Do you think it is reasonable not to tip your server?

[QUOTE="Springs1, post: 6221382, member: 6761666"] You sure couldn't deny my *FACTS* I see, because they are ALL THE TRUTH! Waiting a long time for anything is usually the server's fault. I didn't say always, but most of the time it is. I have seen servers wait to put in orders to get other table's orders that didn't call them over, buss tables, chit chat, etc. Putting in orders wrong, forgetting to put in orders, bringing out obviously wrong food, etc. Those are all delays caused by them if they did all of that, NOT someone else. I already know about servers making salads and desserts. Red Lobster makes the servers make side salads the manager told me. I have beennnnnn knowing this. This isn't news. Most don't apologize for their mistakes no matter how nice you are about them or even they remember at the table something they don't acknowledge they messed up or even lie. Most don't give compensation, a good 98% of them don't. Most of the time, it's not mistakes, it's laziness on the job in most cases. Some servers(which most places allow you to write orders down) don't write orders down. How can I feel sorry for a lazy worker? I got back in 1998 at my first job as counter help in a donut shop/diner a raise of 35 cents within only a month and a half. I am very hard worker is my point, I expect my server to try their best just as I did and still do at my current job. Can you truly say you try your best writing *ALL* request down and reread them before going to the table? Can you truly say you check everything you are handing the customer for errors as much as you possibly can without having to touch food to notice the mistake or mistakes? I bet you would say you don't, am I right? You just don't get that most of the time, it's not mistakes, it's pure laziness such as not checking the order, then bringing me my food without my side dish. I had that happen recently, twice the same side dish with 2 different servers over the years. I mean come on now, do you honestly think they verified their written order with the food *BEFORE* they brought ONLY US TWO people at the table our food? Just bad waiters. As I said, most servers don't try their best. Most are lazy in general. I honestly wish we could do that honestly. This way at McDonald's, I could get better service. I have some control over it by ordering a certain way. I have NEVER walked out without paying. I only punish the server for server mistakes, not kitchen mistakes. [/QUOTE]
