Waitress reveals how she boosted her tips despite being ‘terrible’ at the job
A TikTok user who described herself as a ‘terrible server’ revealed how she still managed to pocket great tips.
Halli Smith explained in a viral video that she made up for errors at work with little flourishes, like her hairstyles, holiday accessories and simple communication.
‘Even though I would suck sometimes, forget food or be cold, write down the wrong thing, and you’d get the wrong order, I’d make up for it in other ways,’ she said.
Smith emphasized that appearance does matter, and she claimed that older men complimented her the most on her braided hair.
Smith claimed older men loved a ‘cute, braided hairstyle’ and that it didn’t matter how she styled it.
Women did too, leading the waitress to compliment them back.
Smith noted that servers should never ‘leave their customers hanging’ if they compliment the waitstaff.
‘You butter up your clientele so that they like you,’ she said.
Waitresses can also get tips if they accessorize for the holidays, something Smith advised servers to do.
These can include earrings that celebrate the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Christmas.
‘People love extra pageantry… They want to be entertained,’ the former server said.
She added that servers don’t have to wear ‘too much,’ but it’s crucial to celebrate the holidays because customers would ‘eat it up.’
The one tip Smith could not ‘preach enough’ was for a server to introduce themselves by name when first greeting their customers.
Smith suggested writing names on a pad to remember them.
‘People love it when you remember their names,’ Smith said, before advising servers to mention them in conversations or when asking a question.
One bonus tip she gave servers in the comment section is not to forget that customer’s name after they walk out the door because they ‘love it.’
‘Make them feel special, make them feel listened to… Then they’re like, “Wow, she kind of had bad service, and that was awful, but she was sweet,'” Smith said.
According to the TikToker, this can also help a server earn ‘pity points’ and still give them a good chance of receiving a fantastic tip from a customer.
TikTok users were impressed with Smith’s tips, but more than one person wrote that they could never remember a customer’s name.
‘I love this energy but there’s no way i’m remembering everyone’s names when my section is full,’ one wrote.
Others thought the braids were a ‘great idea,’ and one commenter who claimed to be a server wrote they ‘always get compliments,’ because of it.
‘I had an old couple compliment my dutch braids, and they tipped me $25 on a $30 order,’ a commenter wrote.
Another TikToker added: ‘Sometimes you just gotta be a cutie pie like me. Personally, I put stickers on people’s checks and receipts, and they eat it up every time.’

Breaking: The Entire Internet Is Tripping Out Over Sketchy Image That Appears To Show Patrick Mahomes Rocking Racist Symbol On His Clothing …..see more
Patrick Mahomes is receiving a lot of backlash online over a picture that appeared to show him rocking a Nazi symbol.
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 9-0 against their division rival Denver Broncos.
Along with their 9-0 start, the Chiefs have now won 15 straight games (including postseason) dating back to the 2023 season.
The Chiefs offense struggled in week 10, barely surviving to seal the win with a late blocked field goal.
However, a win is a win no matter how it happens.
After the game, one social media user decided to troll Patrick Mahomes by posting an old picture of him wearing a headband that appeared to have a swastika on it.

Elon Musk: “I’d Rather Break My Leg Than See Taylor Swift During An NFL Game
In a surprising revelation on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk commented on pop superstar Taylor Swift’s recent appearances at NFL games, stating, “I’d rather break my leg than see Taylor Swift during an NFL game.” The billionaire and tech tycoon’s comment quickly became one of the platform’s top trending topics, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the unexpected sentiment.
Since Elon Musk’s $44bn acquisition of X last year, the platform has undergone a series of notable changes, from overhauling the verification system to the reinstatement of former US President Donald Trump. Musk has not only gutted trust and safety teams but also installed a new CEO, former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino, making his influence felt in both operational and content aspects of the platform. With this fresh comment about Swift, Musk further establishes his fearless approach to sharing personal opinions on X, regardless of public perception.
Taylor Swift, meanwhile, has recently become a regular face at NFL games, particularly at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Her budding relationship with the Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce has drawn considerable media attention. Swift’s appearances at these games, coupled with her high-profile relationship, have drawn an avalanche of media attention and a significant increase in game viewership. An average of nearly 27 million viewers tuned into the Chiefs-Jets game, hoping to catch a glimpse of the music icon.
Musk’s comment on Swift’s NFL appearances has predictably divided opinions on X. Supporters of the “Shake It Off” singer were quick to defend her, criticizing Musk for his seemingly unprovoked remark. Others opined that the tech mogul’s comment was perhaps in jest or simply reflective of his known penchant for sparking internet debates.
Regardless of Musk’s intentions, his statement has reignited discussions about celebrity involvement in sports and the cultural impact of such appearances. As the NFL capitalizes on Swift’s newfound passion for the game, Musk’s provocative comment ensures that the intersection of pop culture, sports, and technology remains as dynamic and unpredictable as ever.
In a world where every tweet can spark a global conversation, it remains to be seen if Swift will respond to Musk’s remark or if the NFL will weigh in on the matter. What is certain, however, is that the lines between entertainment sectors continue to blur, and public figures like Musk and Swift are at the forefront of this evolving narrative
