Never fear I have found a place where you are guaranteed to get great service and it seems to be in your price range.

The servers dread us if they are LAZY and UNCARING people. Think about it, if you aren't lazy and care, you are willing to bust your butt for your money.

No servers hate you, even the good ones. Because they fear doing something "wrong".

Who's to say? Maybe the cooks did a good job and my server was busy giving an HJ in the bathroom to the guy she's had a crush on for the last 3 months who finally told her that he thinks she's special and that she may just be the girl for him. It really helps her self esteem in the short run even though in the long run it's going to ruin her self esteem because he just used her to get himself off and now all she has for a memory is a handful of organic Jergen's, a wink and a smile. And the hole in her heart.

But the broccoli. Yeah, that could be anyone's fault you really need to examine everyone involved before letting something like that determine your tip.

Well, if they do something wrong, they know what they did wrong most of the time, because I tell them such as if something is missing or obviously wrong.

Also, they know they don't want things to go wrong, so WHY should they not expect the same thing when they serve?

If we don't hold the 17 year old server responsible for not bringing a coke refill on time, then the communists win.

I know that. That's why I mentioned those issues. Sometimes it's the kitchen staff's fault, sometimes it's not.

Let's not forget the even younger bus boys, food runers, expos, other teenage servers, managers and everyone else that also could contribute to this blasphemy.

fyp.

So, and this is directed at *SPRINGS1*. Let's say you order something from Amazon. You get it in the mail and realize that it's the wrong item. Do you blame it on UPS, too?

Not with the broccoli issue being cold, unless the managers made the server not bring out my food on time.
