I like to be greeted by name with a smile. I like to be doted on. I like to be able to say "I'm in a hurry today, can you get me in and out quickly?" and have them do it. I like being able to trust those serving me to say "No, you don't want to order that today.." I like trusting that my food isn't spit in, or otherwise abused before it reaches me. I like finding that not everything I ordered and was served made it onto the bill. I like my ice tea glass to never be empty, which can be a challenge for any server with how much of it I can consume. I like knowing that serving me was a bright spot in their day.<br /><br /> All this and more is what you get when you treat your server with kindness, respect, and tip them well.Raymond Coolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595866200681513236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-298420183625899982010-08-02T19:05:27.978-06:002010-08-02T19:05:27.978-06:00You forgot one thing..Now a days at some resturant...You forgot one thing..Now a days at some resturants the tips go into a pot and when their shift is over the tips are split amoung all servers..My older Son Dan is a server and bartender and he said tips are down 80% in some areas..People are tipping less and less and customers say it is the economy. I feel if you can afford to go out then you can afford to tip...I always tip 20% no matter what..It's only because most servers are college students and they need money to live on or paying for college..Yes they may have a bad day to..I have never been a server and I have known many who are and where servers and it is NOT easy work..All I know is I would never rememeber the orders and I applaude all who serve because it does give me a night off so I tip good because I enjoyed not having to cook... :) When I go some where on a holiday I tip even more...<br /><br />So you keep up reminding people about all the hard work servers do do...I think this was a fantastic post...<br /><br />Have a great evening..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476106116117964270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-81348378975308802082010-08-02T17:33:02.856-06:002010-08-02T17:33:02.856-06:00I used to work as a deck hand on the "Barf Ca...I used to work as a deck hand on the "Barf Cat" (Wharf Cat) out of Port Aransas, which is a "party boat". Those people were the worst tippers on earth, after the crew busted their asses for them. Many would drop change in the tip jar, after spending $60 on a ticket, and drinking another $50 or more worth of beer. Some wouldn't even do that. Damn tourists... Things are much better on private charter boats, where me and the captain would split $200 or more. This from folks who had spent $1,200 for a day of offshore fishing. Too bad the government has killed the private charter industry with ridiculous regulations, fees, and taxes...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-22642589972792400192010-08-02T15:55:21.544-06:002010-08-02T15:55:21.544-06:00Excellent post, Sci!

BUT...if I want to make the point that the service WAS pretty bad, I leave two pennies on top of the paper currency I leave for a tip. Experienced servers know this means "Your service wasn't worth 2 cents, but I left you a tip, anyway"Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083153173061255844noreply@blogger.com
