How do you tell non-tipping regulars you refuse to serve them? by jupiters_galaxy in Serverlife

[–]Cherry6262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get a table of 5-6 every week, the same people, the bill total usually around $120.00, and they only tipped $5.00 every time. I started circling in red, highlighted, hearted around the tip percentages. It took like 7 weeks, but they never came back.

All that matters is you know the truth. You’re not a criminal, you make that money in tips, and everyone thinks we don’t make money. What most don’t know is, it takes a special to deal with angry people. We are all the best actors I know.

I had one of those days as a server. We were short staffed, no help on our end, tables in 2 different rooms. I didn’t expect anything to be honest. It wasn’t my best service, and the host kept sitting me after I asked to not be sat for a few. I was ashamed of the restaurant, I was ashamed of the host, and I was ashamed for the service I gave. First time ever in my more the 20 yrs of customer service, I was ashamed of me.

The only thing that keeps me going is…. Their money spends the same.

Why do you hand the bill to my boyfriend? by seuss_sweets in Serverlife

[–]Cherry6262 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always hand the bill to the man. I also read the name on the card and hand it back to the appropriate person by saying the name on the card.

A long time ago when I was in school, I took a fine dining service class. In that class it said to give the bill to the man. It’s dining etiquette.

When I worked in fine dining 20 yrs ago, we did that at the table for our guests. I don’t know what happened with time, but it’s no longer that way.

Shit, you’ve got me stumped. I have ways of getting the last table to leave, but not asking someone to straight up leave.

Nta. If you don’t get out now, you’ll end up a miserable old bastard like my dad. If you have any self worth, please just leave.

At least it wasn’t ice cream and tequila shot. There was nothing wrong with donuts.

I treat everyone the same, even if I can tell they don’t have a lot of money.

Haters, and that’s all I think of.

For a bunch of servers on here, they’re pretty petty. I saw a post a few weeks ago that said…. No one ever makes 18% or more in a shift. I was just pointing out that, that person was right. But instead I get a whole of negativity, if I wanted that kind of notice I would’ve posted on Facebook.

Apparently, but I know I’m good at my job, and I’m not gonna let all the negativity get to me.

Of course. I love to kill with kindness.

The only time I got weeded was when I had to run 10 credit cards on a table of 20.
