I have had friends in the US who were waitresses and they had nice bosses and mean bosses. Obviously they prefered to work with nice bosses, but it was the tipping customer who was most important.<br />P.S. your English was fine Francesco, While service may be much better in a small town or in Southern Italy I still think it is not as good as when the server has a stake in the relationship betwwen server and customer.

Where is the difference between each others? Well, I think the first difference is in the boss, that could make a big difference in the service. The second one is in the town or city where you go to the restaurant: in a little town they should be nicer with tourists; in a big city, like Rome, Florence, ..., with lots of tourists, they don't care to miss or lose one or more customers. They could say: who cares?<br />Anyway, I don't like to be bad-treated by the watress too!<br />Bye bye I am sorry for my bad english, but I am italian… it is normal, no?!

Not only are waitstaff dependent on the tips (their 'pay' from the restaurant is usually no more than 2.15/hr) but the WHOLE reason for the job is to garner tips.<br />Personally, I loved being a waitress. Great job if you know what you are doing, and if you are single, which I was at that time, it can be very fruitful for your social life.<br />Thanks for coming by my place!
