I think that if there was a mandatory gratuity, and I really wish that the price of decent wages was reflected in the food instead, and you received lousy service, you could complain at the time to the manager. If that didn’t help, you could do a real number in social media (last resort).

To the topic, isn't the purpose of a negative restaurant review to inform people of a problem with a particular restaurant, and thereby potentially reducing their business? It's free speech, and entirely appropriate as long as the reviewer is being accurate, fair, and honest.

I think people are entitled to their opinion and while I consider it, but I also believe some in the parking lot idea. I think it is more of one strike.... once or twice more and I do not like it . I will probably not be back.

K, I understand about mandatory gratuity, but the problem to me is that the servers are not paid a proper wage in the first place. It is assumed that they will get a gratuity. Some people won’t give it to them for any number of reasons; they are curmudgeons, cheapskates, or too poor to afford to eat out... whatever, the server ends up being short changed even after they give great service.

Because servers make more in tips than from their base wage which adds up to substantially more than minimum wage.

If people were not satisfied with their earning while working at a restaurant they would find other jobs.

This there's a tough call. I've been in a situation before where a particular establishment really had a bad policy for seating people during the days of heavy lines. They had tables left open all the time and just didn't hire the staff and didn't care. I never could find the owner of that establishment to ask him what he thought about three or four large tables going unused every time we were there. I did post that because I didn't feel that it should go unnoticed since the management team just literally put their nose in the air and walked away and I don't do that sort of stuff very often. So it's up to the management not in all cases but in most cases to respond at least in a nice way or give an excuses to why something is not dealing being dealt with properly if they don't I think they've created their own noose

Just curious. Should the health dept. stop posting health and safety issues for the public to read.
Got news for ya, poor management is poor all the way to the kitchen. The buck stops with management, if they could care less, it’s time for health and safe inspectors to show up. Let them be uppity with health inspectors. You would definitely see who has the upper hand. |

Some servers may make more tips than minimum wages some times. I would like to see every server, cook etc. properly paid and if they don’t do a proper job, fired. This dependence on stranger’s generosity has to go the way of the dinosaurs.

If they don’t care about your health, they don’t care about your food.

Be careful what you wish for with regards good tips/bad tips. If you don't like the service, tip nothing and complain to the manager. If it's not bad enough to tip nothing and complain to the manager, then it's good enough for the customary 15% tip. If you tip less than 15%, and don't talk to the manager to complain, then don't expect good service the next time you go to that restaurant.
Servers DO rely on tips in this country, like it or not. If you treat them badly even when they give you good service, they WILL remember you when you try to become a regular. I had an aunt who always tipped 50 cents, no matter what she bought. She complained of bad customer service everywhere, said no one was worth more than that. My thoughts - if she had tipped more appropriately she probably would've discovered the service is actually pretty good, but why bend over backward to please someone who will just insult you for their efforts? |
