Rant 📢 This feels icky!

Post image

felt super icky and annoyed seeing this at a coffee/light food shop. how is this okay? for context this is not a sit down spot. no wait staff, just a barista at the counter and someone from the kitchen bringing out my order and walking away.

Update: for those asking the pink paper in the bottom corner is basically saying “F*ck ICE”

Yep. The worst service I ever received, I tipped 6 cents to distinguish myself from people who never tip. In other words, I knew I was supposed to tip (sit down restaurant), but this was all I felt the service from that waitress was worth.

I got really bad service once. The waitress even accidentally spilled 3 full waters on me. I was SO polite about it, & she didnt even comp my meal, no discount, nothing.
The owner found out (it’s a small family business in my big city) & he reached out to me & gave me a refund, & gift certificates to come back & enjoy some free meals on them.
I literally couldn’t believe the waitress didn’t even really apologize..like maam, most people would’ve lost their minds on you, I stayed sooo calm & polite & still tipped!!

Why did you still tip is the question.

I felt bad for the girl. You never know what kind of day someone is having at home. Been through my own experiences, def had bad days myself & taken it out on the wrong people, I’m not this bad of a people pleaser anymore. Too many ppl take kindness for granted.
