      Annoying people exist. Asking for something is fine. Servers only really get annoyed when people ask for more than the average person and then tip less than the average person.
      There are high maintanence people at my bar. If they tip 20%, IDC if they ask for anything their heart desires.
      But if theyre high maimtenence and tip 10%, Im gonna remember that, since I have to tip out bussers 4% of everything sold, drink runners 4% of drinks (including refill costs, despite making nothing on them, food runners 5% of food, and bartenders 4% of drinks.
      If somebody tips less than 10%, I literally lose money by having them.
      Dont fear asking for things. Just dont go out to eat if you cant tip a server for the best service of your life, because one day youll get it, and people who stiff then are remembered for years).

      TheBobtheturtle lol why would anyone remember their servers name, its weird af to call a waiter by its name lol, and the waiving thing i think its perfectly fine, i think its a way to make the server know that you have already chosen the food or that you want the check. Usually in my country we only waive when we want the check and commonly waiters will know that u are asking for the check so they will automatically go to make the check. Anyway sometimes they take a really long time and literally end up forgetting

      If you tip well (20%) and try to be polite servers wont mind you. Mainly, order off the menu, don't complain, be quiet, tip well, and leave at an appropriate time (1h 30min). Servers will be happy. If you have a good server, tell the manager. You can ask your server for the manager, or ask another employee. Always preface it with "I'd like to compliment you/my server to the manager. The manager will walk out shortly excited to hear from you. If you have a complaint a manager will begrudging approach you.

    On the subject of tipping: They don't tip overseas! The restaurants pay their servers living wages! So if it is a tourist and they don't tip you, cut them some slack! I tip (minimum 20 percent but usually 25 percent) but I hate that the system is being gamed in such a way that the customer ends up helping the server make ends meet instead of the employer just paying a decent wage! Same goes for cab drivers or any other job where "tipping" helps the worker make ends meet!

    As someone from England, I will never understand America’s tipping system, it’s sad that people don’t get payed enough so they have to get people who don’t employ them to pay them enough to live comfortably. Here we tip £5 - £10 on average, I think tipping over £100 seems crazy! But then again that’s common in America and I get that the minimum wage is not even enough to live on.

      Unfortunatly that's unrealistic. The system has been this way for far to long. You have to factor in food cost and waste pay for cooks, dishwashers, prep cooks, bakers, host, managers etc. Etc. Not everyone would have the same mind set ethier. If a pasta dish that used to cost 13.00 suddenly cost 27.00 (which it would HAVE to increase that much in order to compensate for the now higher wage every server in the restaurant is making) people would be outraged. Resturant would close and be a thing of the past. Paying servers 2.80 an hour is a big part of how restutants stay open

    I will never understand the tip culture in the USA.. a restaurant is a service business like many others, good service is literally the job. Consumers shouldn't have to carry the restaurant's owner's responsibility. Restaurants - PAY YOUR WORKERS DECENTLY. Waiters - Start unions and/or demand appropriate legislation. Tips around the rest of the world are earned from an exceptional attention, good service is expected by default. Tipping can be even viewed as disrespectful in some places. The reason why decent wages in this industry are rare is due to workers getting used to the almost forced down tipping system that can lead to crazy sporadic income if the restaurant has a high influx of customers.

      It started during the great depression, I believe. Restaurants couldn't afford to pay their waiters so they shifted blame to customers if their waiter went home with barely enough money for essentials like food and clothes. Nowadays waiters and waitresses are allowed to get paid as little as roughly $2/hr (depending on what state) and tips are expected to make up the difference to equal minimum wage. While it is unfair that service workers arent paid enough, and while service workers and employers are trying to fix legislation its not immediate. In the meantime please TIP YOUR SERVERS!

      @@kaylamwalker1 it also isn’t that simple either, you don’t know what it’s like to be quadruple sat on a Saturday night do you? Having a party of 10, a 4 top, and 3 2 tops? I want you to go in on a busy night and eat one time at a popular restaurant and take some time to actually observe the servers and see how many things they are expected to do at once. All of y’all think it’s all about you and y’all are the only ones that matter when I got about a total of 20-25 other people I’m waiting on as well, and little things add up, “oh I don’t like this I want it off my bill.” “Can I get some more ketchup?” “Can I get a refill?” “I never got__ is it coming soon?” “It’s my sons birthday today and I have a cake so when we’re done eating can you__?” “Okay we’re ready to pay but we’re splitting the bill 10 ways and we’re not all paying card we got 5 people paying cash” Picky eaters who want to create their own dish, so on and so on. Do you think you could handle all that at once? Just you by yourself? It’s a lot. So y’all gotta be patient when you go out to eat in busy days, expect waits you’re not the center of attention. Often times your waiter isn’t inattentive, they’re just weeded. “In the weeds” is a sever term basically meaning I’m fucked rn..

    Whenever I go out to eat with family, we try to tip as much as we can and be friendly to servers. We usually don't end up with a very high bill (I'd say about $50 a lot of the time, maybe less), but we still leave at least $10 when we can. Usually more, especially if the server is good. A lot of my family has had jobs like that, and I most likely will as well considering I'm still in the beginning of high school and getting commissions for art. That will probably be my line of work, and I will most likely need a job or two working at restaurants to live while I'm working my way up and building a reputation. As long as you have the money, I don't get why you wouldn't leave a nice top if the service was at least decent? I mean, I get leaving a very small or no tip for horrible service, but that'll be very rare.

      @Lill2895 6 років тому +7

      Nope. If they have internet connections or the restaurant is clearly for food that caters to specific foods, google a place that might serve you. I worked at a southern bbq place and people would come and ask if anything was vegan, gluten free, healthy. NO. Why would it be that way? The question only made sense when we got foreign customers because they probably weren't familiar with the food. Or I also worked in a bakery. So many angry folks that were mad we weren't making healthy, sugar free, gluten free, vegan friendly cakes and pastries. Google it and find the bakery to cater to you. Those types of recipes might be in progress, but it's hard to make good tasting food recipes that caters to certain diets. Especially sweets.

      My mom has celiac disease, so I also try to accommodate people with allergies as much as I can. What I can't stand though, is when we have a big wedding reception going on (200+) and a guest comes up to me while we're already serving their party to tell me: "So... I am allergic to X... could you get me something different?" If they ask as soon as they read the menu when they arrive? Great. I'll get the kitchen on that immediately. Half an hour before dinner will be served? Okay, talking to the chef right now. But when we're already serving? And you expect me to magically conjure up food for you right this moment out of a busy, bustling kitchen trying to get the planned menu out as fast as possible? No. That just doesn't work. I'm always happy to help if they are willing to wait, if they forgot to ask before we started serving but I get seriously annoyed when they just expect me to randomly get food matching their specific needs out of thin air, stat.​

    Are servers really that annoyed with people with allergies? My friends with allergies do tend to eat at home most of the time, but if we all want to go out somewhere together you would hope they would try their best and take it seriously instead of being so irritated?
    Many places including pizza places have vegan, dairy free, or gluten free options. So it seems like a pretty reasonable question. :( I can understand if the customers are being unreasonable about it somehow but it seems like something that should be expected and trained for instead of being offended by it.

    i didn't actually know it was rude to wave at a server! i'd never snap or click my tongue at someone, or yell out at them. but if i see my server a table or two away i'll try to make eye contact silently, smile, and wave saying "excuse me" if they're within earshot. is that rude? i always thought i was being polite but maybe not...

      American waiters only make 2.13 an hour, when minimum wage is 7.50 averagely. They need tips to feed their family. The reason they are paid so low and live off of tips is so restaurants can keep Food prices lower. It also encourages waiters to be more friendly for that extra money.

      10 dollars is standard, if you where there for about an hour and spend 65-85 dollars, a general tip is about 15%- Also generally speaking middle to upper class restaurants have cheaper food prices in America than in Europe which help balance a tip, I.E. let’s say 4 people went to dinner for an hour and the total is 65 dollars, 15% of that is 9 dollars each person is responsible for about 2.25 of a tip, it’s not expected that each person pays a individual tip its collective, if your there for more than an hour/ hour and a half, it’s appropriate to tip closer to 20/25% because the longer your at that table the less people they can wait on. But 2.25 is not a big dollar amount for going somewhere, having someone serving you for an hour or so....

    I have been a server for years as a college job. Loved it at first but I worked at 5 star, 5 diamond hotel and I do have to say I’ve never experienced worse people. This is my college job and I’ve gone anywhere from people kissing me on the cheek every time they see me, to saying I have no shortage of words (when I was answering their questions.) I’ve been mentally degraded as well as working 12-14 hour shifts for awful money. I get that the job is to serve people but I also want to state that there is no excuse for being so rude and demanding just because you “deserve” the service. I worked my ass off trying to pay for school and the occasional kind person made it worth it, but the common, pretentious rich person made me want to tear my hair out.

    I actually got a server fired once, but not on purpose.
    I was at lunch with a friend that I hadn’t seen in ages. We had placed our drinks, appetizer, and meal order, and we were eating the chips and salsa while we waited.
    I was telling my friend about this creepy sorority video I had recently seen and was demonstrating the creepy snapping thing that they had been doing. I was very carefully making sure that I wasn’t drawing attention to what I was doing and didn’t even fully snap so there wouldn’t be sound. My hands were just barely over the table, and I wasn’t even looking in the direction of the server, but she came storming over and threw a glass of sweet tea all over me (the sugary southern stuff).
    She started yelling about how rude I was and about how she’s not a dog to be called at my whim. I apologized for the misunderstanding and was drying myself off with the (thankfully cloth) napkins while explaining to her that I wasn’t calling for her when the manager came over and fired her.
    I tried explaining to the manager, but apparently she had been a crappy server and had dozens of complaints against her.
    I still felt a little bad about it, but at least someone who needed and appreciated the job replaced her.
    We actually met her replacement the next time we came in, and she was a wonderful server and had already been employee of the week 4 out of the 5 weeks she had been there.

I've spent 20 minutes cleaning up ONE table for 6 little kids and it was absolutely disgusting.
