Great Scott! How come nobody notified the rest of us of this thread becoming active with Spring1 again??

Yeesh, I wasted the last 3 hours spending time with my kids when *THIS* was happening!

I'm pretty sure you are an awful human being, thought I would throw that out there.

A few questions though, do you have a job? If so, do you ever make mistake at that job or take slightly longer breaks than are required? When mistakes/breaks are made, do you request to your employer deduct your paycheque for that amount?

How did you meet your husband?
How does he feel about your cyber rampage against the service industry?
Do you have any friends?
What's your favourite colour?
Why do you insist on all of the salad dressing and condiments on the side?
Have you ever been in a motor vehicle accident or had some form of head trauma?
What do you think of Jay Bouwmeester... he seems to only serve up disappointment and bitterness.... and it takes him 30 minutes to do it... you could have three cokes in that time span?
What is the best thing to order at Applebees?
Do you have any children?
Do you ever worry that people spit, ejaculate, and add random bodily fluids to your food - hell I worry about that and I do things like ask how a servers day is going and treat them like human beings...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Springs1, first off, welcome back. We've missed you. We really have.

I have a question about proper decorum when it comes to servers, for you see I seem to be having problems with my coffee orders recently.

Usually I drink my coffee black (no cream, no sugar), unless it's a cup from the bottom of the pot, in which case it's a little bitter so I take two creams/two sugars in that case. The problem I'm having is when I order "1 black coffee" I occasionally get a cup from the bottom of the pot, in which case it's a little too black... but the servers just never take the time to double check and ***LOOK*** at the coffee in the cup before putting a lid on it and handing it to me. By the time I take a sip I've already dropped a quarter or so into the tip cup and ***SOMETIMES*** I've left the store already.

Is it fair of me to take my quarter out of the tip jar next time I'm at Tim Hortons? I mean they should know that black doesn't mean "bottom of the pot black", but normal black. So if it's bottom of the pot they should **KNOW** I need two creams/two sugars.

Any thoughts?

Springs1 discussing her college life as one time she was invited to go to the bar and never did it again because she missed her boyfriend is awesome. This has been a great informational thread to learn more about one of the truly worst human beings alive on this earth.

-Isn't registered to vote
- Is 35 years old, which means she started this crusade at 25....she's spent 10 of the best years of her life doing this...dear god
- Lives in the Louisiana..no surprise there
- Has ordered upwards of 6 ranch dressing sides at once
- Is still clinically insane
- She also now just googles her username and destroys the lives of people who have mentioned her name

and she was a big Young and the Restless fan!

Honestly, now I almost feel bad for you - your feelings can be impacted by something as minor as a server wasting 2-3 seconds of your time by writing happy holidays. Someone is trying to reach out to you, attempting to pull you out of your miserable tailspin of a life, trying to give you some solace that you are not alone on this rock flying through space, someone actually shows you that there is a possibility of hope for the future. And you are more interested in how they waste that 2-3 seconds of your time.

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.

You know, I checked out the other thread of hers (That MMO Champ bombing) and in it was a pretty good point made by a chef. The server may very well know that there is a problem with the food...but what server is going to risk their job by telling the cook/chef: "Yeah, I don't think you did this properly." I bet most would take it out, have the customer say "I didn't want it like that" and then go back to the chef with "The customer says..."

Also, I used to be a manager for a drug store. I loved it when folks like Springs1 came in (there are nuts out there obsessed at this level with just about everything, it seems) as I quite enjoyed tossing them out of the store and telling them not to come back. My staff's morale was more important to me than some holier-than-thou pissant customer.

I have a question for Springs1.

I am curious as to what you believe you average annual consumption of ranch dressing is? I am well connected in the lucrative salad dressing market, as many users here will vouch for. Currently one of our brands is looking for a spokesperson for a new ranch themed product, and it sounds as if your passion for ranch dressing, and your culinary expertise may very well make you fit the bill.

All I would need is a sample photo, and preferably a small video pitch sample to take to our advertising execs. It is a 'southern' themed product, so a Louisiana accent may work very well. All I ask is you be creative, and preferably, incorporate the consumption of ranch dressing into your pitch.

God I hope she falls for this.

the service has to be extraordinarily bad for me to stiff, but it's happened.

normally I tip 18%, if the service is brilliant I'll top it up a few percent

Same way I feel about his video game obsession , waste of time. Call of Duty isn't exactly real life you know? At least what I am talking about is REAL LIFE issues. Seeing guts splat on the tv that aren't even real is just stupid to me. We have hobbies. Mine is blogging, one of his is video games.

Yes.

I don't know why that matters? Purple

Quote:

The only way it taste good. I even do it at home. I used to eat hot pockets(until I got sick 3 times over the years from it, so I quit(2 times bad gas pains that lasted for an entire day and once threw up), which I dipped bbq hot pockets in mayo.

When I eat certain things, I dip them in mayo or ranch. I love condiments. That's the ONLY WAY I REALLY ENJOY the food.

Accidents yes, NO head injuries.

No, don't want any either.

No, because if they aren't sick, it's not going to do anything to me, so I could care less.

ONLY if I *KNOW* the server would I be that friendly to them and what I mean by that is I have had to have them at least once, then if they seemed like a caring and considerate server that wasn't lazy, I'd ask for them again and want to be their friend(at least at the restaurant).

Would you want to be friends with someone that didn't say they were sorry for forgetting something for example or not trying their best? Most people wouldn't, would they?

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:

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/ente...ng_points.html

Quote:
*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.

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.
