Uh huh.
The last time a story like this cropped up (a few months ago), it was a hoax by the waitress.

Wasn't that a comment left on a credit card receipt or something?

I want to beat his ass with a 2 x 4
OK, this is pretty aggressive, so I'm going to say 4 martinis in a 20-minute period on this one.

One thing I really like about Japan - zero tipping. Taxi drivers, bellhops, waiters, doormen, zero, and if you offer a tip they're embarrassed.
Of course, everything is expensive as hell.

DUmmy Taverner is jonesing for a fix.
He carries the 2X4 to beat at the spiders and rats he's starting to see.

If that does not sum up the insane thinking of the left I don't know what does.
I'm a loser that needs free money for poor performance therefore I reward failure and poor performance. It's a race to the bottom for these dolts.

Must be the guy who makes giraffes and horses out of long skinny balloons.
I wonder if he puts that on his 1040 form.

I just remember someone here I think saying something about blowing their balloon knot or something so it made me :rofl:

Nope. That note was most likely written by a left-handed woman.

Shitty service = shitty tips.
What a hard concept for the DUmmies to comprehend. I'm a pretty good tipper, but treat me and my girlfriend like crap and you'll get nothing, like the waitress at BWW found out last year.

tell us what you did
Was watching Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals last year between Vancouver and Boston. We were probably the only to Van fans in the restaurant with a lot of Bruins fans around us. Our waitress comes up and starts telling us we need to leave because of my jersey, that other people didn't like it, didn't want there to be a fight, etc. Since I'm not talking to anybody, I call BS and she says that some guys at the next table paid her to come over and do that. Got the check, crossed through the tip line and paid for two meals and a few beers. I probably would have tipped her 30% since the service was pretty good for being busy, but I don't think you should mess with your customers like that, especially ones not causing problems.

I was a waitress one time. This guy came in with his 2 kids. He was letting them throw food and crackers all over the restaurant. He ordered spaghetti. I saw his kid for the last time spill a drink and he just acted like nothing happened. I plopped his spaghetti (dropped the plate) and it splattered him and his kids. I was fired but MAN THAT FELT GOOD :lmao:
-
tell us what you did
Ill tell you what my friends & I did.
We put the tip, in coins, inside a water glass. - About 15% BTW., Filled it with ice water from what was left on the table and flipped it upside down and left. If the waiter was smart, he got a bowl and slid the glass to the end of the table, spilling the water and coins into it. If he was stupid, which I suspect he was, He lifted the glass and drenched everything.
The waiter was a total douchebag. It was easy to tell he was doing it for the pot and Cheeto money. The service was slow, he screwed up the order, and he reeked.

Similar story here - Tipping is something that is generally not done. There's usually a "tip jar" at the register but it often goes unused.
We have a pretty high minimum wage - and prices for service reflect that. As does attitude of staff, unfortunately.

Finally put to good use that liberal arts degree that he spent 6 years is school for.

I didn't realize balloon twisting was an occupation. Only in DUmmie Land! Ya just can't make this shit up!

After being a server I over tip unless the service is awful and then they still get 20%

9. Service was virtually non-existent,
and I was at 1 of 2 or 3 occupied tables. She gave me menu after I'd been sitting for almost 5 minutes, and she asked for my order 5+ minutes later. And this was at an airport restaurant/bar!!! I may have left 13cents, actually, as the bill was $4.87 or so, so I left a $5.

121. Then it has to be a hoax. Canadians don't do things like that. :Silly: nt
Ask servers who live in the border states, Canadians are the worst tippers.

Yes they are....and I live in GA. They come in on their way to Florida.

:lmao: Nice. I would have slid it over a plate, took it to the back, put it over the dish sink, and tipped the cup over. Then take the change off the plate, and put the plate in the dishwasher. Voila. Job done. If I were you though, I would have at least peered in the window to see what happened. :-)
I like Gina's story the best though. :rotf:

Canadians may be bad tippers, but no segment can be as bad as those that used to attend the COGIC convention here. I wonder if Gina had any 1st hand experience with that?

At a restaurant one night last week, I had to spend a few minutes at the bar waiting for the rest of our party.
I had a drink, and before I finished the others arrived.
I tried to give the bartender a couple of bucks, and he said no I should hold on, because the drink would be on the restaurant tab, so just tip then.
I'm glad I'd already stood up, because I was so surprised I might have fallen off the stool.

All DUmmies should carry one to resolve their issues.
Oh, almost forgot. I carry a Glock.

Btw, I've wanted to do what the patron did MANY times. There's an older blond lady in a restaurant at BWI called "Peppers" that received a generous tip today due to her attitude and attentiveness.
-
I had to read that twice, I thought you meant that the older blonde lady was named Peppers, and I was wondering what she did when she was a younger blonde lady. :naughty: :lmao:

Summer of 2010 I was in Philly and was recommended to the Brauhaus Schmitz for good German food and beer. There were four of us in the party and it would seem like four retired military guys would be pretty easy to please as long as you brought us food, beer, and gave a smile every now and again. Well, that seemed like a little too much for our waitress.
We told her to split the bill (she didn't), they were out of Aventinus (not a major blow, but it made me unhappy), she was snotty (bitchy, not sick), and told us she was too busy to split the bill at the end even though we had told her to at the beginning. :banghead:
Instead of arguing with this prissy little bitch, I pulled my card and told her we just want to get out of here, put the bill on mine. Apparently, that was her "trigger" to set her mouth running. I had to stop her in mid bitch to say "Just put it on the damn card!" and gave her the hardest "daddy" look I had.
She came back with four separate checks.
Now, I have been in shitty customer service jobs (busboy) and understand how frustrating it can be to deal with people who don't give a damn since they aren't in their home. They let their kids throw food everywhere (ala Gina), they're demanding, they're messy themselves, etc. I get it, I've had to clean up after it. Which is one reason why I wipe the table before we leave, make sure there is no trash on the floor, make my children act like civilized human beings instead of animals, and stack the empty dishes on the end of the table.
I value someone who can keep a good demeanor and be attentive when dealing with several tables of assholes at one time while dealing with mine so I like to treat them well. I've tipped damn near the amount of the bill in the past to those servers who have done their complete best to make sure we were taken care of and it pays off, I've had a couple of different servers argue over which one of them got my family in their section (having a reputation as a good customer and tipper will guarantee good service). If you give me poor service, it will be reflected in the tip section of the check.
The snotty little girl at the Brauhaus Schmitz? She got a tip: Throttle back your attitude or find another line of work.

First, you would have to have a job to get pissed off at a customer, loser.

It could have been a restaurant that has the servers split the tips. In that case, servers aren't allowed to take personal tips (at least in the restaurants I'm aware of). Personally, I think that stinks because slackers get to split the tips with great servers...
