op here, I forgot to ask, do you tip? personally I don't feel it's necessary.

that is hilarious and fucked up.

Op, not being a rude customer myself, it bothers me less. Nonetheless, it's a well know, or at least widely accepted, fact that this shit happens. Food service workers have their fair share of assholes too. You work in an industry were people are likely trying to unwind, so you should expect a few dickheads.

I start w/ a 20% tip and based on service and general attitude/friendliness, it can go up or down.

What kind of interactions are you having with customers where you can gauge if they are jerks or not?

It makes me feel like you are reposting shit from reddit that is 4 months old fuckface. It was determined that the cashier was also the one ordering so shit is made up yo. Fuck off.

>I mad that I probably get spit in my food because I'm a douchebag

>>3016829
They order anything that isn't straight from the menu with no alterations = they're massive jerkfaces who can enjoy their spit

Do the servers/whomever clears the table apprciate when you pick up straw wrappers and napkins and put them on the plates and stack any empty plates before you leave? I've always felt like it helps them out, but does it really?

>>3016853
Once one of them swore at me for terking his jerb when I did that.

Never did it again.

>>3016858

Unless I'm clearing the table and bringing the dishes back for them, I don't see why they would bitch about that.

They'd probably bitch if you left the table a mess, too. Some people are never happy.

>>3016853
It's poor etiquette to interfere with the plate and discards once a worker reaches for it. You run the risk of knocking something out of their hands or tipping over a drink when two people reach for something at the same time.

Do put a buck or two on the table when you see someone helping clear in a restaurant that doesn't typically have that full time.

>>3016853

Yea, I always did. I usually tried to prebus the table so there was as little shit left on it as possible, to make my job easier. But if I was weeded I didn't always have time.

>>3016867

Didn't say anything about fussing with plates and stuff once it's been reached for. That's obviously rude. But if I'm waiting around for the check and I have a napkin on the table, I'll put it on the plate, pick up straw wrappers, etc.

But I have had servers go ahead and take plates before asking if I'm all set. Then I don't care if I knock shit over.

20% is fucking retarded

I start at 18%... take it or fucking leave it.

Honestly, though, how do you get away with spitting in food? Isn't it pretty visible?

i try to be nice to waiters no matter what, even if their service sucks, so i don't worry about that sort of thing, op. but don't expect a tip if you're an asshole

I never complain. Even the one time I got the fish instead of the steak I ordered. Didn't say a word and I fucking hate fish.

>>3016879

I do this as well and am suddenly curious what the staff would think of such an act. I pick up my area out of habit/boredom, stack plates, pick up silverware, pick up trash etc etc.

When I waited tables I never fucked with anyones food, as much as I wanted to. Just couldn't bring myself to do it. I never saw anyone else fuck with anyones food either. I waited tables for 2.5 years at a few different places.

Not saying that it doesn't happen, just saying its unlikely if you are not an uberdouche.

>recently went to a chain restaurant with work friends

>mfw.jpg

You don't HAVE to tip anyone, bitch.

Someone who spits in food and puts shit in it is insane, no question. There's a reason you're working in a bottom rung job and it's not because of The Man.

Such poor work ethics.

Imagine the world if everyone was a petty as the guy in the picture.

What happens if the person happens to be a vegetarian and there is little in terms of meatless dishes on your menu? Would you get angry if they ordered lets say, a pasta dish, off the menu excluding meat?

>>3016919
Fuck off. Nobody respects vegetarians. You are the shit stain of human exixstence.

>>3016924

I'm a vegetarian, but it's not by choice. My mom was a vegetarian and thus resulted in me being vegetarian too, from birth. I physically cannot digest meat. It fucks up my intestines. Now am I the shit stain of human existance? -_-"

>>3016934
> I physically cannot digest meat

I suppose you're also gluten free?

guess what, you can digest meat. the reason you got heartburn after you ate a "crave case" from white castle is because you ate an entire goddamm box of cheeseburgers from white castle.

>>3016934
Yup. Just like your mother.

>>3016936

Lol, no. I ate a seasoned, baked chicken breast and shit blood for the next month. I'm not gluten free. I just can't digest it. I've tried gradually introducing it and it didn't work. I was in and out of the hospital, they finally told me that my body was pretty much useless when digesting meat and I should avoid it. I'm not American, we don't have White Castle or whatever the fuck your gross, nasty-ass grease chains are. I forgot to mention that I'm /fit/, so it's not my greasy diet that's fuelling my bodies incapability either.

>waah people are different than me and my tiny baby brain cannot process it!
Don't worry so much, go drown your anxiety in some cut up hotdogs and mac'n'cheese.
