[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6221696, member: 6750039"] And that's what I see here: Someone with a checklist looking for failure. It's wrong. People often feel superior to waitstaff for whatever reason. They think it's some simple job and there's nothing to it. This leads them to treat people badly. It makes them think a server working efficiently by dropping off a salad on the way to deliver their entree is actually skipping them or ignoring them. People do screw up massively and some people legitimately suck at their jobs. Complaining or not tipping well in those situations is ok to me. I don't typically get bent out of shape if an app is forgotten and delivered late - I won't lower my tip over something silly like that - but some do and I guess I can understand it. It's not my style, though. I like to get along with waitstaff ... especially bartenders ... for ... reasons. At any rate, I have a friend in each camp, so to speak. One guy looks to complain. He wants an excuse to not tip or to get angry and complain. It's sick. Another, though? Legitimately more than half of the times I've eaten with him, regardless of whether it was fast food or sit down, something about an order he properly communicated gets screwed up. It's amazing. I've seen him have a steak sent to him improperly (over) cooked [I]twice[/I] in a row. I don't know why it happens but it does. Thing is, he doesn't get all huffy and refuse to tip (er, he does get angry with fast food folks), he takes it in stride. Just weird that it happens to him so often. Like, I know he's not looking for a problem because I heard him make the order and see it come out wrong. Bad luck or something. [/QUOTE]
