- "Can adults order off the kids menu?" (Jen)
- When a group of women comes in with balloons, presents, etc. first thing
before lunch hour hits, then takes up the table throughout the entire lunch and
leaves mountains of wrapping paper behind (wedding shower, etc.) (Kristi)
- Parents ask if they can put their kids at a separate table. (Tyler)
- When the guest will need a "wheelbarrow" with the bill. (Rebecca)
- Atkins diet!!!!! (jdcanadian)
- When party of 2 pulls out the calculator to figure out what is "their
damage" as some refer to the money they owe for a meal along with the tip.
(Anita)
- When a table asks to see the lunch menu at 6pm (KS)
- When your customer asks if he/she can keep your pen when you give them their
credit card slip. (Dan A.)
- When the guest calls you to the table and shows you a perfectly UN-fried bug
on an ALL-fried dish. (Dan Wa.)
- When the mother is breast feeding at the table and doesn't even bother to
cover it with a blanket. (Lindsay)
- When the person orders black coffee and ask for a discount because they
didn't use cream or sugar. (Adam)
- When you ask a party, "How are you doing?"; and they respond, "Coffee!"
(Adam)
- When you can smell the old spice wafting from the table at a distance of 10
feet. (Julianna)
- When husband and wife aren't smiling or speaking...(Sheryl M.)
- When people insist on using your first name all the time I know I am going
to get a bad tip. Example: Susie, would you recommend the steak? Susie would you
bring us another coke...etc. They think they are being nice, but I find
strangers that over-use my first name annoying...its like they are talking down
to you. Then again, I don't mind it at all when regulars use my first name,
after all you have a history with them!
- We serve 32oz Sodas. When guests ask to share this, I know I am going to get
a bad tip. I always make sure that those guests do get charged for refills. I
explain FREE refills are only meant when one guest drinks the Soda. You also
know you are going to get a bad tip if the guest complains to you the whole time
about the bad service they got the last time they came in. What they are telling
you is that you will never match their idea of what good service is no matter
how hard you try, but they want you to give it your all...then they tip lousy
and will complain about you the next time the come in.
- Happy hour--half price appetizers and half price bar drinks. People sit for
2 hours and leave 2 dollars on their 12 dollar check.
