Most of what I earn comes from tips, so my whole night rides on whether strangers happen to like me. When a table stiffs me for no reason, I drive home with almost nothing and can't help taking it personally. It's hard not to feel like my worth got decided by people who'll never remember my face.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your income and your mood ride on whether strangers happen to like you.
