Tip your waiters!!!!

[Bob Sacamano]

What do you want me to be, big boy?



I'm a male. I was merely being facetious. HA!

hogwash

Having your niche with old retired ladies is risky, but it's lucrative. They've got nothing else to spend their money on than a 100 style and $100 color, with all the curlers and everything. Old Texas gals and widows fork over a lot of dough to someone who treats them right, sort of like the moral of this thread. If you give* good, genuine service you get paid good money. That's how I see it. I come from a family of business people and so forth, who work on their reputation. So I guess there are a lot of dynamics involved in our capitalist system. It's not hard to see sometimes. Just look around and ordinary businesses are making extra-ordinary amounts of money.

Yet it's not for me and I tend to be more academic oriented, but I'm being serious when I say she makes that much. Not to get off topic. . . .

If only it worked that way; that's why I started this thread in the first place.

Wow this thread turned into gold at around page 20. Mad props for Theo for just setting lewpac up perfectly. If only we could have his face when he realized how much of a FAIL he is.

Justice is best served chilled.

P.S. LOL at Bob always taking the side of the instigator.

Unless you've been in the biz, you'll never understand that bartenders and servers are not "buddies". More often than not, it's a "mongoose vs. snake" thing. Waiters think that the sole intent and life purpose of a bartender is to make sure they get their drinks to make THEIR TIPS. They're wrong. Bartenders are not busboys, hostess's, expediters, mangers, or valet parkers. Bartenders are TIPPED employees as much so, if not moreso than servers. But too many servers think that the only function a bartender is good for is to GET THEM THEIR drink orders so THEY can look good and make a buck.

Also, any bartender who is there to "pick up chicks" will soon be out of a job. Customers at a bar are a "captive audience". They aren't going anywhere. It would be stupid to hit on chicks over a bar, as you'll get a rap and a bad name in short order and be out of a job.

However, the bartender has sort of a "star" quality to it. He's center stage. It's always "showtime" behind a bar if you understand the pulpit you have. You can really put on a show if you want to. So, you don't need to "hit" on girls. It comes naturally, by osmosis if you're being cool, entertaining, and doing your job.

I'm not talking about bar tending at the corner "Jims Bar" here. I'm talking about the "Cocktail" stuff, which is all I did for a decade. Me and a hundred other guys. If you're good at it, and sling some wicked Whiskey with style, you don't have to worry about getting in a girls pants. They just pull them down for you.

Anyway, the bar tender runs the show. Everyone else's evening in the joint revolves around the bar tender. Because everyone is there for a good time, and that usually involves libations. If the bar tender is having an off night, everyone else is going to have an off night.

Wow. I can just see Tom Cruise delivering this very speech in the highly anticipated release of "Cocktail II". It was that awesome.

I went to my favorite sandwich shop for lunch today and I ordered the fries a little crispy and brown.

Who wants fries that are doughy in the middle? Gag a maggot on a gut wagon.

I don't know, I found this thread quite educational. I went to the cafe today and punched my server in the face. This establishes the tone of just who's in charge and let's them know they're going to have to work for my tip.

But don't you dare try that with the bartender. They are omnipotent beings who control everyone's fate. Or so I've heard.

Totally unrelated, but this reminded me of the SNL skit.

lol at hitting the fatty in the face

Anyone who ever waited on Springs is going straight to heaven when they die. It's the least God can do.

You ain't lyin'.

I have first hand experience that Canadians do not tip.

This post is purely in the interests of getting to 400 replies to this thread. It's also directed at trying to prevent any demented bartenders from hijacking the thread to complain about martinis that were shaken rather than stirred, or serving white wine in an "over-chilled" state.

So guys, funny story from the establishment tonight.

A man came in with his family of four and ran up a 50 ticket. It was his now 8 years old daughter's birthday, and at my place that means she gets a free dessert. So we all come out clapping and sing to her and give her the dessert. Long story short this man leaves me a $2 tip. That is less than 5% if you're counting. The funny part of the story comes in when he is checking out and tells the cashier very sincerely that she should "Make sure he gets this tip, he really deserves it". Golden. Made my night.

You should have confronted him and whooped his butt in front of his family.
