Warren Sapp stiffs waitress

[R.J. MacReady]

It's blatantly obvious if the waiter is at fault or truly slammed. Use your eyes.

Hey, your the hard ass when it comes to tipping, you tell us if you notice these things.

Like I said, that punishes the good servers. You will pay more for your food/drinks and can be 100% sure you wont get great service.

Good servers could be paid a higher wage.....just like the way it works in normal life.

I just did tell you. Is reading hard too?

I have worked with some really great servers that make $600-$800 on a decent Saturday night between 4pm and 9pm. They would have to be paid about $140/hr to equal. Need I say more?

Not at all. That money is most likely not reported to the IRS as income, it doesn't help the place to generate income. It might help sales for what he/she does to get that kind of money.

Also....If servers are making that much money what is this whole thread of bitching about poverty about?

Because people are suggesting that the solution is to pay servers a flat rate so they don't get stiffed. My point is trying to explain how that isn't a good idea. That is why restaurants don't do it.

She should have been fired on the spot.

You cant be serious. Knowing how much he ate, she prob would have been to that table alone 15 times. I would have made her employee of the month and put her pic up. Reminds of a Lebron James story where he kept the restaurant open another hr or so ( 2 am) and then only tipped $15 on a 4 digit tab. Fuckers can drink there dom or cristal but be cheap fucks

Posting bitching that someone didn't tip you makes your restaurant look awful. Instant termination.

 

[sonnyblack65]

That is my point about a non tipping restaurant ..is it not? Let them make a regular wage and not beg for tips. Everyone wins but the servers who get more for acting like whores.

I have never been to a restaurant where they beg for tips. Strip joints sure , see how they always go to the guy who put 5, 10 and 20's in gstring and not the dollar ones. I think a few here give a $1 and ask for change back

 

[sonnyblack65]

Yeah, I think commission is just like tips or being self. You have to keep your game face on if you want to keep your numbers up when providing à service. Im à general contractor and I feel like actor quite à bit too, and I think my expérience of working for tips has sharpened that skill of just being able to turn the politeness on with customers on que.

Being a GM i work on salary and bonus on bottom line. But yor right in that to be succesfull need to be nice to every because repeat business is so important. They could love the salesman, me etc but then the Service mgr is on the rag and pisses them off and they are gone. We generally bend over backwards even if not covered under warranty because have to think long term. With the internet today, reviews are so crucial. You do something good for someone , they will tell 10 people, do something bad and they tell 100

 

[sonnyblack65]

God damn right I do. And if I didn't do everything I was asked to the best of my ability I wouldn't deserve my job.


This defense of stealing money from your employer by wasting their time is disgusting.

Dude you ok? just a few weeks back you said you wouldnt take a piss test for any job, but having drugs in system isnt stealing from employer?

Massage parlor workere with happy ending? thats a lot

I never said I went to work high, although if I did I would function identically, so it still wouldn't be affecting them in any way. Body chemistry isn't and never will be an employer's business.

 

[sonnyblack65]

I know thats why I put in system and not high. I have been to work hungover so not throwing stones

 

[Caliskinsfan]

For posting the lack of a tip. There is nothing in question about that whatsoever.

I think it was the sister of the waitress that posted it.

How do we know she did? Research, my friend, is your friend.

 

[JDM]

If she gave the receipt to her sister and let her post it, it's the same thing. She deserves to be fired.

 

[SonnyCID]

The GM should be the one doing that. He/she should walk the entire floor and apologize to everyone who was forced to wait an unreasonable amount of time to be seated. That's what a good GM does. Ultimately it's his responsibility to assure excellent service. Servers are an extension of that.

So the problem in this scénario isnt really the server or the customer. Its the manager. Management can inflate or deflate their servers tips depending on their effectiveness. Thats the nature of almost any business. Its not fair, but as the server all you can do is grind it out and provide as good of à service as you possibly can, and maybe do some stuff thats not in your job description.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Bottom line is that Sapp is one of the worst sportscasters ever and he robs millions doing that, so he should ante up, even if the food was 3 hrs late and cold. Fucking hypocrite

Yep. Bad reviews sting. That another thing, with sights like Yelp there is not à lot of room for businesses (especially restaurants) not to want to provide excellent service at all times.
