I usually tip 20% if it's good (usually it is, I'm not fussy), 18% if he/she messed up a couple things, and like 10% if they just straight up sucked.

As I said before, "customer is always right". Even when you are the top of the food chain, you're most likely going to have some customer somewhere that you're trying to kissass to or please. |

I hate the customer is always right theory. Im gonna open a restaruant that is a server friendly place. Meaning, what we say GOES! hahha.. They have a place here in SD like that. Dicks last resort. The serves are rude (but its part of the atmosphere). Alot of times ill get people that forgot what they ordered, so when i bring the food, they look at me like im an alien. I cant throw a fit and say you are soooo old that you forgot what you ordered, im 22, my memory is 100% dead on. Nope, i have to say.. o.. well, im sorry.. guess i heard it wrong. *then i walk away while cursing to myself* hahaa

Sorry about integrating my responses into the body of the quote, but this was the easiest way for me to do it.
Quote:
1. Treat your server with dignity and respect. Of course you should treat everyone with dignity, but some people like to go out because they take orders all day and finally have someone to boss around. I think that people who are used to giving orders all day are actually apt to be appropriate because they know how to get results, and it's not by being a jerk. I don't think that you should treat people better because they might spit in your food. That's like a valet saying "tip me $10 cuz I just might key your car". 2. Tip well, don't be a cheapskate. 3. Some servers think everything is your fault, and that you should not bring kids to restaurants, have allergies, drink coffee, tea or water. Keep your list of requests at the tip of your tongue, and it should be short. There are no excuses for eating out late, and if your server is nowhere to be seen, it's because you were a jerk- you jerky jerk!. Restauranteers should be screened for TB because they might spit in your food. I think I just pissed off a beautiful girl. |

When i go out to eat, i dont tip extremely well all the time either. If the server sucked, then the tip will suck. You have to earn it, so i get worked up, if i did a really good job, and i get cheated. But if i know i was being rude or something, then im not mad when i see $2

it just happened here in pittsburgh the other day where a customer opened his coke after he drank some going through a drive-through and noticed a big spit, the kind that comes all the way from your heels, just floating in his coke. the asshole waiter, or whatever you call them, is facing up to 10 years in prison because he gave the guy some kind of herpes.

I have NEVER spit in someone's food. Thats wrong, even if the person is a complete A-hole, i dont do it.
Yea PR/marketing is a def a customer's always right major. But thats a good thing, cause i have LOADS of experience in it.

I really don't want a McPhlegm drink. |

No
Naw, I guess I missed it. Been getting home after work well after evening news and haven't listened to local radio since I got my car (Sirius rocks!). I'll search The P-G.
BTW my sister worked at a North Hills McDonald's while in H.S. now she's a business consultant in DC and makes pretty major bucks. People can learn a lot about customer service if they keep their eyes open, even in these jobs. To the best of my knowledge, she never spat in anyone's food, but she did bring an occasional Big Mac home for me. Since I was 10 y.o. I thought this was like food from Olympus. |

Okay the teddy bear thing is really weird. You should offer her high chairs for all of them so she can strap them in like babies. I have never served, I've heard it is some of the best work/life experience you can get though.... so maybe I'm poorer for it. I've done telemarketing as well as over the phone debt collections those were both pretty shitty jobs that involved dealing with all the wackos the United States had to offer. Anyway, I tip well and consider myself a pretty well mannered person. I can also sympathize with the shit servers have to put up with... but that person still needs to find a new job. |
