I’m glad I eat at home pretty much exclusively.
either she’s have to remember you, or she’d have to be clarivoyant. don’t you tip AFTER the meal?
Everyone needs to watch the movie “Waiting”. Another tip (no pun intended), Never, ever send your food back and say it’s not cooked right...
I don’t know what to think of this one. I don’t want anyone spitting in my food obviously and that isn’t a proper response to a poor tip. But I suspect she was just blowing off steam at diners who are cheap and rude (and there are a lot of them). Its true that wait-staff depends on tips as part of their income, not as an extra. So I’d be angry too if I was working a big table and got a small tip, unless I screwed something up.
I guess overall I probably would not have fired this girl, but instead told her that Facebook is not the place to be blowing off steam about cheap customers.
“Isn’t a $5.00 tip at Chili’s OVER tipping?”
Did you forget the sarc tag, just askin? That sounds like a lot of food and service. For good service the tip used to be 15%. It’s probably close to 20% now.
Worst Tippers
1) A certain race of people who cannot be named for risk of being called 'racist'
2) Teachers
THE Cardinal rule of dining out: NEVER f*** with people who handle your food!
This is why I hate eating out. I don’t like other people’s nasty germy hands on my food and I certainly don’t like attitude from waitstaff.
Flame away but I also don’t like the idea of waitstaff expecting a tip and who get ticked if they aren’t tipped 15 to 20 percent. Sorry, but their employers should pay them what they’re worth. That’s not my job. My job is to be the customer and their job is to bring me clean food in a timely manner. Two minutes at my table does not justify $10. Heck, the food service person at the drive thru services customers in cars better. They take your order, give you your food and handles the bill whereas many times it’s the cashier person at the exit desk who handles the bill at restaurant and not the waitstaff who’s usually off hiding so they don’t have to be bothered with you. I don’t tip the bank teller. I don’t tip the store cashier though I do make it a point to tell the manager if a store employee was extra helpful. So, what makes waitstaff so deserving?
Good for Chili’s.
I do facebook a little, and there are two rules IRT my work: I NEVER divulge for whom I work (it’s large) and I never say anything bad about my boss because he is the milk of human kindness.
"I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job."
About 6 or 7 years ago I would wait for my daughter in a small diner in my area. Monday through Friday she would get off the bus and meet me there. There was a plain country gal,who was starting out in the diner as a waitress. She was trying so hard to take my order and do a good job. She would get red and flustered. I would just order a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. I always left her a five dollar bill every day for a tip.
