And you are more interested in how they waste that 2-3 seconds of your time.

They don't do it to be nice. They do it because they want a higher tip. I will show you a link to PROVE IT:

*Writing thank you on the check, 13 percent more.
*A waitress drawing a smiley face on the check, 18 percent more. But waiters who drew smiley faces saw their tips drop. Weirdly, bartenders who drew suns on checks got 37 percent more.

See they do it for *THEMSELVES*, NOT for the customer. WHY you think they are at work, for someone's health? NO, they want *MONEY*!!


They aren't being *CONSIDERATE* of customer's *TIME* when doing that and you know it. Do you like waiting? I bet you don't either. Most people HATE waiting.

Also if you tip someone nice and act friendly, if you go back to the same establishment, they will generally remember you, and you will get better service. Just by treating people like actual people, or the way that an average person would expect to be treated by someone who acts like a psychopathic bitch, at least on the internet. I don't know what you are like in real life, maybe you are the world's nicest person who just happens to have the world's oddest case of obsessive-compulsive disorder in that you have the compulsion to have a side of ranch dressing with every possible meal.

Server: Would you like another refill of your coke?
You: Don't ACT like you KNOW what I want! Yes. Coke. And sides of ranch.
Server: So coke and a side of ranch?
You: Stop wasting my TIME! I want multiple SIDES!!!! of ranch. Even a child knows that.
Server later ejaculates into your side of ranch.

I don't act like that though.

I would say "Sure" or "Yes" and even a PREEMPTIVE "THANK YOU" even and one after they get me my refill.

I am not mean and you know it!! I am VERY NICE. Even times when servers messed up, I STILL SAID "THANK YOU" even though they didn't say they were sorry even. That's how I am much nicer than they are.
