WAITER'S RANT.
Hey, you people who don't serve tables, or who have never worked in a restaurant.
Did you get a gift card to your favorite restaurant from a family member? Awesome!
Well, lemme tell ya something that will save you from your server cussing you out under their breath and wishing you to the lowest level of hell...
When you tip, don't tip on the amount the bill is AFTER the gift card is used. Tip on the amount the original bill was BEFORE the gift card.
For example, your bill is 50 bucks. You use a twenty five dollar gift card, then pay the other twenty five out of your own pocket. Well, you'll get a receipt that says the check is now only $25.
DO NOT TIP ON JUST THE $25!! YOUR BILL WAS ACTUALLY $50 AND I DID JUST AS MUCH WORK AS I WOULD HAVE IF YOUR BILL WAS ONLY $25.
You tip on the amount the bill was BEFORE your freakin' gift card.
GAAH.
This is the one subject (tipping waiters) that will make me raaaaaaage. RAAAAGE. RAGE.
If your server sucks, yeah, don't tip 'em well. But if everything was fine, tip 20 percent.
20 percent isn't a lot.
If you think 20 percent for a tip is too much, you have obviously NEVER EVER wated tables and are completely ignorant of what really goes on behind the scenes for servers.
And if you don't tip or tip little or don't think it's necessary, then shame, shame, SHAME on you.
ALSO:
Don't suck down your drinks too fast. The more and more we have to refill your stupid iced tea or soda, especially if you're an adult, the more we're more likely to F WITH YOUR FOOD! Bwaahaahaa. Just kidding, but seriously, don't f with people who serve you food.
If your table needs a lot of things, ask for them all at once. Don't ask for one thing, make the waiter go get it, come back, ask for another thing, have the waiter go get it, come back, and then ask the waiter for another thing, and then come back... This is called "running me to death" and will invoke wrath from everyone on the staff upon you. Ask for everything at once.
Don't sit and linger in a booth when it's close to closing time. Your server has things they need to do, and just by sitting there wasting time, your sever is wasting time right along with you. But instead of having a nice conversation with friends like you are, they're staring you down and shooting daggers at you with their eyes. This is called "camping". If you are a camper..... ::bites tongue::
Bread? You want more bread? More bread? And more bread? Ok, yes, holy goodness, would I love to shove entire loafs down people's throats. Here's your "more bread".
Ok, had a bad night at work last night. New Years Eve people are rude as hell. And mean.
Since when is it OK to dump all your rage onto the poor guy taking your order? We did NOTHING to you. All we do is take orders, shuffle product, and make sure your glutenous, rude, inconsiderate, butts are taken care of and well fed.
Let me come in to your job and be a complete .... I doubt I'll get a free anything, much less catered to and bowed down before.
EDIT: This forum has so many subforums, I didn't realize this belonged in OUTSIDE until just now. Didn't even know this forum had the OUTSIDE subforum.
