I hate it when people talk on the phone while ordering, or in a grocery store line. It's rude.

If you're serving someone, it's really annoying.

I've never seen that happen. What cashier serving a line of people in a grocery store would have the time to talk on the phone? But I agree, that would be pretty rude. Pretty unlikely, however.

Only half of his complaints are actual problems. And yes we get it. You make money off of tips.

Ha yeah that sums it up. I hate the rare occasion where I work the front. People can be very dumb but so can servers.

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 drinksScarface_tm431

[QUOTE="warbmxjohn"][QUOTE="Vapor115"] Don't expect good service if you don't know how to tip. It's as simple as that

I know that there are a lot of idiot customers, but there are are waiters that are just as bad. Every time I go out to eat now, I get a teenage waiter that is worried about whatever text their BFF Jill sent them. I have even gotten waiters that bring your food and u never see them until they think it is time to give you the bill, but never once brought or asked if u needed a refill even when the restaurant is not busy. Had a couple waiters that asked what would you like to start with, we got the mozzarella sticks. When they brought those out they didn't even bother getting our main order then brought us our bill 5 minutes later.One waiter that really made me made was when they suggested a BBQ chicken and shrimp dinner, I accepted that order then he brought me a $35.00 steak then refused to take it back due to his mess up. In that scenario, my friends and I just got up and left. I usually tip 25% then round up to the nearest dollar since I always tip through my debit card. If they did bad, I will tip between 5-10% and write comments on the back of the receipt that would have made this a 25% tip. If they make more then 1 order mistake or are just plain rude, sorry no tip buddy. I go into eating situations expecting the waiter to follow the saying "do to other as you would have done to you.", meaning that if you treat me bad expect the same or treat mean well expect you to get the same.

I must say what an unfunny video if you dont like your job apply elswhere. As far as that tipping thing goes I tip if the service is adequate(and I do mean adequate not exeptional by an means)and I dont really care that waiters usually go through crap eitheras most everybody in America knows this before they apply for the jobif they dont want to put any effort into their job not only will they not get tipped they will most likely be fired.

I never said I didn't like my job, and i don't apply elsewhere because I make good money doing it- but I do have a right to voice my opinion in a comedic fashion about the idiots that I deal with- especially because, if you haven't noticed, MANY other servers share my opinions on the issue. It's not as though these opinions are preventing me from doing my job or maintaining sanity. Just some things that really get at me

[QUOTE="Vapor115"]

[QUOTE="warbmxjohn"]But the tip comes after the service, unless it is a repeat customer. So that doesn't really work like that.. warbmxjohn

But it's just a testament to why people should be more considerate and at least treat their server like a human being as opposed to a slave.

Remeber, the customer is always right, even when they're absolutly wrong. It's better to try and keep the anger in and let it out when you're not working, like in a vid game or on a punch bag, than at the customers. Even if they deserve it. Just bear in mind that idiots soon get their comeuppence eventually.

What a horrible culture, where staff are underpaid and tipping is expected to get good service.

That's messed up.

Yea I've heard rants about stupid people from people I've known who work. My borther used to sell car cleaning stuff in a parking lot and one time he approached a man and the guy pulled a gun out on my brother. Poeple can be real idiots.

Don't be a server.

Somewhere along the line, you've thought to yourself, "Why am I doing this? Couldn't I make more money elsewhere?" The answer is yes. The sad truth to this is the fact that people expect to be served by their server. When most people go to a restaurant, sit down with other people and friends, and start talking and relaxing, they aren't thinking about their server unless he/she is cute.

The reason I chose not to be a server were for the same reasons that the rant listed. I can't tolerate that kind of human interaction. I would go insane. I don't know how servers do it at all. Being satisfied with half of the minimum wage on top of "tips" horrifies me. Now, if they bumped it up to minimum wage, and tips were given up or cut by a percent, would that be more appropriate? I think so.

On that same note, when you make upwards of $100-$150 on a good night, is that fair?

Being a server means taking the good with the bad. You chose this job. You have every right to leave or ask to be placed somewhere else. Would a different job within the restaurant be a better fit?

On a more personal note, I typically leave a 35% tip gratuity. That also means that when I sit down and order a coffee, I'm probably not going to leave a 5$ tip.
