Tipping a server

Because servers should try their best. I am angry at the lazy, uncaring servers. If it's a real mistake, then I am not as pissed and definitely not as pissed if I get an apology. If I get an apology, but they didn't write what I asked for down, it kind of negates their apology because if they were sorry, they would have *TRIED* their best by WRITING IT DOWN if they are forgetful. At least as a customer I wrote down my orders, they should write down things if they can't forget. At least I am doing measures to not forget things, they should too. I am not even getting paid to write my own order even and still do it at times.

Working in the service industry is an important stepping stone in motivating a person to learn a trade or get an education and avoid that ####.

Wow. I am in awe. This was the perfect way to spend my afternoon.

Obviously I have nothing to add to this. This confirms you as a horrible human being. You want people to wait and foot and you, get a butler. That people who make awful money doing jobs they don't wanna do (and you don't either by the way) don't give full effort, why are you surprised? And that right there is the key. Why do you expect people who do jobs you yourself don't want to do, and do so at a level that for you is apparently unattainable.

It's NOT easy when you order heavily modified orders.

Do you feel it's so easy to remember all of that, I don't.

If you order it one time, no that might be hard to remember. I'm guessing you've order it dozens of times. So that you can't remember after dozens of times, well I don't know what to say other than you clearly lack basic intelligence and analytical skills.

WHY? When I am actually *HELPING* THEM do their job. One waitress THANKED ME and told me how cool it was that she didn't have to write all of that down. You shouldn't be insulted if it's a lot of stuff. You won't have an issue with thinking the customer said this or that when it's 100% certain what the customer said.

EXACTLY! Would you like if if people try to do or help you do your job? You're a customer, know your role, place your order and STFU.

Actually, YES, because it's not an insult, if anything I have had MUCH BETTER LUCK with my order being correct when I have given typed or written orders than not given typed or written orders, for REAL. I am not insulting them. It's to help *ME* remember. I also don't have confidence in that the server is going to do the job correctly. I'd rather have it right than wrong so I have better service and they should be happy they don't have to go through the trouble of writing my order down.

Obviously since you aren't actually a real person but rather a witch, I wouldn't expect you to know what common teenagers feel at that age, but mostly of them couldn't give a flying eff what most people think. So its been forever, no one is changing their tipping habits, and yet you march on, trying desperately to become an internet icon. Like herpes, I hope you pop up every now and then and remind us how awful you are so we can keep laughing our asses off.

When I was a server i would make decisions early on about which tables I liked and which ones i didnt. See if you are at a restaurant where you have a lot of tables (baically these mid level chains) you dont really have time to give perfect service to every table.

So demanding tables get poor service because in general the more demanding a table is the less of a tip you get from them. So you work the tables you like and you work the tables you expect good tips from. Anyone difficult with lots of requests gets the minimum service required.

So when you are missing sides of ranch, get properly cooked bacon, or one of your modifications gets missed its not because the server is stupid or lazy or doesnt want your money. Its that they have read you like a book from the moment you asked for the 4 sides of ranch. Servers do try to maximize their profit over an entire shift and minimize the grief they take from tables.

Your idea that the Servers want your monet is wrong. What they want is for you to leave quickly so some other reasonable customer will fill your seat.

Anyone else thinks Springs1 and Realtor1 should have to battle it out, Mad Max style for the use of "1" in their username?

I've known some servers that really enjoy impressionist paintings, especially Monet.

HOW when I am **********PAYING******** the server for what they are going to do, huh?

No, get a server that's not lazy.

That people who make awful money doing jobs they don't wanna do don't give full effort, why are you surprised?

HOW is 20%-25%-30% AWFUL MONEY, HUH? A mother that has a daughter that was a server online on this message forum called twopeasbucket.com told me that servers make more with their tips than McDonald's cashiers, so you are FULL OF BS AND YOU KNOW IT!!

And that right there is the key.

The key is they are getting *PAID* to do the job they are doing by the customer.

Why do you expect people who do jobs you yourself don't want to do

Because of the ********MONEY******** I AM GIVING THEM, DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

So that you can't remember after dozens of times, well I don't know what to say other than you clearly lack basic intelligence and analytical skills.

I don't order the same things all the time. I order different things.

Would you like if if people try to do or help you do your job?

If they told me how to do it better and faster, HELL F' YEAH!! I wouldn't mind at all That's how much you know.

You're a customer, know your role, place your order and STFU.

No, actually since it's *MY* MONEY I RULE MY SERVER, THE SERVER DOESN'T RULE ME, so they cannot tell me when to shut up, that's *MY* UNDER MY CONTROL TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. MY MONEY TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO IF YOU WANT IT!

Obviously since you aren't actually a real person but rather a witch,

NO, I am VERY NICE, CONSIDERATE PERSON THAT'S A HARD, CARING WORKER UNLIKE THE LIKES OF YOU.

[normtwofinger]

So today you started posting at about 8:10AM (mountain time) and now it's 6:25PM and you are still going. Good 10 hours. Wow.

But NO ONE "DEMANDS" THINGS. YOU ARE JUST A LAZY WORKER!! It's YOUR JOB TO GET THINGS THAT PEOPLE ASK FOR.

This isn't true for everyone and you cannot go by majority when serving. You are supposed to go by INDIVIDUALITY when serving. Did you ever think about WHY you received a bad tip from these people that gave you a lot of tasks to do if you messed up on them, huh? It's common sense why you got a bad tip. It's not because they asked for a lot. It's because *YOU* were too lazy to do the job properly.

Anyone difficult with lots of requests gets the minimum service required.

Then you should know you will not get a good tip then. I'd rather get good tips from *ALL* my tables instead of just some. You sound like not a hard worker at all. You sound LAZY.

So when you are missing sides of ranch, get properly cooked bacon, or one of your modifications gets missed its not because the server is stupid or lazy or doesnt want your money.

You sound LAZY. WHY are you there then if you don't want our money? Isn't the point to try to make the MOST MONEY you can make?

Its that they have read you like a book from the moment you asked for the 4 sides of ranch.

WHY are they there then? I thought it was to MAKE MONEY and then they complain, which they have NO RIGHT, because they didn't try their best is why those tables didn't tip well, DUHH if you messed up on the tables, WHAT KIND OF TIP DID YOU EXPECT? SERIOUSLY. YOU CAUSED THEM TO TIP POORLY ALL ON YOUR LAZY ASS OWN by not putting forth EFFORT into the job as you should have.

Your idea that the Servers want your monet is wrong. What they want is for you to leave quickly so some other reasonable customer will fill your seat.

ALL customers are reasonable. They do want the money. They just don't want to do the *********WORK********* it takes to get my money. THEY ARE LAZY JUST LIKE YOU!!

NO, I am VERY NICE, CONSIDERATE PERSON THAT'S A HARD, CARING WORKER UNLIKE THE LIKES OF YOU.

I wish I owned a restaurant just so I could tell you GTFO and never come back.

Nice people don't consider others to be their possession because they are buying a chicken Caesar wrap. If you were buying a highrise or small island I could understand you expecting to be treated like some deity but you're just a sad small person exercising the only power you have in your life. The fact that you enjoy dangling that piece of cheese to these "little people"beneath you only reinforces how pathetic and sad your life really is.

Looks like Springs1 was at this breakfast joint.

You wouldn't, because you would want customers to come back. It's called MONEY.

They aren't my possession, they are in my authority to do as I ask. I am their boss and they do as I say. THAT IS NICE, because I am *********PAYING********* THEM TO DO AS I ASK. What wouldn't be nice is if I didn't pay them or pay them well if they did well.

beneath you

They are only beneath me if I know more than them about the menu or how to do the job.

See, this is where you are completely wrong. The is a saying in any business "We reserve the right." The company, or in your case Chili's serving you is under no obligation to serve you, and is under no obligation to provide any particular level of service. The reserve the right to serve you poorly, or fairly, or excellently at their discretion. They own the building, and the premises, you Ma'am do not. If you do not like the services rendered you are still contractually obligated to pay, as long as they are representative of the menu item. And yes, they can tell you to shut up, if you are being unreasonable. I have physically removed unruly, unreasonable customers from my place of business, and have been backed by law enforcement when they have been called after the fact since I have given fair warning. They (Chili's) call the shots in their confines, not you.

No, you are an unemployed housewife without children to care for, that is sitting at home all day arguing the shortcomings of a particularly random profession with a bunch of Canadian hockey fans on your husbands dime. Getting a 35cent/hour raise at a Donut shop 20 years ago, does not qualify you as hard working.

Lady, you are sick in the head.

Why are you still unemployed then?

But you see ******some******* people have these other character traits you may not be familiar with: pride, dignity, and integrity. I would rather lose your business forever and also the business of the small group of potential customers that are as equally deranged as you. I'm willing to bet that business would go up because you know what's worse than a server getting a crappy customer? Good customers sitting at a table next to a crappy customer. This happens because it ruins their experience too.

I don't know you - but I would bet my house that you're one of those women who gained weight but none of it went to your boobs - it's all in the hips so you're very disproportionate. Those chicks are always the angriest and most bitter.

But the server can't, this is where *YOU* are wrong. The *********MANAGER OR OWNER********** MAKES THIS DECISION, so NO, ******YOU******** ARE WRONG!! The server has NOTHING to do with what you are saying here.

I am nice, you aren't. It does qualify me as a hard worker. You just don't want to admit it. I AM STILL THAT HARD WORKER.

Lady, you are sick in the head

YOU ARE!! I am VERY NORMAL AND NICE UNLIKE THE LIKES OF YOU!!

As I have said before, I am not just going to apply to any job and the ones I have had sometimes up to 150 applicants. They only pick ONE person for the job and there's not a whole lot of jobs out there now-a-days. Have you looked in the classifieds. Ours is much thinner than it was back in like 2004 for example when I was out of work for 5 months due to a lay off back then. Just look at the crappy economy why.

Lazy people always blame the recession. There's work - it's not on forums though.
