If you want to know what a man’s like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

I dunno how people aren't intrinsically nice to the people that handle their food.
drew454u
I'm nicer to my waitress than i am most other people, don't mess with people that handle your food.
JasonDoodle
oh yeah had a friend like that...had.

I live by 1 rule as a waiter, if the guest is being rude then kill them with kindness. If that doesn't work then kill them with a chair.

Rule of thumb: If they treat the server poorly, that's how they'll treat you in a few months.
XAMANDER
People that love their family and friends but are cruel, cold hearted bastars to everyone else are not good people.
PeterTried
But not too nice to the waitress, please. Don’t compliment her on her boobies and don’t ask for her number. That’s just plain awkward.
KWJester49
complimenting someone isn't nice, maybe something a "nice" guy does though
stronomer
And they will eventually show the same attitide towards you.
Woestkonijn
Define nice.

Im mad at the cook not the waitress for cooking my steak wrong.
abbadonsin
Nice people are over rated, sure, don't be an asshole, but if all you can say about someone is "they're nice", run.
dankmemeduck
Amen. Realizing this sooner would have saved me a short terrible marriage.. To a not nice person
giarcnoskcaj
Noticing their general disposition towards others can go a long way in figuring out who you're sitting next to.
JustSomeGuyNamedScott
My waitress was an ex girlfriend who beat me relentlessly. Should I still be nice to her?
TheS4ndm4n
You're already an asshole if you bring a date to the restaurant your ex works at...
If you're tracking where your ex girlfriend works at, you've got bigger problems...

Tip your waiters and waitresses!

Pay them a living wage so I don't feel like I have to give them a handout for doing their job.

FrostyOblivion
What?
Compound515
Each individual does... If you don't feel the service was good then you don't tip
Exactly shit service equals no tip.
cTraNik
I get a power trip from going out to eat, being waited on is a privilege to me and I tip graciously, usually close to %50
benadrylcandysnatch
please come to my restaurant
Whatcha got?
Pizza!
Where at??

My mom snaps her fingers at waiters and I get mad at her every time. Often I’ll apologize when she’s in the bathroom.
NickKimCage
Jesus she must hate waiters if she turns them into dust.
lapisknight
I snapped my fingers at a clerk once when I was a 15 year old shit. I never forgot the astonished fury on his face. Never did it again.
ExplodingRobotColon
Is your mom spanish?
Bluegrasslass
Confront her next time and tell her how rude she's being.
Xedi22
I would have to check the bill of my boss and make up the rest of a shitty tip if it was a place where I was a regular. And he wondered...
...why when we walked in they brought me my drink before we’d even sat down and asked if I was getting the usual. Was a weird concept f him.
nanabroccolifart
My mom too wtf?
Lebiram
It always riles me up when this happens. We are servers, not servants... so im certain you apologizing helps the person feel a little better
juijksilver1991
I say that all the time!! I’m a server not a servant! This!!
It was my catchphrase during my times as a server lol
endersjeesh
Apologise for her in front of her

"I'm sorry my mother doesn't know how to treat fellow human beings with respect and decency."
I had a friend who used to get rude with waiters until I started making comments, "Sorry, he just wants to belittle you to feel important"
He stopped doing it when we went out together. Friendship didn't last long anyway though, someone like that is hard to be around
vonkeswick
It's a shame too how often people like that cont really change or become better people
disemboweled
So, you were passive-aggressive instead of just talking to your friend about being rude to waiters? I bet you're hard to be around, too.
No I talked to him about it directly first, dipshit. Since that didn't work, I tried something else. Pay attention
redbaronshotsauce
Wow. Temper much?
MisanthropicAnthropoid
What if the waitress is a cunt?
NegentropyX
Expecting a standard of service is not the same as disrespecting the server. I think we know the difference. Basically, don’t be a twat.
Important guideline: never, ever send your food back because you are unhappy with something. Unless you like eating phlegm. Just pay and go.
feanoreldar
Can confirm, was waiter saw this happen more than once
snakeoilsalesman
Be nice anyway or we poison your drink with detergent.
MrNightfish
Yea, I once had a waiter insult me because he did not like my order. Like, wtf. You bring the food/drinks, not critique the order.
BigIrv5151
You need to spend a few weeks waiting tables. Then come back and let us know how you feel.
As a waitress/bartender I am aware that I can be a cunt... but if youre an active cunt to me prepare to be ignored. I will talk to your date
McDawgMillz
And that’s why you’re terrible at your job.
So in this situation, you're a cunt first, I respond by being a cunt back, and now you ignore me?
epoke
Be a good customer to get good customer service.
Herecomesjohnny
oh if only life worked that way. Jerks are not always jerks to just jerks.
Currently working in customer service, can both confirm and reject this notion. It takes 2 to tango.
Don’t dance while eating though. Just like you shouldn’t swim after eating.

Probably best to apologize to your date because the service there isnt usually so shitty and just not leave a tip.

That's what I do. Shit service, shit tip.
misterfish
People forget to leave tips. If you want to send a message, leave 1%
Good point. Or like a cent or something
kilboa
I feel like this is a cumulitive test. If you think every waitress is a cunt... Chances are, you're the cunt.
I'm guessing the words "the waitress" mean the same thing as "every waitress" in your mind.
Why would you assume that. I think I laid out my thoughts clearly. If it's 1, then his comment is probably valid, over time though......

Gatzarlok
The service industry sucks, and everyone has off days. The problem is consistent horrible behavior.
JMaxGarage
Yep. Just don’t tip or actually tell the waiter how u feel AFTER your meal, never during or before and tell them why you are not tipping
So be nice but minimize your tip?
Tip for the service you got. If the service was bad, don't tip well, if the service was good tip well.
Why should the staff foot the bill of bad management?
HairyPicklePuller
I tip the same regardless more often than not. I assume the server is having a bad day and could use a break.
Solbion
Your optimism is refreshing. +1
vikingvampireangel
Yee. There's still a minimum of acceptable service behavior. If you can't meet that you need to go home. Granted I worked retail not food.
tehmatser
How you gonna just go home on a bad day? Can you do that in retail?
You can call in. And if you can't then you're just gonna have to bite the bullet and smile through your teeth.
Just cuz I had a bad day doesn't mean I get to shit all over yours too
