buffets get no tip. sizzler type place doesnt either.


my lady and i eat out alot so we pretty much judge the waitressing everywhere.

after being seated did they take long to take our drink/and or appetizer order?

i hate waiting. i came to your restaurant because i was hungry and want to eat, not sit around while you do other things.

bring drinks back promptly. ask if we are ready to order or need more time. if we need more time, it generally means 2 minutes, not 10.

when we do finally order, do NOT try and be a salesmen. this goes for when ordering drinks/appetizers. i'm 22 years old and i rarely drink, and since i drove to your restaurant, im definatly not going to drink. my lady is 20, and although she drinks, you wouldnt give her a drink becusae she's underage ANYWAY. so do not try and sell me your overpriced alcoholic drinks, or appetizers. you are there to take my order, not sell me shit. i feel like a douche when you ask if i want a beer or wine or a mixed drink and all i respond with is "i'll have a coke". do not automatically assume everyone in the world drinks. if i want a godamn beer i'll order a godman beer. if i want those 10 dollar nacho appetizers i would order them too.

anywyas so when i do order, DO NOT tell me i cant have it the way i want it. i can go to burger king and get it my way, same should apply if i want mashed potatoes with my fish, even if its not part of the "dish" you can put that shit on the side and bill me for it and i wont complain at all. i was at this diner in santa cruz. good food but shitty service. the menu says no substitutes when its busy, and i can udnerstand that. but my lady want a veggie omlete with avocado, and the veggie omlete they had listed did not have avocado, so she asked for it. the waitress siad she could not do that, but she can order the "build-your-own-omlete" and get it that way. uhh how about instead of being a bitch, you take the order, and just write it down as a build your own omlete. needless to say, she got a weak tip.

you should not have to ask for a re-fill. ever. you should be on the ball with is. and use it as an exuse to ask if the food is okay. do not ask if the food is okay and not give me a godamn refill. i put the empty glass on the edge of the table for a REASON
hell you should dring the refill no questions asked. when we are done DO NOT take forever to bring the check. you may ask if i want desert, but only once. and do not push the issue if i dont want any.

the mainthing i hate is going out and the waiter is a fucking salesperson for the place they work. stop trying to make your company money, and start trying to make yourself money. if you are trying to hike up the bill cause you think you'll get a bigger tip, dont. becuase you wont get a bigger tip, you will get a smaller tip for being rude and trying to sell me 8 dollar lobsteritas that i dont fucking want.

being a waiter is not a hardjob i dont care what anyone says. there have been times were i get awesome service and i give huge, huge tip. and there are times where i write down ON THE CHECK that the service was shitty and not tip worthy. its kind of like a comment card and i can only hope that whoever is in charge will notice. i dont give a fuck if waiters live off tips. nobody made you become a waiter. if you dont like rude customers find a new job.
