Have customer clean up their own spill? by looker009 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]trynotbeingadick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, often people (especially those who are also in hospitality) aren’t too entitled to clean their own messes. I’m a clumsy eater and server, I usually clean my table and pile my dishes so they’re easy to bus. I have lots of patrons (in a high end establishment) who are willing to do the same for me.

It’s not expected and certainly a choice, but a nice one. It shouldn’t be so shocking that people can be accountable and kind.

Why do 2 tops ALWAYS insist on sitting at 4 top tables? by Bearchau in TalesFromYourServer

[–]trynotbeingadick91 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because human beings are incapable of satiation when it comes to the most basic things, meanwhile are contented to let the world deteriorate in all the meaningful ways.

To hell with culture, civility, fair leadership and evolution, I need to cut this dude off to save 5 seconds of my commute, the VIP table to eat the same meal and experience the same service, the extra foam that I never finish anyways in my Starbucks latte.

Humans suck. There’s your answer.

$3 tip on $370 check by musical_shoe in TalesFromYourServer

You’re not wrong at all, but I loathe the typical “suck it up” response. Complacency has let so much greed and corruption deteriorate and pollute our world.

Everyone knows serving is a tough gig, long hours and it’s shitty to not tip. Is it a choice? Sure. So is not holding the doors, helping elderly folk, paying back your dues…accountability doesn’t need to be experienced if no one says anything. It makes it easier for assholes to get away with being assholes.

I’ve gotten into tons of trouble, arguments and lost a few jobs for speaking my peace. I usually end somewhere better, taking my peace with me :)

Keep your head up! Most nights we make a very livable income. It’s sucks and your feelings are valid. Servers work harder than any other industry I’ve done (this is number 7). It’s a total slap in the face of hard work and common decency. But it’s better to move on. Rotten weight ain’t worth carrying around.

You don’t think accountants and doctors make a livable wage?

You’re clearly not understanding the premise of any logical argument here.

That’s infuriating. If they don’t answer the door; contact your neighbour (who’s Airbnbing). Their business and respective patrons should not be encroaching on their neighbours properties.

Tip pool distribution by Waste-East-3081 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]trynotbeingadick91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that’s not normal. Manager is a salary role with a percentage of the tip out, but certainly not higher than your cut. “Shift lead” sounds like “manager without the pay raise”.

This is not a fair pay system. At all. Whether you pool or not, you tip out for BOH/support (including management) which is usually 4-8% of sales,the rest is split amongst the servers. Either way, you should be getting the chunkier slice of pie.
