And if you ask for a box, I'd think its a safe bet that you also want a check. Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but if I can't/don't want to eat all of my entree, why would I want dessert?>

TO SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT YOU STUPID MORON IDIOT! We have gotten boxes and desserts ******LOTS AND LOTS OF TIMES*****. Same thing with bar drinks we have gotten bar drinks even after a dessert even.

If the person does want dessert, its not like it's a huge ordeal to take the check back. >

It is, because that means the server is spending our tip money when it's ***OUR DECISION****** if we want the check. It's not the person that isn't paying to decide what we want or when we want it. No controlling should happen when you aren't paying for my food, WE ARE!

The customer gets to decide when they want their check. It is an ordeal in that sometimes we felt rushed and went somewhere else for drinks and dessert. The server lost out on a higher tip from the higher check as well as being controlling got a deduction in their tip.

I have MANY of times ordered a bar drink AFTER asking for a box or a dessert. WHY do you act like EVERYONE wants things the same ways when they don't? That's why you don't assume, so then you won't guess wrong.

Lots of times we decided we wanted to try a dessert that we thought looked good and took the rest of our leftovers home for another meal OR if we didn't like the food we were eating, we ordered something else.

but if they make a mistake. It's because they made a mistake. >

NOT if they didn't even TRY it's not a mistake. For example, a server not writing an order down, then they forget something. How is that a mistake? It's not, it's SHOWING AND PROVING "I DON'T CARE IF I GET YOUR ORDER RIGHT" and that's just mean. It is. It's not caring.

A mistake is when you truly TRY and then fail, NOT when you "WINGED" it such as taking a plate of food from the kitchen when you took the order and not VERIFY it with your written order.

A good example, a waitress once took my order, then she brought out my food. My husband only shared an appetizer with me beforehand, but he wasn't as hungry as I was. So when she brought it out, I had said on the shrimp po-boy no tomatoes or pickles. She brings it out open faced with tomatoes and pickles on it, missing 2 sides tartar sauce(she only brought me 3, when I ordered 5) Also, the ranch was missing as well. HOW did she make ANY MISTAKES? I mean, you don't mess up that much and actually would have VERIFIED the plate you were taking me, DUH. That's how it ruins my outing and life. Most are like that, that don't TRY their best. Most are LAZY like that. This was during a slow weekday as we had some vacation days to use up, so it was like a Thursday and it was at 11a.m., not at a busy time, so there was no real reason for this kind of behavior to bring out the plate and not make sure it matched her order she wrote. Oh yeah, she also didn't write down the condiments, that's how lazy and uncaring she was. She got no tip, NONE. I mean ZERO EFFORT and CARING = ZERO TIP! HOW do you make 5 DUH mistakes on ONE plate of food you had to bring to our table considering that my husband didn't order an entree, just me remember? She PROVED AND SHOWED she didn't care. She didn't make mistakes, she was LAZY and didn't verify shit. I can see if she forgot one item, but 5 fuck ups on one plate of food during a non-busy time. I don't believe for a moment she checked one thing on the plate. When the food was ready, she just took it to my table. I *******IMMEDIATELY********* saw as she was still standing there to tell her about the tomatoes and pickles on my sandwich since it was open faced.

This is an example of what I mean by open-faced:

http://stevesmarina.com/Portals/0/ShrimpPo-Boy02.png

This wasn't the sandwich, but you get my drift. The tomatoes were really like DUHHHH. I don't know she could have put in the order wrong too, I don't know. She did apologize for the tomatoes and pickles, but she didn't apologize for the condiments. I did tell a manager about why I wasn't leaving anything. I told the manager how the condiments were just as important as my food was being right how there was NO WAY POSSIBLE she checked the food before she brought it to me. It ruined my vacation day honestly, because after that all I could think about was that uncaring bitch waitress. It still hurts.

NO, I expect that a comp would be given for MAJOR issues like if the server forgot to put my order in or put in my order completely wrong. I think those should get a coke off the bill or something like that. Major issues, NOT if they forgot my ranch or for a box or straw, those are minor issues. Overcharges are major issues.

Springs131 · 3時間前

The server enters the item and at no point does the server have the option to change prices without management getting involved.>

WELL DUH, but the manager being involved can be done WELL BEFORE the server gives me my check. You can notice a "5" is not a "9" all by yourself. A 5 yr old can, so can ANYONE, unless you are illiterate or need glasses or blind.

Springs131 · 3時間前

She acts as if a waiter that accidentally rings up a $4.95 item as $4.99 has personally insulted her and doesn't care about her. It is so strange.>

You don't understand that it's not by accident, because NO servers actually ***TRY********* TO CATCH IT YOU STUPID IDIOT! Don't you get that if they didn't take the check and the menu, compare the prices on it to FIND IT, they are *******PROVING they don't ***CARE**************** about the customer's money AT ALL, NOT ONE CENT WORTH, YET, WE HAVE TO CARE THEY ONLY MAKE $2.13/hr, HOW UNFAIR SHIT IS THAT CRAP, HUH?

Shouldn't a relationship between server and customer be *EQUAL CARING***??? I mean NOBODY has to tip in a party of 2. So they are at OUR MERCY to SHOW THEY ****************************CARE****************************************** about our money as customers.

WHY the fuck should I give a fucking care about they only make $2.13/hr, but YET we have to care about their money called a tip, huh?

It's not by accident. It's just like deciding not to study for a test and then make a bad grade, that's no accident, that's BEING LAZY, because you just don't "FEEL" like studying. Same thing, the server just isn't taking ************ANY EFFORT*************** to get it right to the customer. The server is supposed to find the error, bring it to the manager's attention to get it fixed and they can do this WELL BEFORE check time, like when we are waiting for our food perhaps.

HOW is it strange to expect someone that wants and expects you to CARE ABOUT THEIR MONEY THAT THEY ONLY MAKE $2.13/hr, but you have to give a shit about their money all the way? If you don't care about my money, WTF should I care much about yours?

It's just like the way servers feel. WHY would they want to bust ass for a non-tipper or a 10% tipper? WHY can't I feel the SAME WAY that I want respect? How horrible to want to get treated the way THEY want their money treated??? I mean really. It should be equal caring. NOBODY has to tip unless you are in a large party that has automatic gratuity or if you are using a coupon that requires it, which if you have a coupon that requires it, you can always decide to not use the coupon if you want to make a statement to the server by not tipping and I sure the hell would sacrifice my coupon amount even if I would have saved more(like let's say the coupon was $10, but the automatic gratuity was $8), I would in a HEARTBEAT not care about the $2 to make sure the server doesn't get paid a tip if they treated us horribly by giving us extremely bad service. It's worth the $10 extra to stick it to them per say. It's not about money at all. This is about wanting servers to care about your dining experience if they expect you to care about their income. The only way they will learn is through money, because that's why they are there, so that's why I make the money an incentive.

but I want to explain to her that she doesn't have a personal relationship with the waitstaff.>

Then WHY would we tip if we aren't cared about during our time there, huh? I don't have to give ONE FUCKING IOTA they make only $2.13/hr and leave nothing if I wanted to even if I had wonderful service I could do that, but I don't, because it's MORALLY WRONG to do that. I go by if I were making that much and gave good service that I'd want and expect a good tip, so that's why I am not a cheap stiffer person. I tip FAIRLY. We tip the way the servers treat us. That's how it should be.

Also, I do have personal relationships with some servers over the years. We requested these servers throughout the years. Some aren't working as a server anymore, some restaurants have closed, some have gone to work elsewhere, and we still have some that we request still.

It's personal when they want us to pay them when by LAW we don't have to. That's what makes it personal that they expect us to have sympathy for their only $2.13/hr, so WHY should we care if they don't??

Springs131 · 4時間前

NO, I had a full section with ten tables, so I didn't compare the check to the menu because normal people (may question) but don't freak the fuck out about four cents.>

NORMAL people don't want to be overcharged and expect their server to CARE JUST AS ****EQUALLY******* about their money, so WHY would you expect someone to care a lot about your money as a server if you don't care about their money as the customer, huh?

You didn't do it, because you were ********VERY UNCARING AND LAZY ASS*******, that's why. If you have time to doodle on checks, clean up, chit chat with customers, even do refills, etc., you have time to take less than a minute(for example a party of 2 would take around 20-30 seconds depending on the amount of prices that were even listed on the menu and what was ordered.

It's not about freaking out about 4 cents, it's about that the server is ********SELFISH ABOUT THEIR MONEY AND ISN'T THINKING ABOUT THAT THE CUSTOMER'S MONEY COUNTS TOO, NOT JUST YOURS SELFISH ASSHOLE!

I see sob stories on the internet about servers make only $2.13/hr that they have to tip out that they lose money if you don't tip, that they were up with a sick child, that they have children, etc., YET, they don't care ON IOTA about our money, do they? It's a SELFISH WORLD OF SERVERS OUT THERE!

Peter S. said:

"recently dined at Gordon Bierch in San Diego. I ordered a Coke with my meal and when asked if i wanted a refill, I requested to have a refill of root beer instead of Coke."

YEAH, it's not just me.

WHY would it not have ever occurred to you? A semi-frequent customer sometimes switched soft drinks when I served at the donut shop/diner I worked at a long time ago.

Also, it's a "fountain drink or iced tea" and those are all the same price normally. Especially if you switch from coke to dr. pepper, there's no price difference there.

adults don't "make fun" of other adults,>

They do at my job. You don't know how many co-workers have said shit about me whether it's how much I am eating to commenting on what did I use condiments I brought from home for to getting the last little bit from my frozen dinner on my fork, etc. A lot of woman in an office environment(I work in one) are GOSSIP people. When one person is not there, the other is talking about them.

You are ************SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WRONG*************** about what you are saying.

Also, you don't realize all the "ADULTS" that have called me fat, because I eat a lot of ranch on my blogs and forums on the internet that don't even know what I look like and some of the times it's the FIRST TIME they write a comment to me.

You are WAYYYYYYYYYYY OFF BASE on this. Adults do it just as much as non-adults do.

then their opinions shouldn't matter very much anyway.>

They do matter since you'd have no one that would like you then, what a VERY ********LONELY******* world to be in. Their opinions matter A ZILLION PERCENT! They matter all the way. Now, I don't care as much what people on the internet say on the blogs as much considering I am TRULY NOT FAT, but it still bothers me that they are so mean to a stranger to call me a name that they have NO IDEA of what I truly look like. That's just wrong and stupid of them.

because I like myself very much>

I like myself very much too, but the thing is, in my heart, it still matters what other people think. WHY is the make-up industry so HUGE if it didn't matter what people thought, NO WOMAN would BOTHER to wear make-up, think about it.... No one would dress up if you didn't care about what OTHERS THOUGHT. Think about that....

I am not registered to vote, so I don't give a flying fuck about politics.

No, I don't need help. I would rather not be fat to be made fun of. That's my main thing in life is not to be told mean things if possible and weight is something you can control in most cases.

Springs131 · 6日前

I worry, because it hurts that they want to give money to someone that doesn't deserve it and it creates the person to KEEP doing that SAME BEHAVIOR OR BEHAVIORS. Think about it, if a person tips someone $20 for doing almost nothing and a bad job, don't you think they won't have a REASON to improve or do anything differently, huh?

Springs131 · 6日前

You, as a person, matter more than your weight.>

That's where I 100% TOTALLY DISAGREE! Everyone views people on if they are fat or not. It's just human nature. People will criticize and then I also won't be happy if I would get fat.

For me, I'd rather DIE than be fat. That's just how I feel. It would hurt me more to be called fat than to be here. I just don't want to EVER,*********EVER*********** be fat. That's why I do my dieting every week with at least 2 days under 500 calories, one or two days depending how much weight I have to lose around 850-900 calories. My diet works. I used to do it much worse in my college years back between 1995-1997 would somehow(my body won't let me today at 39yrs due to it goes into low blood sugar more often now than back then), I would binge eat 3 days all day back then and then for 4 days straight eat less than 500 calories all 4 days each day. It would work. I would be back then 94lbs(I am 5'0" so I am short. On a typical friday, I am usually 96lbs-97lbs, usually 96 and 96 and a half pounds. I would truly rather not be living in this cruel world if I had to be fat. People are mean and cruel, so for me it would hurt MUCH MORE to be called fat(if I were fat), than to do what I do. It's so much easier than the tiny bit of calories exercising takes off only to make you hungier. I still get a lot of normal exercise with my job and chores, so i don't just sit down and do nothing.

I feel my weight is more important than my life. That's just how I view things. It matters what ***EVERYONE** thinks when they see me. That's how I feel, because the first thing people see is how you look. Before dinner I was 97 and 3/4 lbs, but I did the best I could since the holidays I am not doing as well as I normally am, but I am trying. Yesterday I ate less than 500 calories and today I ate around 1,120 or so. Tomorrow back to the 850-900 calorie and then friday to less than 500 calories. It works and it's so much easier than spending HOURS AND HOURS at the gym only to possibly get a heart attack as I have seen many of times on the internet and tv people having heart attacks running or treadmills, because overworking your heart, so strenuous exercise is not good for your heart either. I'd rather not expand that much energy. Call me lazy with exercise that's me. I love dancing and that's about the only thing I do more than walking sometimes that's exercise. I did more dancing when I was younger since they had no internet to be on. Now-a-days I bet they will have more of a fatter generation, because more kids are sitting on facebook or whatever on the internet or netflix instead of doing what I did when I was a kid go ride my bike for hours and dance for hours. I never got fat. The biggest I ever was for a brief time was 106lbs back in 1999 for a few months. I NEVER want to be that again as I am dancing in a video I have and I can see how my arms are fat and I tell myself "My arms look fat back then, you can tell." I would rather die than be fat. That's just how I feel. The world is a MEAN, CRUEL WORLD out there.

Do you ever eat out with anyone but your husband? If not, why not?>

Sometimes my parents and my husband. I have eaten out with some friends a few times here and there, but I am not close with a lot of friends, nor does my husband have close friends either(his friends are through facebook when he talks to them).

I don't find eating out with some friends is easy sometimes because the ones I dined with(this was like 4 or so years ago), were cheap like 15% of their bill one time was $2.08, they actually tipped to the penny that the cheapasses. Seriously, that's ridiculous. I just round up or down like if I was going to give that I'd probably round to $2.25 if I was going to tip that low and they did pay with a credit card.

We also have eaten out with my husband's family before some events. While sometimes it's fun, it sucks when you have bad service, but the person paying(my father-in-law) one time I can think of in particular, the service sucked, but he tipped wayyyy over. I don't how much, but probably double tipped like I am guessing 30% or 40%, because he gave cash tip before and then because we were in a large party the gratuity was added already. Anyway, it just hurts that people will tip well that hurt us, because then the bad service continues when we go back to that restaurant. Thankfully we don't go that often with them. Same thing with my dad, he is either cheaper than I want to be when we have good service that I have added some to the tip to go like 25% or he will pay 18% or 20% to a shitty server that caused us bad service. So it's hard to go out with people that don't agree. If my husband dies before me, I will have a hard time finding someone, because we have to agree at least 90% of the time when it comes to how much tip to leave, otherwise it won't work. We agree around 98% of the time what to leave, me and my husband. Sometimes I will want to leave more, sometimes he will want to leave more. Usually it's because if something bad happens, it's usually to me since my orders are heavily modified and I take everything to heart if something does go wrong as far as to me goes, so sometimes he won't agree completely all the time, but of course WHO DOES agree on everything all the time? There's no such thing as that.

As far as friends are concerned, he doesn't get together with anybody either to go out to eat, so we have that in common.

I have never had a lot of friends. I grew up very shy and not outgoing. I also am so sensitive I don't have one picture on the internet of myself, because I'd be afraid people would say negative things as I got in school in junior high school. Just showing a picture when I was a kid to a co-worker, I got that even though I never was fat nor now, the lady said my face looked fatter back then. She actually used that word. I can't imagine if I had facebook how mean people would be to criticize things about me. No way.

I just am not a person that has had a lot of friends. In 10th grade, I had a girl that was a friend once, she came over to my parents house to spend the night, then after that I had nothing to talk about, nor did she, so our friendship ended. I had that happen several times during my time in school since my parents were so strict so I didn't do a whole lot and hardly ever had vacations, so I didn't have a lot to talk about.

So anyway, I don't eat out with a lot of other people, but nor does my husband either. I just never had lots of friends. It's hard to truly find a TRUE friend today as well. Also, people change. Like the cheap friends I was talking about, they have a kid like he probably is 4 or 5 or something like that. I don't have as much in common with her nor does she have nearly as much time. I don't want to EVER have kids, so for me that is something I lack in common with A LOT of people such as my co-workers. Also, it's hard to be good friends with co-workers as some of them are gossip people and have said mean things to me before.

I just don't have lots of friends to go out to eat with. My husband doesn't either though, so you can't say I am the only one.

I am paid the same either way.>

While I see what you are saying, because of tipping, if servers went to a non-tipping practice, it would be hard for servers to want to do more work for the same pay than another table. That is just a fact.

I think you have very strange ideas regarding morals and fairness, my dear.>

No turns have to do with morals and fairness. Think about it like this, let's say your server asked if needed anything else and you said your check(you really need to be somewhere like let's say you need to get back to work on your lunch break). Your server goes to 4 other tables during that time that need some things like refills, condiments, ordering some items, etc. So your server does all of the 4 tables and leaves you last. Do you really think that's FAIR OR MORALLY RIGHT to CUT in front of your turn ALL of those times to make you last? Finally your server gets you your check last, but of course you have to have a minute to read it. Your server goes to 3 other tables again and doesn't come back to ring you up during that time, so now it's 15 minutes later. **WOULD YOU TRULY BE HAPPY******* that you are late for work, because your server UNFAIRLY put your turn last EVERY SINGLE TIME, huh? You know while you may not be in a hurry most of the time you say, that day, I truly don't think you'd be too happy with your server being UNFAIR to you, now you are going to get in trouble with your boss for being late.

This is just an example. You probably won't agree with it, but most people would HATE seeing their server cut turns so many times. Most would not be too happy and you know it.

Springs131 · 6日前

but nobody in management cares and apparently neither do you.>

I only care about servers that care about me. Do you understand that it's supposed to be EQUAL/EQUAL when it comes to caring, huh? That means if they don't care about giving me good service, why should I care as much about them when tip time comes around? It's not fair if they just get caring, but the customer doesn't, it's not truly fair.

I have no idea where in the hell you think you can easily get a 25$ an hour job in this economy but it's likely where you get your economic ideas since they're clearly from another planet.>

Keep doing you and maybe restaurants will start paying their staff an equitable wage and not depend on their patrons to directly cover the gap.>

Then service would be even WORSE, because there would be ZERO INCENTIVE to get you that 3rd refill or 5 condiments or more bread. It just would be worse if there were no tipping, because then one party that orders "AS IS" that asks for hardly anything the server will get the SAME PAY as my complicated many request orders and that JUST ISN'T FAIR NOR MORALLY RIGHT. You don't agree?

Springs131 · 6日前

Except it's not for service, as I just said. It's for them not to starve because the restaurant industry is fucked up. It has little to do with how happy you are and everything to do with them not dying because they're forced into a low end shitty job in order to not let them and their children die and you decided that wasn't a good enough reason to shell out an extra buck.>

Nobody is making them accept the job if they are a lazy worker. Everyone knows good service can make $25/hr and much more money than the average office worker could make in one year even.

http://www.topix.com/forum/city/evansville-in/TDCRUAHASKCVCGU0O

Seems like these workers aren't starving.

Tipping IS for service, that is why it's a the END and not a MANDATORY FEE(excluding automatic gratuity of course such as being in a large party or using a coupon that requires that).

Tipping is a judging contest of how hard and nice you have treated the customer. That's why you don't get a tip at the beginning MORON!

Springs131 · 7日前

such a cheap fuck.>

Has NOTHING to do with being cheap. It has to do if the server was good or not IDIOT! What is deserved is deserved, whether it's a wonderful tip for good service or a stiff for horrible service.
