96 dollars and 56 cents

What I made in tips last night for four hours of work.

I just waitress now. The restaurant is a buffet; all I have to do is take drink orders, refill drinks (the only catch: you have to remember what people are drinking--you can't give a woman water when she was drinking Sprite 'cause she won't like that) and clear dirty plates.

The job requires me to be open: I never know what I'm going to end up with. I've had a two-person table leave me $4, but an 8-person table leave me 6. Once I forgot about a couple sitting in the back, but I joked with them and made the situation okay, and they gave me $5.

There are some days I 'm working my ass off; most days I'm just working my ass.
