(14,604 posts)could easily park in 1 of those spaces, She's active duty. She doesn't. Reason one being she is well aware that Vets are older than her and don't qualify for a disabled parking spot. She's young and healthy, so she walks the 10 extra steps to the front door.
Yes some people in the military do not tip well. I lived near a training base where I bartended & waited tables while also going through school. You know who those customers were? Those going through basic training, at the bottom on the pay scale. Never once did someone ever ask me for anything free. They always said please and thank-you. I figured they were going through some intense training, for meager pay let them enjoy the few free hours of off-time they were granted. They were willing to give me the best they could offer, the least I could do was treat them the same as I would any other customer. I have also had some tip me extremely well. I've had "regulars" tip me low the 1st time they came in, but as their paychecks started coming in over tipped to make up for the times they couldn't afford to tip well.
Maybe your daughter just sucks at waiting tables. I have had bad waiters before, therefore all waiters are bad.
