Use your noodle

They make the food like you want it!

I named this site medianoodles.com because I want to write about a variety of things that are happening around the city, especially in Queens, NY since I live there. I also think there are a lot of “noodles” floating around NYC that I would really like to get inside of and understand where they are coming from. Some noodles that I really want to get into are the noodles that go to restaurants and feel that they don’t have to tip the waiter for their service and hospitality or they feel $2 is a very good tip on a $100 check. I mean, really? Is that how they really feel? I really want to ask them what makes them think that a waiter could go home with $2 and pay ONE bill with that. Like, thanks, but NO THANKS. Imagine if someone gave you a dollar or two and said, “Thank you SOOOO much for your service. You were great! Heres $2.” I want to ask them what would they do with $2. The tip is usually 15% of the bill or to make it simple, it’s just double the tax. So on an $80 check the tax is usually $5.56 or something of that sort. That’s basically a tip of $11 or $12, $15 to be generous. If you don’t have the money to tip or you just don’t appreciate the things people do for you, or you are just cheap, please, don’t come out to restaurants like Applebees or Red Lobster. Tips are our wages, our pay for the day. Tips are our salary.

Two people dining

We provide you with a great dining experience!

Yes, I am speaking for all servers who work in the food service industry. TIP NOT ONLY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, BUT ALSO BECAUSE ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. And please, don’t come to sit into a restaurant for an hour and off the back have an attitude with the server just because you had a bad day. Don’t take it out on us. Remember, we handle your food in the kitchen. Haha. It’s just something to think about. We are not SERVANTS, we are SERVERS. Treat us with respect. We took this job not only to make money but to put a smile on your face and hopefully you can say we made your day. =]
