This joke didn't work.

Don't get my wrong, I tip and have no problem with it, I was just offering another solution instead of a douche nozzle not tipping and a waiter bitching about it.

Oh it will, lol. To be honest, the person who wrote that on the check probably wasn't even a pastor...it was probably just some lame attempt to get "famous" on reddit...if I were to guess.

Running around for hours at a time while dealing with assholes probably isn't as easy as you make it out to be.

Ok so people don't have to tip.

Ok.

And that's why I never wanted to be a waiter. I probably wouldn't make it 1 day.

My friend did it through college and loved it though.

Yeah....that shit is posted all over the restaurant, menus and receipts. Just because you cross it out.....doesn't mean you aren't going to pay for it.

I generally tip anywhere between 15 and 20%. I have only no-tipped a server one time, and it was last November on a trip to NYC. It took the waiter 30 minutes to get to our table. He didn't take our drink order, he barely spoke to us, ****ed our order up, the food sucked, and brought out the check with our food (which ****ING) pisses me off.

I wrote him a note and tipped him everything he deserved - $0

I wouldn't let other people touch my food...even if we had what is called a "food runner" on busy nights.

But for the record, a lot of restaurants have "food runners" so your food doesn't get cold while you're waiter is taking an order at a different table, you know, since they have more than just 1 table.

Me, I had an internal clock which was pretty much spot on that would tell me when my food should be close to up so I could be back there traying it up so I could deliver it in order to my table...because I ****ing hated ****ers who messed shit up for me and made my job more difficult (which happened from time to time with said food runners)...

but yeah, getting mad about someone else bringing your food to your table is ridiculous. I think everyone should work in a restaurant to realize how restaurants work.

SPOILER

every single one of your meals at any chain restaurant or 3 star or below restaurant is cooked by a mexican, probably not legal, and they don't wear gloves

ENJOY

It's not. It also depends on how the restaurant is run.

Restaurants seem to be the simplest things in the world, and yet it's nearly impossible to run one perfectly from kitchen to table. You just are relying on too many individuals with no cohesive strategy.

In that regard, I do prefer the European style of service. It is less of an "every man for himself!" approach (cue the Commie backlash), where each server is just trying to get in, get his, and get out in time to get ****ed up before the bars close.

You don't have a "section." Everyone kind of is at work together.

I don't know. I'm just glad that I haven't waited tables for long enough that I no longer have nightmares about having a full section and no one has food and I'm in the weeds and I want to die.

Yes but if he paid with a credit card he can dispute the charge and get the gratuity removed.

:rolleyes:

Then couldn't the restaurant charge him with walking out on his bill?

God's service sucked; so he only got 10%.
God should be a little more motivated. And, possibly add more pieces of flare.

except for most people, 95% of them, aren't assholes unless you give them a reason to be...

I did this for almost 8 years...maybe I was just better than 99% of the people that did this...that's what I always figured at least.
