i did not find service to be horrible with some odd exceptions. they take longer to serve and that gets annoying, but that is a recent thing everywhere because they now take tips for granted. before, tips were not such a big deal and they would put in some effort for it.
tipping is no longer a reward for excellent service, it's a reward for not being a lazy pos and not taking 20 minutes to take or bring an order. that should be expected practice, not one rewarded through tips.
overall i don't see why standard practice should be rewarded or why anyone is allowed to be doing sub par work. or why i need exceptional service to begin with. i just want my order taken and food served. and casually walk around and look for signs if i need something. I would not mind a beeper or an app to call the waiter so that they don't have to pay attention all the time
the only reason i ever remember a restaurant is if the food was delicious. not because a person was fake nice to me.
What the hell?
Because you're paying to be there.
If I don't want service I'll stay home and cook for myself.
"Fake nice" as in, professional?
no, fake nice is just that, acting friendly when i know they are not my friend and they are not happy to see me at all. they just work there.
professional does not mean nice. it means being normal and decent.
Say I am a waiter. I AM happy to see people come into the restaurant because they are the reason I have a job. If no one shows to be served, they don't order food, the business goes under, I don't have a job. It is literally in my best interest then to give people good service. And the better the service I provide, the more likely my own security is assured.
It's been probably 15 years since my last waiting job but at all of my jobs I always gave it my all.
Sounds like many people need an attitude adjustment.
I expect good service everywhere, not just from waiters. I dont tip the bank teller for solving my issue, i dont tip the bus driver for driving me around and so on.
Good service is just regular service. Regular service should not need to be rewarded.
Okay. But when people say tipping is bad, pay your workers more, that is, quite literally, rewarded at minimum mediocre service.
