I NEVER EVER ONCE SAID THAT!! I said REDUCE the tip if the service is no-so-great and only stiff if it's horrible.
We have had WORSE service at fine dining. For example, a place where our check was $293 or so for just us(cheapest steak was $89), our waiter took 8-10 minutes to get my first soft drink, 8-10 minutes to get my refill on my soft drink, and MOST IMPORTANTLY FORGOT MY MARGARITA FROM THE BAR WITH *****NO APOLOGY****** and I wasn't mean either. I said "thank you" even when he brought it back, STILL NO SORRY to speak of. No comp either, not even from the manager that came by to ask how our visit was(we didn't call him, he came to us).
So what you are saying is BS!! The COSTS OF THE FOOD MEANS ***********NOTHING***************!! It all has to do with the *{PERSON}* SERVING YOU!! We have had better service at Denny's, IHOP, and Waffle House even and that's cheaper than the other chains like Applebee's, Outback, Etc.
WHY, when I know how *I* would do the job that if I wanted the customer's money, I'D BUST MY BUTT AND THEN SOME FOR THEM, WHY SHOULD I ACT LIKE THEY SHOULD BE LAZY WHEN ***I***** WOULDN'T BE, HUH?
I am not treating people like crap though. If anything, the servers are being JERKS not apologizing the majority of the time they do mistakes, no being considerate such as doodling on the check, bussing a table instead of getting what you asked for such as your check or refill, etc. THOSE people are treating us like crap. It's the OTHER WAY AROUND and YOU KNOW THAT IS THE GOD'S TRUTH!!
