What about smelly feet? I can't imagine somebody with smelly feet would tip well. I think waiters should be able to toss patrons in the waiting area to determine if they qualify for their services. Maybe a little interview table in which an application can be filled out and credit history reviewed.

You guys can keep flaming away on him, but at Chili's about 90% of the servers felt the same way, and do the same things.

I stayed in the restaurant/bar business for years after getting a "real job" because I enjoyed the work, the extra $$ and the fact it was great for a young man's social life, if you know what I mean. Being stiffed or poorly tipped was a rare occurence, probably because I was good at my job and had fun with it. Working in sales you deal with rejection every day. There is little rejection when you're the guy with the food and the beer.

Anyhow, as to tips, it was no coincidence that every place I worked there was alway a couple of waiters/waitresses who would pull the most tips every night. Didn't matter what section they were in, what kind of tables they got, what their customers were wearing. They didn't have deals worked out with the hostess. And they all had one thing in common. They were good at their jobs.

If you wait tables and do your job right, are nice to people and make them feel IMPORTANT they will tip you well. If you're doing your job 100% most folks would be embarassed not to.

I'm curious of the ages of these hardcore 'the customer sucks' folks.

Perhaps some of us were raised with the concept of customer service...

before you could purchase stuff online without stepping foot into a store or when you could talk to a real woman named Claire and not some voicemail woman.

If you read their posts you can see they are from a totally different generation.....

What you should see is how this post was first worded by young Cashman...he even went so far as to deny that he called customers stupid...and edited his post......here is what was originally posted:

Sad to say, their attitude is starting to become more prevalent amongst the spolied generation....

1) It wasn't a joke...it was meant as an insult on your part...

2) Don't need Metamucil....I eat enough roughage...
