If they aren't management, they don't get the option of turning away customers when it becomes too busy, or of calling more people in to lighten the load. So what you're saying is that you advocate personally punishing individual servers for circumstances beyond their control. @Dennis Flaherty@facebook Servers can’t control how many people come into a restaurant.

I don't care how big a smile or how good looking the person serving me is, if I do not get good service I do not tip and I make it a point to find their website and voice my opinion about the lousy service I got. 80% of the time I hear back from someone higher up in the company usually coustomer service and recieve an apology for what happened. I dealt with customers for over 35 years and would never allow any customer to be treated with disrespect by any of my employees. The employee got one warning, had to attend two hours of training and if it happen again they were dismissed. What da what?

You are disliked by the service industry. Walking in with a smug, higher-than-thou attitude, won't receive stellar table service. Being waited on does not allow for poor manners and lack of respect towards the server. Acting entitled won't go far. Most managers smell that b.s. from a mile away. One lost tip isn't worth the heartache. The best customers are easy going and kind. Believe me, servers work for those people. I'm not saying there aren't people with poor work ethic, but it goes both ways. Btw, what year is it? How long has tipping been apart of our culture? You'd think people have never heard of it before. Or they purposely try to create a situation where they can avoid having to tip. Real stand up move... It's aggravating to give outstanding, attentive service and get screwed. If you can't afford to tip, then don't go out to dinner. But most importantly, don't be an ass. Leave the smug entitlement at home. Odds are we make more than you do anyway. @Debra Ann Ippolito@facebook
