My cousin was employed with Denny's in the early 2000s. There was a lady at his table that couldn't make up her mind on how she liked the meat in her burger to be cooked. It was either too bloody or too burnt. The chef prepared it exactly the way she wanted.
After sending her plate back for the fifth time, he finally had enough and quit right there on the spot. I think he walked out with his uniform on and never returned, lol.
Good for him. Seems like a stressful job for such low pay and if you happen to get lousy tippers.
I'm sorry to hear the group of Churchgoers didn't give you anything other than advice on seeking the Lord some of the time. That would've burned my ass catering to such a large group of people.
That woman had issues. I would have asked her leave. She was playing games for attention I would say, wasn't going to be satisfied, regardless of how her burger was cooked and perhaps was even mentally ill.
Not from the US, I have worked in kitchens for 7 yrs as a steward—dish pig 
—not front of house and this was a secondary job to supplement income from my first. We were working just as hard as the wait staff, yet any tips the wait staff received was a divvy that only happened amongst the front of house staff. I never once felt entitled to receive any of the tips given, and while it was a bonus for the wait staff and I guess the anticipation of a tip may have been in the back of their minds, it was not an expectation or entitlement. The US hospitality industry is relying on customers to pay extra to the wait staff in order to keep their wage costs down to an absolute minimum and this is even exploitation on all fronts.
