TIP: How NOT to get a tip/gratuity.

Here are some good tips on what not to do, compiled from my experience. 1. Get my order wrong. Wrong appetizers, meals and desserts. Beverages? Not so much. 2. Bring main course first then appetizers. There is a reason why it's called that. 3. Look for a server to order. I shouldn't have to look for anybody once I sit down. 4. You're playing annoying music in the background. I don't want to hear F$%&@#! music. You don't know my taste. I don't want to hear music, especially if it's loud, and hip hop. 5. You don't come to the table often enough. I want refills. When you see I look like I need one or something else, come and serve me, please. 6. You come to the table too often. STFU with the "How are we doing tonight" already! Can't you see me I am eating? 7. Don't touch me, my wife/girlfriend/S.O. or my kids. Don't asume I'm friendly. 8. Pre-determined gratuity. Ohh yeah? Your employer knows how much I was going to tip? Well, I guess then it's fine if you just get the bare minimum since they know better. 9. You don't greet me/welcome me, or don't thank me. 10. You're ugly. Or ugly and fat. Ugly fat people get less tip. Sorry, but.. dawrwinism at work.

Though the whole "spitting in people's food thing" is actually a lot rarer then people who aren't in the food industry think, you sound like the sort of person a lot of waiters make an exception for.

Ah, the type my fiancee describes. She is a waitress and do you know how much a waitress's minimum wage is per hour? $3.50. Do you even have the slightest clue of all the stress that they're put under? Probably not, but its a hell of a lot more than it's worth. The sad part of all of this, is you get to be as mean as you want to your waiter or waitress, and they still have to do whatever you want. Ever wonder why you may not get your service right at the second you want or think you should have it? Look around you very carefully, it's not that they just don't feel like it. Sometimes they are having to cover 10-20 tables by themself. I'd love for you to juggle all those tables plus get everyone what they want. Don't ever walk into a restaurant and think someone doesn't deserve a tip. They bust their ass for very little recognition. Your points are like if your employer were to say "Well, you didn't do a very good job this week. So I'm not gonna pay you".

Here's my tip: If you aren't gonna tip your waitress or waiter, don't go out to eat. Because trust me, they remember who doesn't tip them.

TC sounds like a nice guy. :) megagene

Yeah, let's be a d*ck to someone over doing their job because they aren't all that pleasant to look at. I hope they spit in your f*cking food.

This tipping automatically, it's for the birds.

basically, if the wait staff doesnt like you your service will only get worse each time you come in.

Fair? nope.

reality? totally.

If I were a waiter and I knew that one of my customers had this attitude I wouldn't serve them at all. And if I owned a restaurant and a waiter wouldn't serve a customer for that reason I would totally back my staff up.

people like that just get worse service later. They fail to understand that wait staff has other more important customers to deal with then cry baby b*tches

If you're one of those people who feels the need to compulsively grade everything a waiter does and adjust the tip accordingly, fine, go ahead. I don't agree with it, but that's one thing. To not tip a waiter because they aren't right at your table right when you exxpect them, or because they are at your table asking you if you want anything, or because you don't like the music which is totally out of their control, that's just a whole different matter. If I owned a restaurant and someone didn't tip a waiter because of the music I'd tell them flat-out not to come back.
