I can't stand bad tippers!
My biggest pet peeve is when they tell you they want an order "to go," and then decide they're going to "dine in." I'm not assuming that you aren't going to tip me but I know you aren't going to tip me. So after you've yelled back at me a couple of times obviously I'm just going to say, "Ok." What other sort of reaction did you expect? Something like this:
"I'm totally sorry sir. I didn't mean to assume that you wouldn't give me tips. It's just normal for people to pay after they're done with their meal."
Even the costumers at Table Three yesterday who didn't know what wonton soup was gave me a three dollar tip. How could you just not know the rules? Btw the people at Table Three where very young. Around 17-18. Even they knew how to tip compared to those two male adults.
So I've told them,
"This is a restaurant, not a fast food place. Next time you guys come and eat, I suggest you pay after and not before. I know you don't want to give me tips but that isn't very nice." In which that idiot responded,
"How do you know that I'm not going to give you tips? I'll give you however much you want. Don't assume that I won't give you tips." And then I say,
"Yes but yesterday a lot of costumers had done exactly what you guys did." Oh trust me, and they created a big mess at the table too!
"But you just can't assume I'm one of those people." All of a sudden he's like, "I don't understand what you're saying. Are you stupid or something?" So I'm like,
"Did you just call me stupid?" So he told me back,
"No I said you're assuming," and he seemed angry. So then I sat down with my Uncle and began talking to him. The costumers left in a rage. They probably won't be coming back.
Good ridance? My mom used to ask people for tips. I'd get embarassed. Now that I'm in the restaurant working too, I know it's ok to ask.
Even if you say:
"So aren't you going to give me tips?" You know how they respond?!
"You charge me tax, I don't give you tips." LIKE FUCK YOU!!!!!! I'm a teenage girl with a lot of anger. Deep inside it's perfectly normal for me to get angry. Well, most costumers think I'm 12. D=<
I feel like making a tip chart and put it in the restaurant.
Besides all that, it's just so maddening wouldn't you say?!
But I've got a question for you other people in thiis field:
How would you have handled the situation?
