But like I said when they would be paid less if it were legally possibly, how can expect them to care at the level you want them to?

It does. If everyone tipped like us, the servers couldn't pay their bills. UNDERSTAND? THEY WOULD ******LEARN******* TO BUST THEIR BUTTS OR QUIT because they wouldn't even be making min. wage even.

But I get that these people get paid dick all, and as a decent human being I choose to kick in a decent tip. Perhaps its because I've worked in the service industry and can appreciate how badly some workers get crapped on by customers, like you, who literally bitch at any and everything because to them, its just some random server they could care less about, so they don't mind trampelling on their emotions and feelings.

All you doing is REINFORCING THEM TO FORGET OR MESS UP THE SAME THINGS AGAIN.

They trample on MY FEELINGS, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. They don't say their sorry most of the time, they don't try their best most of the time, and they sometime even put cleaning up over what you asked for as if that has feelings and is going to tip them, especially when there's no wait for a table either.

Seriously? These people are exceptionally busy and have a hard job. They make mistakes. You can either be a normal human being and forgive human error and let it slide, or you can do what you do and rant and rave across the net about crappy service. Perhaps he should have said thank you, but would him have saying thank you made you do a 180 on your feelings about the service? From the rest of your posts, thats doubtful, you would find something else to get pissed at.

Don't you mean "SORRY", NOT "THANK YOU." If he would have said "Sorry" instead of 12%, he would have received 15%. If he would have said "SO SORRY", he would have gotten 17%. Understand how it works? YOU BE MEAN, I BE MEAN BACK TO YOU JUST AS UNCARING AS YOU WERE TO ME. BE NICE, I WILL BE NICER TO YOU IN THE TIP JUST AS YOU WERE TO ME. AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!

If it's a REAL MISTAKE, HE WOULD HAVE SAID HE WAS SORRY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!

The cost of food is low. Because they pay their employees low. So yes, it has everuthing to do with it. There are always going to be people who will work as hard at $4/hr as they do $40/hr. But you expect everyone to have the same approach as you. Seems kind of miopic to me.

Their pay is the same $2.13/hr even at fine dining. They work for TIPS, NOTHING MORE. So what you are saying doesn't make *ANY* SENSE WHAT-SO-EVER!!

Because thats you. Amazingly everyone is different. If you expect everyone to do things to your specifications, why exactly do you ever leave the house? You seem to expect everyone to do the things "I would"

It has to do with FEELINGS.

Yes you are treating people like crap. You expect everyone to bend over backwards to ensure you have the exact service you want.

No I DON'T. I AM NICER THAN THEY ARE TO ME!!

They want that money, it's their *JOB* TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR IT. YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THAT GOOD TIP. Just read http://stef319.hubpages.com/hub/Conf...-A-Food-Server

I definitely know where you're coming from with servers, though. I will agree that 90% of our servers ARE lazy. They drive me crazy; as lazy as they are with their tables (who are providing their tips), imagine how lazy they are when it's time to do sidework and help clean the restaurant. They're always on their cell phones, outside smoking cigarettes, flirting with the cooks, when they should be paying attention to their guests. And I bet they get your orders wrong all the time because you're right-they are lazy. They expect a 20% tip always. They wonder why they get "stiffed" on a tip sometimes. It's because they didn't deserve a tip!

Even stef319 agrees. YOU SOUND LIKE THE SERVERS SHE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT, LAZY!!

If you want exactly what you want, do it yourself.

You sound LAZY, FOR REAL, VERY LAZY!! If you don't want the job, DON'T TAKE IT!!

Ultimately you strike me as someone who even if they got letter perfect service would find something (the weather, the parking spot you ended up with) to complain about.

No, I have had PERFECT service before with ZERO COMPLAINTS!!
