But the reaction from most people who saw the cards was negative. "HOW RUDE!" "Well, that's pretty condescending!" and "You're a jerk!" were the most common responses I got. Of course, most people never noticed the back side of the cards, with the rules for patrons - they only thought I was giving a bunch of crap to servers.
I'm not surprised. [Redacted]

Please don't dine in our restaurant.
So if I were a server with a goal of amassing $10 million in the bank, would I be justified in being a massive tip whore?
What you don't understand is that the wage you receive is commensurate with the type of work you do. What you plan to do with the earnings or what your future endeavors are is completely irrelevant.
