First time I ever used a coupon at a restaurant

[Kettle]

last time i went Jack, i threw a couple dollars on the table. i think it was about 10%. they really are doing anything server like, and I expect they make more than a server wage.

I only leave a couple bucks at the buffet places.

[Panthro]

$1 per person.

Sorry but giving me the stink eye when I ask for duck sauce won't endear me to you. GIVE ME MY DUCK SAUCE!

Don't do buffets. Problem solved.

Man the servers at Capital Grille are the best. They give you their card and you can request them when you come back. and they all know the wine list and have tried all the wines. It's so damn expensive though.

Anyway i agree mostly its not the servers fault. But some people just aren't cut out for it.

Thanks. I am much more happier without kids. I love my sleep at night, no being fat for 9months, not being able to drink on the weekends I'd miss for 9months, money I'd rather spend on us on a vacation or a bigger tv, etc.

I was the same way until I grew up a little and I don't have a single regret, the only thing I miss is alone time with my wife, but with local in-laws it's not that bad.

There is nothing you could trade me to give back one moment of time with my son, not the three months of daily trips to the NICU, not the night we had to so CPR or anything. I'm young and have only been a parent for just short of two years, but it's hard to imagine that life gets any better than this.

I would trade all the sleep, cars, money, alcohol, and vacations if it meant that nothing bad would ever happen to my daughter and that she lived a long and healthy life.

Ya umm I've been to vegas about 15 times and have eaten at many of their restaurants. Just saying that their buffets are the best.

So glad you know so much about the service industry. How about you go get a job at Applebee's and Ill come sit in your section tonight, treat you like the way you just spoke of treating your servers and blame everything on you then give you a horrible tip.

I'm sure you would be just as knowledgeable then as you are now.

I didn't treat any servers horrible and I didn't ever blame nor am I blaming EVERYTHING on them. I am saying that MOST things the server can notice *BEFORE* the BRING YOU the problem. It is the GOD'S TRUTH and you know it!!

I am so nice that even times when they don't say they are sorry for a mistake such as when at times they remember all on their own at the table such as "I'll bring you your ranch" and they don't say they are sorry, but I STILL say "THANK YOU", then they still don't apologize, how about that one for ya? You see, that means those times even I couldn't even say what was wrong, they already knew when they got to the table.

At times when they didn't remember, I am mostly all the time nice as pie about a mistake and say thank you when they bring the item back. There have been a few times I lost my cool, but that was because if there were many mistakes that were obvious on the plate, I can tell they didn't try their best or give a care, so that would piss me off that it wasn't really a mistake, but a lack of effort and caring.

I actually know more than most servers do, HONESTLY, I can't tell you the number of times I knew the menu BETTER than they did. That's just for starters. See, when you have it happen to you PERSONALLY, you would do EVERYTHING in your power to try not to that to someone else, of course that's if you are a caring and non-lazy person of course as I am not lazy and I am very caring.

Someone registered just to show how big a douche they are to their servers??

hahaha

NO, I posted to prove the people that have less experience than me as a customer that I know more than they do.
