Sybil Presley

Lifetime waitress Sybil Presley of Memphis, Tennessee has made it her mission to get a month recognized nationally as “Be Kind to Food Servers Awareness Month”

January is the proposed month and Sybil has been looking to join the National Restaurant Association and garner their support in getting a resolution passed. Congressman Steve Cohen is helping Sybil to get Be Kind To Food Servers Month nationally recognized through Congress. Also being sought is a concurrent request of proclamation from the President for the Be Kind to Food Servers Awareness Month.

Sybil explains; “Be Kind To Food Servers Month was created to elevate the status of waitresses and waiters and to establish a positive relationship between food servers and the dining public. To bring public awareness to what a food server goes through to get the customer’s food to their table. An on-going campaign to shine the spotlight on the pet peeves from both sides of the tray-food servers and customers,making both parties aware of areas that can be improved upon for better service for the customers and generate more tips for the waiter and waitress. Be Kind To Food Servers Month will help to gain more respect, patience and appreciation for the food servers of America!”

Sybil has also created the Be Kind To Food Servers Social Network and Support Group., Info can be found on Facebook.
She is looking for suggestions from food servers and anyone who has ideas on how they would like to celebrate the Be Kind To Food Servers Awareness Month in January. In August Ms. Presley hosted city-wide blood drives. The Life Blood mobile units came to area churches and there was a festival atmosphere with food vendors and entertainment. She invited food servers to volunteer and donate blood, and plans on keeping the blood drives as one of the annual events.

If the Bill is passed while she is trying to raise money to get to DC, She will still go and thank Congress and publicize the cause. Sybil points out “This is more than just a month, it paves the way for year-long projects that will benefit Food Servers.” Sybil has also started an on-going Be Kind To Food Servers Social Network. Sybil is accepting donations in any amount to help realize the goals of her movement.
