When you serve tables, you understand that your hourly pay won’t even cover the cost of your gas. You’re gambling and playing the odds, hoping that you’ll really hit it off with some of your customers and they’ll in turn hook you up.
Well, this couple decided to play a little dining experiment with their tip and it’s just about the most savage and arrogant thing you’ve probably witnesses in a restaurant.
Here is the full text in case you can’t read the ridiculousness above:
“So I took the wife out to dinner last night, and we have always talked about doing this. You put 5 singles out on the table at the beginning of dinner for waiter/ waitress to see. (Don’t say anything to them) if they mess up, you take a dollar away, and so on.
At the end of dinner, how ever much is left, is their tip. I shit you not, you will receive the best service of your life.
The waitress Kept looking at it as if she was confused. But she played her cards right, did a great job and received the whole 5 bucks. I did take away a dollar tho bec she forgot the bread, but she bounced back and gave us extra.
Haha all in all a great evening with my love and a good dinner experiment we both wanted to see play out. Try it, you will be surprised!”
Hold on a second. What?!
I understand you want to get the best service possible, but I implore you, think about the food. I have been out of the serving game for a few years now, but I guarantee you, if you try this, your food is getting “special treatment” behind closed doors.
I know we all have different ideas about how to tip, but this is incredibly disrespectful. The secret to good service isn’t waving a tip in someone’s face, it’s being polite, friendly and understanding that sh*t happens sometimes.
Have any of you witnessed savage tipping methods like this? Let me know in the comments.
