I don't eat in restaurants with servers anyways because most of the food costs more than I'm willing to pay and then I have to pay 20% more on top of that? Yes, I'm a cheapass. This is why if I'm invited out to eat with a group, I won't eat/drink anything.
Been there done that...I think everyone at least once in his or her lifetime should have to work some kind of service related job......
Like it has been said before, customers tend to take shit out on the servers when in all actuality it is not your fault....Why people can't understand that you as a server do not personally cook their food is beyond me.....
Secondly, you should never treat the person who is handling your food like shit....
Case in point..: I was a server and bartender at a local restaurant before I got the job that I now have....I had a group come in....Two guys and three girls...the guys apparently thought they were too fucking cool....I take drink orders...a girl asks for juice...I inform her that there are no free refills on juice, per what I am supposed to do as a server....One of the guys gets mad and says " Did she ask you about fucking refills?" I didn't say anything.....They continue to be asses to me...I was like ok...You guys fucked up
They all order steaks...I ring in the order...I go back to the kitchen and talk to one of the cooks who I was really cool with....He cooks the steaks....After that, he turns a blind eye to what I'm about to do...
I drop the steaks in a puddle of yuck water that settled on the floor behind the cook's line...I then spit on the steaks, put them back on the plates and take them out and present them to the assholes...
They eat said steaks with no hesitation....
They ask for the tab....
I bring the tab and one guy grabs it....Their check was a little under $100....He gives me $200 and they all get up and leave......
So basically, I made a little over $100 tipwise on these asses and they just ate some nasty ass steaks.....I guess he was trying to show off...
I did not feel bad...In fact, I laughed my ass off.....
Moral of this story: Do not fuck with your servers because you never know what they will do to your food....
and btw, I tip very well when I go out to eat.....and even if the service sucks, I leave $5, minimum....
so 1- 15 y/o's tip good?Quote:

I personally dont think they should make over 10 bucks a hour for a job a high school student should be doingQuote:

:blah:
Anyway, I used to average anywhere from 400-1000 a week and that was @ Applebees...I have known people that have worked at more expensive places and cleared anywhere from 50-70k a year.......

You must work at the wrong place, I know servers that rarely deal with this kind of thing. I have never heard my friends complain and they make over $100 a night(which is good at 20 years old). It has to a be a shitty job to make you pissed enough to make a thread.
Although I'm frugal,
My standard tip is 20%
Impress me and you'll earn more.
You get +2. you seem to know whats goin on. That is exactly how it happens. the kids who come to a casual dining restaurant and get WATER AND APPS!!! I hate that shit more than anything. YOU HAVE WATER and SNACKS AT HOME & THEY COSTS LESS. If you come in a casual dining restaurant and order less than $10 worth of food, leave me $5 bucks or GTFOQuote:

Its worse at casual dining restaurants (i.e. Chilis, Fridays, Applebees) because the kids have more access to it, when you move up to more formal dining (Most Italian restaurants, Copelands, Bahama Breeze, etc) then its not as bad. BTW, it is a pretty shitty job. I quit today. I have somethin a whole lot better lined up :DQuote:

My mom got me into her company doing project managment for a major construction co. I just gotta finish up school, I should be alright until then. and its ridiculous $$$$ too, especially for being under 30yrs old (22)
I worked at Chick-fil-A for three years, making anywhere from $5.50 an hour to a staggering $8.25 as a supervisor. For this incredible wage I worked eight to ten hours a day, often split shifts that were configured by the owner of the store so he wouldn't have to pay me for my lunch breaks. I slaved away as hard as I could to make my customers happy, but there was never any hope. I could work my ass off on the front counter and the best I could hope for was the customer wouldn't come back.
For all this hard work, being the whipping boy for customers and being bitched out for there being seven chicken nuggets instead of eight, I got jack shit. So I quit and found myself a real job at a car dealership. I make shitloads more money, work less, and feel a fuckload better.
That being said, when I go out to eat or when I order pizza for delivery, I tip 25% or better. No one ever thought to tip the fast food guy because it's not required for his job. Now that I make more money and am in a better part of my life, I make sure that those who are still suffering get some kind of compensation for their time spent helping me.
Which dealership, and how long have you been there? I used to sell cars and I didnt like it that much. Made alot of money tho.Quote:

Those who are still suffering? If they are limited to a shitty job at a fast food restaurant, then they have to prepare to deal with idiots.
It's just like PURPOSELY moving to the ghetto; you will most likely have to deal with stupid shit, get shot, or lower your standards to fit in.
