Classic being UNCARING about others and just be so SELFISH about what *YOU* only want, but hell with what others want. There's NO difference in a steak being cooked *(YOUR)* way vs. fries being cooked *MY* way.

It is true a good portion of the times, not all the time.

But some places must have less bad service then others.

You've proven servers wrong before, but has this changed how they or the places you go to eat service you? What is the goal of the blogs and the posts? What are you trying to accomplish? You have to have a goal at the end of the day. Do you feel you're closer to achieving that then you were over a decade ago?

For future reference, ideal posting times for you crazies are between the hours of 6-9 pm MST.. A lot of us normies have to work in the day and sleep at night, but we don't want to miss out on the action!

That's your opinion. I think people that like food with condiments have horrible taste in food. What does this matter?

But this is like a car wreck and I can't look away!

How the heck did you find this thread anyway? Do you actively search for any forum posting about tipping or food service? Just curious, because it doesn't seem like you're here for hockey talk, or even Canadian for that matter.

In honour of your posts, I promise to tip 2x what I otherwise would for everyone of your nonsensical posts. Sort of like a global ying-yang thing. For every server you stiff, I am leaving a lazy server 30%.

I think we should all welcome Springs1 to this forum your presence is welcomed and I will gladly join in an overthrow of Bingo, to make you head forum leader.

Sometimes, sometimes not, it depends on the server.

It's common sense, proving people wrong is the love of blogs for me. When I see people that are lying to the pubic about that it's not the server's fault for most issues when it IS, it pisses me off that they lied or just too stupid to know any better.

It has changed some people's ways of thinking, others it hasn't. Such as on comments on surveys have talked about how I didn't want refills without being asked or me asking(I'd rather them ask than me asking them) and they did what I wanted by asking me instead of ordering for me.

Some people when I told them off, they didn't reply, because they knew they were in the wrong. If they felt they were right, they would have given me a piece of their mind.

I feel I have helped, because everyone wants nothing to go wrong if possible. I don't know ANYONE that would rather have bad service than good service.

My goal I guess is to get people to start thinking with common sense like whose fault something is for example if you get a wrong side dish, it cannot possibly by the kitchen staff's fault unless a member of the kitchen staff steps out of the kitchen to give you your food wrong when the order was put in correctly by the server that took the order. Some customers or even servers however, want to blame the kitchen staff. I cannot stand such common sense things being blamed on the wrong person. I don't get why are people so stupid to not truly think about WHO really is at fault for some of these obvious issues?

This is such an epic thread. One of the all time greats.

I wonder what Wannamaker thinks of tips, and how crispy she likes her bacon.

It's called GOOGLE. "Server's fault" you google that or "Servers fault" or tipping servers, etc.

We should have a CP-a-thon...

Guess how much Spring1 weighs and win!
