Are you Type A,B, or C?

There are three types of people in this world when it comes to restaurants:

Type A:
Arrives to a restaurant, sits down, gets greeted, then proceeds to talk and not look at a menu. When they finally get around to looking at the menu, and decide on what they want, they are pissed as hell that the server is not immediately at their table to take their order. I'll call this type, "The world revolves around me." After getting their order in, they will chug their waters as fast as they can and repeat the above process with their refills. TWRAM are horrible people to wait on and usually tip like crap no matter how many water refills they get.

Type B:
Arrives to a restaurant, sits down, gets greeted, orders drinks, by the time the server gets back with said drinks, orders food and lets the server know if they want extras (side ranch, no tomato, etc.) and are completely happy even if their drinks get a little low or their waters need refilling.
Tip like rock stars.

Type C:
Arrives to a restaurant....
Then A, take forever to sit downv(should we sit here? or here?), or B sits down immediately.
Gets greeted....
Then A, orders drinks or B, can't decide on anything but is polite about it.
Server gets back with drinks, (finally, or immediately)....
Then A, One can't decide on something so server has to come back, or B orders food.
Server checks on them from time to time....
Then A, orders more drinks, B, suddenly remembers they want a side of ranch
Server brings food...
Then A, orders more drinks, or B, suddenly remembers they want a side of ranch
Server brings check....
Then A, pays, B, suddenly wants separate checks, C, wants more drinks instead.

It's a love/hate thing with Type C. Sometimes they tip well, making every indecision worth it. Sometimes they don't, making you never want to wait on them again.

Luckily, with my job, if I don't want to wait on you, I don't have too. Shitty tip? No thanks, I'll even tell you that to your face. Awesome customer? I'll actually wait on you before three other people in the crowd.

You know what this means?
300 dollars on a Tuesday night and home by one A.M.
My rent is 400 + all utilities.
