So, I understand the food service patrons are not always great. Sometimes, it's the server's fault.
Ryan's
So, we walk in, chick says,"Hey! You got your sandals at Hot Topic!" Why yes, I got them for $2 there. We get seated, she brings drinks.
Boyfriend and I get a plate and wait on our rolls. They never came.
She swooped by us seven times before she refilled Boyfriend's drink. I NEVER got a refill in the hour we were there.
Five plates later, Boyfriend is receiving drink refills from random-lady. Not me, though. Nope.
Three more plates later, I am having dessert and want coffee. None is offered.
Boyfriend asked what is a normal tip for bad service? I swatted his hand for wanting to leave $2. I reminded him how he never got his rolls (main reason he wanted to go) and we never got coffee with our dessert (second main reason, aside from the food).
We left a penny, and left an unhappy service/wonderful food comment card.
(EDIT: I did try to hail her down, asked another server, and nothing came of it.)
Locally Owned Chinese Place
We are seated at 3, the time after the church crowds when the food is usually freshened and the servers rested.
Not so, today.
There was very little on the buffet, so Boyfriend and me grab one plate and sit to wait. 20min. later we hear the waitresses talking about how there's nothing else coming out.
Great.
That tiny old Chinese lady running around wiping down the bar, who normally orders what food to cook? Refuses to acknowledge me. (and most of it was super-greasy somehow..)
The waitress? Busy talking to her other waitress buddies about who they screwed this morning/will later and what flavor Sonic shake they like best.
Drink refills? Had to hail down a random other-worker.
Take our plates? Not a one.
Again, a negative tip occurs. >_<
I really hate doing that, but damn.. do your job!
RANDOM HELPFUL HINT OF THE WEEK:
Sent to my vblog's Facebook, on which I basically tell my customer/freaky life stories with facial expressions and hand gestures.
"dude u need to liten up....... if ur havin a bad day neway u need to kepe it home..... I DONT WANT NO ONE CRAPY SERVISING MY FOOOD NEEDS"
"You really should lighten up, Unholy Pet. You take everything way too seriously."
My reply was generally a," Well, these are culminated over five years of work. I only post the worse ones, or just use a colorful hand motion to express my upsetness. I'm actually quite laidback, I just work so many hours to see these folks! hehe!"
And they return with," Maybe you should get married and have a child? That might calm down your anger issues!"
Wtf..
