    Why would you want to say fuck you to a server?

    Server was awful to me and my brother. Brought us the wrong drinks repeatedly, rolled her eyes when we asked for them to be exchanged, put ice in no-ice drinks, refused to replace them, got our orders wrong, food was cold, we asked her to replace them and we saw her talking outside on her cellphone while we waited for our new meals.

    So she got a frowny face in pennies.

    Oh man, I am going to start carrying pennies just in case.

    Usually, if I'm really disappointed in my service, I'll still tip, but it'll be ridiculously small, and although I almost always put tips on my card, in those case I prefer to use change, so I'm like, enjoy your 6 pennies and a nickel, try not to be so awful at your job next time. I remember I went to this sports bar place one night with some friends, and they were packed, but it was literally over a half an hour between the time we asked for our check and got them, and it's not like our server ever stopped by and just forgot to bring them or anything, we were just sitting there waiting. I think my food and whatnot was like, 11.94 and I tipped 6 cents to round it to the dollar.

    be a man and just leave nothing, sheesh

    make a statement with your tipping. six cents is just passive aggressive. nothing is like 'fuck you'

    As someone who worked in the food industry, if you want to make a 'fuck you' with your tip, leave a very small amount of change (preferably a penny) because the server can rationalize no tip as 'oh they just forgot'

    a penny is like 'no I didn't forget and FUCK YOU'

    I guess a penny is a little worse than nothing yeah

    I aint gonna lie... if I see that a place is packed, I probably won't expect the service to be quick. Also, sometimes I get off my ass, walk to the bar, and ask to cash out. I mean, yeah, I generally also check on my customers too. Fuck, even without a waitress, I still tried to make sure the tables were bussed and the customers were taken care of. But when a place gets full and there are fifty pushy assholes intercepting you between bar and your next table, you might lose track of the chill [chat]ers at a table who aren't acting like assholes.

    My strategy in a situation like the one described: just don't tip. The service wasn't great, so don't tip. Don't be a goose about it... just, ya know... don't tip.

    But whatevs <3

    One time when the hostess was taking me to my table I stopped in my tracks and said,

    "Oh no! Not that jackass!"

    Not quietly.



    That guy didn't work there much longer... so I'm guessing I wasn't the only customer that had that reaction.

    *edit: I guess this was mostly @ fluffy. Sometimes they deserve the "fuck you."

    Ok, yeah... got me there. Dude, I can barely get time away from my counter when the place is dead, for fear of employer reprisals. Who the fuck actually goes outside and gets on their cell when they're supposed to be waiting tables.

    Well, that's not very hard, I haven't played it in a couple years, but the only thing it had going for it back then graphically or gameplay wise was jousting... which was a mod.

    I thought it looked super drab, which may be what they were going for, or maybe just the result of only having like 2 people working on it, but I was dissapoint.

    Oh I'm not going to be putting any judgement down here.

    My new position with tipping is that I've added it to the list of things I don't talk to Americans about because the various national positions are so widely divergent that the opportunity to misunderstand is rather high. I also follow local cultural practice where I am, so far as I know it

    Nah, she's talking to her elderly mother. The mother won't get out of bed and... I don't know it's hard to follow with the accents and the speed. Clearly they have a loving relationship based around swearing contests.

    Your position mimics my almost perfectly.

    On a personal note though, I think waiters should at least be given minimum wage (minimum wage here being something you can actually live off of if you work 35-40 hours a week) as well as potential tips.

    If you and someone else are working a section and you can get them to cover for you, it's not out of the question to go outside for a smoke or to make a quick call or just use the washroom. But you don't do that shit within view of a guest, or when it means your area's left abandoned, it isn't professional at all.

    When a section is incredibly busy, I'm talking popular sports bar on a fight night, don't go in expecting a seat or for your patronage to receive to be taken seriously. Those nights you've either got constant traffic, tables that come in and sit for hours hogging up your section, or something in-between where you're constantly taking orders, pouring drinks, and then -- if you can remember to -- getting someone their bill.

    There is a ton of shit to do working in the front of a restaurant, not to mention side duties besides, and if a guest doesn't feel like they've received enough attention, or that their needs haven't been properly attended to, that's understandable, but don't give your server attitude for it. It's a rough job, and personally I think everyone should do a stint in the service industry just to know what it's like.
