    In the Shoes of a Server

    • 840 Words

    The clattering of plates and the clicking of heels on a tile floor are the white noise of the restaurant. Kitchen partners rush to get the next salad ready, the next steak cooking. The expeditors keep the restaurant working smoothly, the source of communication between the front of the house and the kitchen. A business partner shouts “Corner!” as she rounds the bend between the kitchen and the hallway leading to the general area of the restaurant. Two servers see each other for the first time during their shift and exchange a quick “How are you?” without stopping long enough to hear the reply of their co-worker. A manager explains the goals of the evening to a group of distracted employees in the pass-through, watching a rush of customers enter through the double glass doors. The restaurant lifestyle is a unique discourse with success resulting from the quality of customer service and understanding the value of time-saving efficiency.…

    At the Gym

    • 832 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In the poem “At the Gym” Mark Doty is giving a description of a person at the gym that is about to lift weights. The description uses terms that can be commonly used in describing the gym environment to give a deeper meaning to the life that we lead as human beings. The metaphors that are used to relay the message are a salt-stain spot, the vinyl bench, the weights being lifted, and the actual gym. Taking a closer look at the meaning of the poem can provide insight on our own life as to why we lead the life we lead. What is the true meaning on why we do things? Do we do things to be righteous or unselfish? Or is it that we do things to prove arrogance and selfishness? I believe the author, Mark Doty, is asking the simple question “Why is it that you live the way you do and what legacy will you leave behind?…

    In the Heat of the Night

    • 545 Words
    • 16 Pages

    The novel “In the Heat of the Night” introduces the reader to two characters, Virgil Tibbs and Bill Gillespie. Virgil Tibbs is a homicide detective at the Pasadena Police department, and Bill Gillespie is the Chief of Police for Wells County. In the novel they are shown as two completely opposite characters whose personalities differ almost completely. The basic aspect of the novel is how during the 1960’s people in the south underwent severe racism and prejudice. The novel also depicts how because of those racial tensions the way these two characters interact with each other and how that is evident. In the beginning of the novel we are introduced to Virgil Tibbs. He is shown as a wealthy, highly educated, and confident young African American. Virgil Tibbs is introduced to us as a prime suspect for the murder of Enrico Mantoli. Soon after we are presented that Tibbs is an officer and that is a shock to Gillespie. Virgil Tibbs is a very well educated man, who is calm and patient with others. An example of this would be when Gillespie is angry or disturbed by Tibbs actions, he acts very calm and does not ever get angry. Despite all the hatred and anger people have for him he still continues to act in a civilized and well-behaved manor towards his co-workers and the people around him On the other hand, Bill Gillespie is a totally different character. He is physically larger and older than Tibbs, is a racist, and has several temper issues. Gillespie believes that Tibbs is far more experienced at the job then he is. Gillespie understands that Tibbs knows what he is doing, but is not happy about the fact that Tibbs has been selected to investigate the case. The problem Gillespie has with Tibbs is that he is more educated and has a higher source of income then he does. Also, Gillespie’s initial reaction to having Tibbs work on the case was negative and demanded that Tibbs be sent to his train right away.. An example of this would “Who in hell asked you to open your big…

    A wide array of subject matter was covered far past the basic account of "a day in the life of an prisoner". The rationale of the inmate hierarchy is displayed from the inside with a totality that would take years of research and interviews. It is clear that there is no doubt concerning the feelings Abbott has for his jailers, and the establishment they represent. He clearly expresses throughout his writings that the corrections system exists to oppress the unfortunate and underprivileged.…

    The Case Against Tipping

    • 781 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Michael Lewis’ essay, “The Case Against Tipping”, is an arguable topic that can really get you thinking. Ever wonder why people tip? It is an incentive to do so or it is out of kindness of their heart. After reading Lewis’ essay, I have to say that he has never had experience working a job that relies heavily on tips for a salary. To have such a bitter attitude towards waiters or coffee shop workers shows me that Michael Lewis is not empathetic simply because he has never been in that situation. I came to this conclusion for the following reasons; Lewis refers to the tip jar as a “beggars cup”, the concept of waiters depending virtually solely on tips is not very real to Lewis, and Lewis believes that tips or more like a tax.…

    Tipping Speech

    • 893 Words
    • 3 Pages

    No matter how different people may be there is one thing everyone in this room, and everyone and the world has in common. Food. We all eat it, we all love it and I don’t know about you guys but mealtime is easily one of my favorite parts of the day. But how often do we think about the people who serve us our food? Servers in Texas are only paid $2.13 an hour before tips and according to the Wall Street Journal and even with tips many servers end up making below minimum wage. I’m credible on this topic because I’ve worked in several restaurants and I’ve seen how many people almost completely rely on tips as their source of income. Tipping is relevant to you guys because everyone here has eaten in a restaurant and because most likely some of you guys have also had the pleasure of working in a restaurant. There are two solutions I propose to this problem, one everyone could make an effort to give their servers a good tip of around 20% if they receive good service, and also Texas could increase the amount that waiters and waitresses get paid per hour.…

    Tipping: the Tip

    • 597 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Tips are generally a small amount of money given to a person as gratitude for a service that has been provided. There are many times throughout our everyday lives in which we are put in a position to leave a gratuity. Whether it be dining at a restaurant, getting your hair cut at the salon, or having a few drinks with friends at a bar. In each case there was a service provided to you, now you have a decision to make, how much of a tip is considered acceptable and should you tip everyone that provides a service to you? There are many guidelines for consumers to follow. With modern technology there are convenient tip calculators available as features on most new cellular phones. When deciding on the tip amount the service is one of the major determining factors along with whether or not you plan on visiting the establishment again , and how the tip will play a role in your further dealings with said business. Michael Lewis explores a few interesting reasons why tipping is getting out of hand in a recent essay. I strongly agree with many points and examples he provides.…
