We went to the American Eat Co yesterday, and when we were picking out our table, the busser was extremely helpful with food selection and attentive to clearing our trays, atop of being polite AND genuinely nice. He came around multiple times to check on us, and we were very appreciative. We asked around to see if the tips we leave at the vendors got distributed to the bussers, and apparently they don't. I was a little upset that someone who was so great and helpful hardly made tips because of the turn and burn in what is basically a large food court; hence why no one leaves money on the table in concern someone would take it. I decided to leave the young man a tip in which we handed directly to him. He was grateful & his eyes lit up when he looked down to put it in his pocket and realized it was a $20. He said that was the most he had made in more than 2 months. From someone who made a decent living as a professional bartender and sever for years growing up in the industry, I ask that everyone take into consideration that the service industry is tuff and if you have never worked in it, you don t understand. Please pay it forward and be kind to your servers, bussers and bartenders as (most of) then will break their backs for you to make sure they earn a living. Yesterday was actually my birthday, and making his day actually made mine too. By the way, American Eat Company was a great treat with a wide selection of delicious foods and great prices. If you decide to visit, look for Michael, he ll take great care of you!!
