Undeserving
Bringing the bad attitude
will earn you no tips
Giving service with a frown and pouty lips
Coming to the job
with personal problems vexing your mind
Flipping the bird to the kids ... cloudy is your sunshine
Mixing the orders all up
has the customers grumbling
Swishing your butt like a ****,
as you walk away mumbling
under your breath
Feeling like you're a victim,
whose not being compensated right
Being up on your feet working all day,
those table tips are just way too light
You deserve better you feel,
a much better lot in life than what you got
So you come my way with a negative vibe,
percolating frustration like a coffee pot
Your foul demeanor left my meal with a sour taste,
lost my appetite looking at your unhappy face
Now you expect a tip from me, undeservedly
No how, no ma'am ... no way
But you did make me leave with a big smile,
when I saw you drop that food tray
Then you having to clean up that mess
was karma served, which really made my day
