Being More Assertive

i am trying to be more assertive without being aggressive or too aggressive. Anyone else have problems with being assertive?

I usually have this problem with family and service providers. But not at work or with men for some reason...

Anyway. A month ago I was eating out at a regular local spot and my regular waiter told me asked me to give him a good tip. I was so shocked.

I decided not to go back to that restaurant. But I did yesterday. I told him to stop calling me darling (after he served my food). I also asked him why he asked me to give him a good tip the last time I was there when I always tipped him 20%? I told him he was tacky and I nearly did not come back to eat there. He apologized. Said he was having a bad day.

Not sure I will go back but I needed to get it off my chest. I was so annoyed with him. So gauche. In the back of my mind I wondered if he would have done that crap with a white customer.
