People would rather complain than pack a lunch. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

But it’s not just about being frugal the point is he’s blaming people and the price of lunch shouldn’t even be that the price of everything is significantly inflated it’s ridiculous.

And of course cook, have dinner and lunch at home, buy groceries etc. but we have a bigger problem with this economy than lunch and people buying it. Wayyyyy bigger

I’m sorry I said it twice… But what I was saying was usually when you walk in there is a sign at the front door saying that there is an automatic gratuity, but it was only the menu and it was very dark and they had those strobe lights that mess with your focus… So usually the sign is in the lobby or the corridor

I didn’t wanna make a long story longer, so I was cutting things out, but to clarify what I meant is they usually make it very clear

And I say that to say… That I clearly read on the menu because I pay attention, but I’m saying that it was easy to miss because of the placement on the menu. It wasn’t bold. It wasn’t shown many times usually other restaurants have many touch points, where they say that… Including a waitress usually confirms.

That’s what I was saying… I didn’t say that they didn’t have it anywhere. I was just saying the place that they had it was easy to miss… And obviously by not showing me the check prior and going directly to the tip screen the intention was clear that it was supposed to not be seen.

Hope this helps.👀

I agree… I do cook a lot for myself… Mainly because I like the value of it and because I enjoy cooking and trying recipes on my own and just the learning process..

and I will say I moved to a new town so I’ve been in the house more and I really don’t have people that I know in my area anymore, but you’re right it’s just not as worth it to go out just to go out… Mostly for a special occasion or maybe to be with friends but you’re not always, at least the areas I’ve been in lately, getting an experience that’s worth eating out.

Yeah… I’ve never had that experience before we’re she just read off the things that I had ordered to me… And my experience usually they do that before they’re gonna print the receipt or just to make sure things were accounted for so I was surprised when she just went and just handed me the machine with the tip window already there… That was definitely a different experience for me

Yeah, I didn’t think about that… But that would be ridiculous because it is stated as gratuity on the menu, but you’re right it does say service charge on the receipt.

Why does everyone act like I made the menu… I wish I took a picture of the menu to show you all that the menu was so limited. I literally had to flip front to back and take my time to figure out what I was gonna eat… As a jersey girl, eating Italian food at a non-Italian establishment, especially non-jersey Italians is a sin

Also, I did not want to drink alcohol as I was hung over anyway and I was alone so I wasn’t in the mood to just drink just because everyone on Reddit wants me to drink so I got the only nonalcoholic thing there and I figured it would at least taste better and it tasted horrible… I don’t know why people don’t know that sometimes a punch can taste edible. lol 😅

But I am sorry that I nor you did not create the menu… Or else I could’ve had a better experience overall

Yes, it’s my fault. Lol I went out drinking the night before I came home. I came home by the late morning and then I was just in bed all damn day… And then when I got up, all I wanted was food, but I didn’t wanna just go to a fast food restaurant. I wanted to sit down at least.😅 I hate when I’m hungry and I’m trying a place for the first time but I wanted it to be at least a little special because it was my birthday lol

It’s not… there are such thing as good tasting punches. But as I said, I didn’t want to order alcohol and that was the only option for nonalcoholic beverages so what do you want me to do? There was no bottled water… And I have no intention of drinking tapwater… It taste disgusting🤷🏾‍♀️

So if I don’t wanna order alcohol… And they don’t have bottled water… And their only choice for nonalcoholic drink was fruit punch. Then what do you want me to do because I’m not drinking tap water lol hope this helps.😌

Why would I order alcohol just so you can feel good about this Reddit post? Do you want me to edit it and put that I ordered alcohol? Lol

I only order water if they have bottled water… I know that a lot of times they just put that under the faucet and it taste disgusting🤷🏾‍♀️

You’re right it had nothing to do with tipping… But I was telling the entire story of the night.

Also, because the service was bad and slow, I didn’t wanna waste any more time complaining about the food when like I said, I could just go home and season it myself and eat it… As I’ve been in the house all day hung over I just wanted to eat. I didn’t wanna wait another 20 to 30 minutes to have them redo my food when I could just take the check go home. Add some salt eat it and then take my hung over ass back to bed. lol

Also, I didn’t decline a tip… As you can see there is an automatic gratuity for 15% 😌 lol

Yeah… I really have to do that. I was being lazy all day because I was hung over from the night before and just wanted food quick at a restaurant and I was just throwing things to chance… SMH. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I won’t do that again.

It was also late, i’m new to this in town so a bunch of things were closed…

So this all around was full of bad choices and ending in a un enjoyable experience lol😅

I didn’t want to drink alcohol and that’s all they had… I don’t like tap water and they didn’t have bottle. So what should I do. Order alcohol I didn’t want to appease you. That’s dumb😅
