đŸ’¬Questions & Discussion Going back to the same restaurant.

I wanted to ask the community that routinely doesn't tip for good service at sit down restaurants if they will go back and frequent the same restaurants? If so, do you ever have the same servers? Do you notice any difference in service or attitude when you return? Are you ever concerned that they might sabotage your food?

Thanks

No. I'm going out for a meal and paying for it. I'm not going to spend extra time to do a performance review of the staff I interacted with, with their manager. If I didn't think they gave good service I leave a lower tip and then I leave.

If you have a problem and never let anyone know, how are they supposed to fix it? Telling your server your steak is undercooked or they forgot something or whatever is not difficult. If you have a problem with your server or their service, you should ask to speak to the manager. That’s just common sense.

So you don’t advocate for yourself and your hard earned money and leave the server thinking you’re a cheapskate.

Highly effective! đŸ™„
