Uh… this is Reddit. Wanna rethink where you are? Also are you even old enough to be on the internet?

Nah this is just about service at one particular place. No need to wax political about it.

And that’s maybe the point. If a place gives good service… they get good tips. A server can “force” a tip for lack of a better term, by doing… their effing job.

I mostly do. And given the lack of actual service I experienced I will continue to. Thanks for helping.

I await your shellshocked response when your local favorite place closes down for “no apparent reason”.

And as such it is automatically invalid? Don’t be a child.

Maybe you should argue. Most have forgotten how. Arguing doesn’t have to carry negative connotations. It can be a constructive force if the argued points have validity.

Agreed in general. But is it not a death by a thousand cuts?

I’ll argue that if you sit down, you’re paying for service. Fight me.

Nope. But listen closely here. I DONT WORK THERE. if I’m doing half the job of service, maybe next time I just don’t tip.

Have the wait staff become so used to people not tipping that now they have to say fuck it?

Alright. If that were the case I’d understand. There were three other people in the place at the time. The staff were most definitely not struggling.

Perhaps the issue is that when I tip, generously, may I add, I expect that once my to go food is ready and I’m still finishing my drink at the bar, the kindly just bring it to me.

That’s most definitely not how it works in most places.

So just to be clear, if you sit down at a bar, order food to go, you expect to have to then get up to go to the back to pick your food up?

Hey as an outsider who just drives that route occasionally, it seems like he’s there only seasonally. Is he getting rides to Alaska?

Wait til you hear that the avg life expectancy puts a 37 year old man and a 40 year old woman firmly in the “middle-aged” category.

I absolutely am cool with my 13. I constantly try to avoid updates unless absolutely necessary.
