IMO anyone who screws over a server and thinks their job is so damn easy should be SENTENCED to work as a server for a week! [/B][/QUOTE]
Sort of in the vein that some countries have mandatory military service,I am a firm believer that EVERYONE should have to work 6 months to a year of food service,retail or hospitality.I found that the people who were polite when I worked retail were those that had also worked it at some point.Having been there,I am a very good tipper.However,if the service is lousy I will not leave more than 15 % and if it is really bad,I won't leave anything.If my server is attentive but the kitchen is slow,that isn't their fault but if they are too busy talking to someone else or paying attention to the cute guy/girl in the next booth or simply nowhere to be seen and my tea glass is empty,they will suffer.We have all had an experience where the service was just plain crappy.If the service is exceptional,I leave a really good tip and I will tell the manager how wonderfult the experience is.It goes both ways.
I am sorry that you are having a bad day.I do hope it gets better.
