Your website is quite frankly one of the most asinine I’ve ever come across. No, waiters are not entitled to 20% regardless of your service. You don’t pay my wages. I earn that money and I’m not going to waste it on self-absorbed and entitled individuals who no longer want to earn their tips. If you are receiving a poor tip, it’s likely you are terrible at your job and are unaware of it. If you want better tips then work harder. But then again, you are probably waiting tables because you don’t know how to work hard. If you did, you would have studied hard in school so you wouldn’t be waiting tables the rest of your life and creating pathetic websites like this. After reading this trash, I’m more than happy to leave a poor tip the next time I receiver service from incompetent individuals like yourself. Sara

Sara,

Wow, sounds like we hit a nerve. Unfortunately you are misinformed on several issues. I’m not going to get into a mudslinging contest but I will say that waiting tables is one of the hardest jobs there is. I believe it is the second most stressful, just behind air traffic controllers. It requires a lot of Patience, communication skills, stamina, can do attitude and flexibility. You obviously are more interested in being mean and justifying your poor restaurant manners than you are about learning.

We are always talking about server being in the right, customers taking advantage of us, 20% service charge, and in general it is kind of one sided. I think that if we expect certain things, the customer should expect certain things as well. This is a two way street. Here is an E-Mail I received from a person. I think she makes a few good points (although most of them are obvious points). I would not say I agree with everything she says, in fact several of them I completely disagree with, but decided to share her comments with you.

1. Always provide water in addition to drinks. You shouldn’t expect the customer to ask for this
2. Bring extra napkins to the table.
3. If the kitchen is slow, apologize to the customer and update them. Don’t just leave them and arrive 45 min later blaming the kitchen. Provide additional bread or snacks in the meanwhile
4. Think about what customers want before they ask for it. Provide the pepper shaker, condiments, extra sauce, chips etc.
5. Don’t provide poor service because the customer split an item or ordered less. They may order more food next time or provide a good tip in addition to what they might owe
6. Don’t discriminate against customers based on past experience. If you treat them like they will tip poorly, they are GUARANTEED to do so!
7. Smile! You don’t have to be Jay Leno but be friendly. You don’t have a right to take out your frustration out on a customer. Wrong business pal!
8. Take the food to the back and package it. Don’t throw boxes on the table and expect the customers to do it. It’s your job, don’t be lazy
9. If someone is a vegetarian then start thinking about meat or animal products in various food items. Vegetarians don’t want that. Think about their needs instead of your next table
10. Check up on customers frequently so they don’t have to shout out your name,waive their hand or ask another server to track you down
11. If you mess up, simply say SORRY! Customers are forgiving but no one likes an arrogant and defensive waiter. We are human so level with us instead of acting like you are impervious to mistakes.

My feet ache. It is not just the normal pain caused by standing or staying active. I can feel my pulse in my toes as I look down at the mess the family of four left behind. As I pick up the credit card slip I realize they left thirty minutes after we closed. Then it hits me, I have done the quick math in my head and I received less than ten percent as a tip from the customers I just worked so hard to please. I calm myself down by making excuses for them. Perhaps they were never taught the proper way to tip. Read the rest of this entry »

Here is an E-mail I received. This lady is the exact reason we need this service charge. She clearly has no idea what she is talking about and has never been a server. Sometimes I think people just tell me that so I will listen to them. You can always tell when they don’t know what they are talking about because they start insulting you. Please try to understand.

Tipping is an added bonus to the pay you already recieve. I will not tipas an added requirement. I already pay enough to eat at the resturant that I choose.If you expect a tip, you do not deserve one. Your job is to serve me my food andkeep my drink full. You are already being paid for this. If you go beyond theexpectations of your job description then I will leave an amazing tip. You see, Iwas a waitress for many years, I did it because I enjoy people. When the service isnot up to par, I inform the manager. I will not tip just because you expect it.Maybe you should get an education and a better paying job. If tipping was manditory,it would be printed on the menu and posted at the door.

I am pleased to finally have this option available to you now. This is where we share our Thoughts, concerns, ideas, beliefs and anything Else on our minds. We will not allow any foul or offensive language to take place on this site. We would like this to stay polite, professional, courteous and clean. This is where we have the opportunity to “let the world know”. This is also a place for customers to comment as well. Have fun.
