If you prejudge these people and offer poor service to these types consistently, then you are participating in a self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe those type of people are tipping you poorly because they consistently receive poor service all of the time. |

Ebola, I would venture to say that as the weath increases, so does the rudeness. And that, if a person has trouble with the rudeness displayed at a "middle-class" resturaunt, they would be quite disturbed at the way they were treated while waiting on tables in an expensive "upper-class" resturaunt.
In fact, the average working Joe looks at a waiter/waitress as someone just like himself trying to beat out a living for the family. The upper class type are much more likely to view the same waiter/waitress as nothing more than a servant that should cater to their every need. |

KCChiefsman - Once you have made enough customers "reluctant to come back", you can then amuse yourself by looking for another job.

In general, I'd have to say that if anyone hates the people they work with on a daily basis, then they should find another job. As a contractor, I get to choose my customers, and I take on projects in which I feel I can offer the best service. When a project goes sour, you have to just grin and bear it though and work your way through it. Keeping every customer happy keeps the referrals coming your way! |

KCChiefsMan....
In reading your diatribe about who you do and don't give good service to, one thing came to mind.
Do you think that you don't get good tips because of your biases? You evidently don't live in the Eastern part of the US because if you excluded all of the people you named, there wouldn't be a table left for you to service.... So you basically won't service: 2) if the person is wearing ANYTHING with the confederate flag on it - I wouldn't blame you there 3) if the person is wearing ANYTHING with Nascar on it- That could exclude some very influential people...including people like Joe Gibbs, former NFL Coach, and various other high profile people who are sponsors of NASCAR racing Teams 4) if the person has a mullet- I've seen just as many waiters and waitresses with mullets as customers 6) if they are missing teeth (unless they are really polite) This could include anyone from the NHL, IHL, or even some NFL players along with persons who have had recent dental surgery 8) if they are wearing dirty t-shirts- i assume you work in an upper-class restaurant 10) if I just get the "I'm not getting a tip from this table vibe"- The only time you should get this is when you have provided poor service. You give good service at my table, you get a good tip. If you become scarce at my table, your tip is too mmaddog *********** |

I can't believe Paul's attitude. I don't fit into any of those "criteria", but I find it shocking that you would be so petty. Methinks you should prolly find a different line of work. Some of the most wealthy people aren't materialistic and walk around in jeans and a t-shirt all day....
I think it's important to compliment great service at least 5x for every complaint and I go out of my way to do so (if earned). |

Sam Walton is one example. And I'm not talking about John Boy's little borhter either. The guy went around in overalls or blue jeans about everywhere he went. Drove an old pickup too. All the while, he built the strongest retail chain of discount stores in the nation. Actually, on the toothless bit, if a person were to try some of the "poorer" tactics of bad service to some of the redneck hillbillies that do tend to pass through, one might find himself short a few. You think bubba is just going to be content sending a burger back after he bit into a big ol' juicy haaaacker? |

Good night...
Why didn't you just accept you said customers are stupid and say that wasn't what you meant to say? You can't erase it..it's there in my posts....why act like you didn't say it? Acceptance and admitting you are wrong are the first steps to recovery. mmaddog ************ |

Of course, what kcchiefsman is talking about is pre-judging.
I spent much time in my earlier years waiting tables and tending bar. Pre-judging is a bad habit. You never know who is a tipper. And they all deserve the same service. The good tippers balance out the deadbeats. Treat everyone the same. More importantly, have fun with your job. It's an occupation that allows you to be yourself. You'll enjoy the work more and find yourself putting more money in your pocket. I promise. |
