In a industry that makes it living in tips I can’t believe the bad service I have had over the last two weeks in bars. Now I wouldn’t say anything if I wasn’t talking from experience but I spent my time in the food and beverage industry as a waiter and a bartender so I speak from a bit of past knowledge. What the fuck, are they hiring mentally challanged waitresses these day or what? You know the ‘mentally handicapped’ take more pride in what they do, than the servers I have had over the past while. It’s a hard job and it’s not for everyone, if you can’t do it be true to yourself and get the hell out. There are other jobs and there are people who can get me my beer before my mouth is so dry that I could light a match on my tongue, just by touching it. We as a group regularly go out for drinks on Fridays, I collect the money and pay the bill. I am quite generous in the tip, because:
1 I was in the business
2 I tip well for good service, I know where they make there money
I was in a bar where I regularly have the waitress say to me ” Are you sure you want to leave this as a tip?” where I left only 3 dollars on a 100 dollar tab. This night when I was out I honestly thought of leaving asking for 20 cents back on a $3.75 beer, and I only gave the waitress $4.00, but I am much to mellow for that….well unless this continues then watch out.
