probably not used to tipping because its something their culture does not encourage.
Not all black people have a shared culture so you cannot predict how the next black person will act with certainty. However, experience probably tells you they wont tip. That doesnt mean there’s something wrong with the race it means there’s something wrong with this shared culture (in your opinion).
I am sure there are plenty of white ghetto folk who never tip. Have you thought to consider this is a ghetto mentality and not a racial mentality?

Your not one bit racist. I have to deal with the same type of people every night I work and what you describe is exactly how they act here. No joke, there is not one single difference. I’m in Chicago and we got our fare share of “minorites”, but these just seem to stick right out and they want to be known.
