I've been serving in restaurants for 6 years, and as I am not at a glamorous job it is a job none-the-less, and I make money, although not as much as I'd like to make when I finish college. However, Stupid pricks upset me, and I'm sick of them.

This video is a PERFECT example of why I hate my customers:

Kids are expensive. Smart people don't have as many kids. Idiots have lots of kids. Thus, idiots thrive. It's a sad, demonic, evil cycle. That's a shame ....

That was very entertaining. I am very cheap. :P I rarely go out. I prefer to make my own food. Although when I do go out I am very polite. A friend of mine is a sever. I have heard so many "stupid people" rants from her. :lol:

Having watched the video, I suggest you find a new line of work before you end up blowing up the resaurant. I know there are idiots out there and serving is not a easy job, but all this anger and tension will be the death of you.

That's one of the many reasons why I strive to be a good tipper - it's the least I can do for people who have to put up with that crap day after day. :P

I despise when waiters/waitresses complain about not being tipped, or low tips. I manage a video store (we also do wireless) and we have to put up with as many idiots if not more (people yelling at us for a $1 late charge) We go out of way for our regulars and do they feel obligated to give us money? No, and rightfully so, if you're only working a job to make money then don't be a server, quit relying on everyone else to give you money simply because you're doing your job. Do you tip your kids teachers? If not maybe you should if you want to start the whole 'we don't get paid enough' rant because some of the crap teachers have to put up with is ridiculous. Teachers are just one of the examples of people who deserve tips over someone who simply brings me my food and refills my drinks

Yeah I always try to tip good cause my mother was a sever for years and so I have heard all this. But seriously the standard gratuity is generally suffecient, because servers dont do THAT much for their customers, Get drinks, take order, bring order to table, ask if they need anything else (hot sauce, A1), refill drinks a few times, bring check.. Yes I recognize the work that goes into being a server, but even the best service I have ever had doesn't validate anthing more than 15% of the total bill.

this is really true, except that thing about the nametags. I'd feel really awkward calling my waiter or waitress by their name, when i don't know them. I do usually take note of their name, though.

Unfortunately, that's the service/retail industry. People are really, really, REALLY stupid when it comes to that stuff. And a lot of the time, they are a-holes on top of it.

Yeah I eventully need to make a guide to using fast food places because so many idiots are so clueless at my job.....

I also agree with the fat people vid in a sense. There have been people who came through DRIVE THRU (Likely because their fat asses can't be asked to do minor walking) who I actually questioned whether or not we should serve them. In one particular case I was wondering how this car was going because there were two people, both in the front seats, who were so ******* fat that they almost didn't FIT in the front and I swear thought their weight would make the front end touch the ground....

It's the same at grocery stores. NOBODY can read and everything is the cashier's fault. "I'm sorry, but this coupon is expired." "WHAT?!?!? YOU MEAN I CAN'T SAVE 20 CENTS ON MY FIVE DOLLAR GALLON OF ORANGE JUICE?!? RRRRAWR!" And they'll actually go to customer service to get the two dimes...I was almost tempted to give the stupid lady the change out of my pocket to stop her from yelling...

But I am not. If I served fewer idiots, I could give better service and thus make better tips from the good tipping nice people of the world.

Perhaps, but you are being selfish in this instance- for I have ALSO complained that many other jobs in America should be paid more, teachers are a GREAT example- and as an easy solution to your disposition, I say that since you're already putting up with the BS, get involved in serving- maybe you'll make more money, and finally understand

TIP actually means "to insure promptness" and was coined many years ago in restuarants WAY back. The idea was actually started by customers, and the tip was origionally placed on the table BEFORE the table was even greeted. It was basically someone's down-payment on good fast service. The highest tippers always got the best service. Regrettably, this is no longer the case- tips are left after the fact and often do not reflect the quality of service, but instead quantity of purchase.

LOL my first job was as a produce stock-boy in a grocery store, and I recall that my FAVORITE "idiot" was the "i can't read" people.

You know- the ones that stand under the RESTROOMS sign and say "where are your bathrooms?"

In a modern economy, it's kind of weird that servers are required to hold the customers service and food hostage. I know what you mean about dumb people as I've worked in different jobs in the service industry my whole life. I tip well, I always give a minimum 15% unless everything went horribly like food was forgotten, no refills etc.

I don't know what your hourly wage might be, but my brother worked in a Sonic for a while as a cook and even though the cooks and kitchen crew were in the back slopping grease and fries, the waitresses regularly maybe 2-3 times what the kitchen guys made. I've never worked in a restaurant myself, so I don't know what the kitchen crew makes, but from what I've heard from others, the bartenders and servers always make above and beyond what they do. They should get paid more to deal with the crazies, I'm not saying that. I guess my point is to keep it in perspective and realize that all work sucks.

good rant. i have to say i know what u mean. i usually tip around $6.00. for about one person meal. is that a good tip? i know what u mean with the phone. i get a little annoyed with the person right next to me. i've seen somebody talking on her phone for like five minutes while her boyfriend is just sitting there. it was a guy and a girl.

i use to work at a special events type of place (company picnics, meetings type of place) i was the person who would give out soft serve ice cream. there would be people that would ask if we had chocolate... i would say no we only have vanilla. i would have to say that about 30 times for about 3 hours of being there. people would ask even if they heard the person in front of them.

It's supposed to be a percentage. That said, 6 bucks is pretty good. Generally, a "good" tip is 20%. A decent tip is like 17-18%. An average/poor tip is 15%. Less means you really had problems with the service, or you're a cheapass. So, 6 bucks would be a "good" tip for 30 dollars worth of food/drinks.

I didn't really mind customers when I was a waiter, I think in the 2 months I could stand the ridiculous hours I had maybe 1 rude customer, who tried to blame their spilt drink on me. It was my co-workers I hated. And my boss.
