I'm a server in Philly, and I can tell you that the Zagat survey only represents a small percentage of Philly patrons. I should also point out, as a server at a CHAIN restaurant in Philly, that you are way less likely to make 19% at a chain, especially RL.

I've read all of your blog, and I have to say - you are a MORON for still working for RL. TEN YEARS?!? Anyone with a quarter of a brain would have bailed out of there after three months of that crap. Go get a job in a restaurant with REAL check averages and patrons that aren't total nimrods. If you're going to wait tables, why on Earth would you do it in such a cheeseball, gangsta-wanna-be, joke of a restaurant?
