Yeppers....maybe the bunny should take an attitude check and go back to it too
Well, that was certainly not the case in my day - nor, in Oz, do I believe it is the case now - since reasonable, but not ridiculous wages are paid.
dlowan, I can read the English language and understand it's meaning pretty well, thank you! I don't need you to interpret what anybody else writes on A2K. c.i.
I agree a little bit with everybody here, which will be disagreeable to Codeborg!
I am sympathetic to the trials of being a waiter. I know they are dealing with both customers and the kitchen, not to mention the boss.
I think some waitstaff at midlevel restaurants make more money than I do, and am sure some at the really good places do.
I will leave 15% tip normally, sometimes way over that if it is a very inexpensive restaurant, and very occasionally a bit under 15% if I am just sort of disgruntled. I don't leave a tip at all if I have had totally horrible service (rare)
I reserve my right not to like being constantly asked how I am doing, without it being assumed that I am an arrogant customer. I do know that multiply repetitive asking how one is doing is probably a management direction, and not the waiter's solo manner. I also reserve the right to - one day I hope far in the future - stop conversation I am participating in by raising my hand, spit out my food to my napkin, and answer, "not fine." Until that distant day, I will try to practice waiting to swallow my food before answering my usual "fine".
I also thought Setanta was switching to speaking generally re the existence of arrogant customers, in this and other service industries, in his paragraph that offended CI - afterhe had agreed with him in the paragraph preceding.
We sometimes run into some real arrogant doozies in my own field of landscape design.
I think what it boils down to, is people suck.
Especially crack whores.
people suck...crack whores swallow...
No one insulted you c.i., that was most definitely a case of "if the shoe fits wear it . . . " and about 75% per cent of the crap you post in these fora is not appreciated by me . . . so i guess we're even . . .
So why is everybody so damned crabby today?
Is this a case of the "crabbys" left over from Friday the 13th? Lighten up guys, please!
The shoe analogy doesn't fit anywhere except on your head. c.i.
The Cunning Coney was exactly right, i was responding to her post. I had not a thought in my head about what you had posted. You decided to take offense where none had been offered--so if the shoe fits . . .
I for one do not feel crabby today......
((((((((((((((((((BEAR HUG))))))))))))))))))))))
for everyone!!!!!!!
Atleast your consistent with your insults, "and about 75% per cent of the crap you post in these fora is not appreciated by me . . . so i guess we're even . . ." The only disagreement I would have is that I thought it was closer to 70 percent. c.i.
Yea, someone pissed in a few of you people's cheerios today.
Damn it, lighten up, go kick a puppy, and put a smile on your face.
i was thinking a little more fibre in the diet might help a few people today.
Ah ... diversity. :-) I'll drink to that!
All is well in the world again.
Well, seeing as Slappy brought it up, 'crack whore' would definitely classify as a worse job than waiting tables. Even worse than 'crack whore' though, is 'assistant crack whore.'
CodeBorg, That's not what I hear; they're still duking it out in Israel, Congo, Afghanistan and Iraq. ;( c.i.
Well you know, it really is in people's nature to be like that.
I do whatever I can to quell the tide of war, because that's my personal preference,
but it won't ever go away completely.
What would the world be without human murder, violence and mayhem?
It would be heaven! (as Christians see it).
ie. You would be dead.
I'll have plenty of time to rest in peace later, but for now we are all alive!
The thread? ... so tip your waiter well, or stiff them as you please! :-)
