This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A little trivia about this monologue: Quinton Tarantino wrote this in the movie as it is his own opinion, but didn't want his own character to say it for fear of backlash at the time. Remember this movie was made before everyone was expecting a tip like they do today.

Wtf are you talking about servers were expecting a tip in the 90's. That's the majority of thier wages.

One of the characters even mentions something like that in the movie.

If you reread my comment, I mentioned the movie was made BEFORE everyone expected tips like they do TODAY. I was a server in the 2000s myself, and today there are tips asked at every register, sports games or entertainment show concession stands for example.
