SATURDAY, MAY 21: WAITSTAFF DAY
Profile America -- Saturday, May 21st. Today's the day to add a smile to the tip you leave at your favorite restaurant -- it's National Waitstaff Day, a time for us to express appreciation to the many dedicated waiters and waitresses who make eating out a pleasure. From small diners and bars, up to top-rated, five-star restaurants, there are 1.5 million eating and drinking places across the nation, catering to every taste from beer to single malt scotch, and from ham and eggs to poached salmon. Working in these places are more than 2 million women and men, who deal with separate checks and make sure we get either regular or decaf coffee and who tend to our needs mostly with a smile and a good natured word. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.
