Yesterday was our first busy Fish Fry in a long time. We finally advertised in a local business magazine and we were packed for 5 hours. I'm upset that I was not paid my 20% from the back dining room. Our servers are under 18 and cannot serve alcohol. That means on top of making drinks for an entire bar up front, I also have to have to make drinks for about 40 people in back. And to make it worse I also have to hand deliver every single one. My tips up front suffer because of this, as I am not up front to socialize or take care of them the way I normally can. Drink waits are much longer, dice games can't be done at all, I can't cash out machines as fast as people are playing them. It all turns into a big mess for me to take care of 60 people by myself. When we began this I was told I would get 20% from the dining room. They stopped that after a month. I don't normally care because we have been fairly slow and people have been low maintenance w/ drink orders. But I feel like I should have gotten my cut yesterday for all the work I did.

Bastards.
