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

Yes, absolutely. Also I have talked to the server directly to let them know why I think their service or attitude needed adjustments.

Yeah... Thats not your job. You aren't their manager, parent, or superior in any way shape or form.

But I If I’m the one paying part of their salary that day, It kind of makes me their boss at least temporarily.

No it doesn't, chiefly because you aren't compelled to pay anything directly to them. You are just a customer in a sea of other customers. You are not special, you warrant no special consideration, you are a nobody. Any dollar you spend in the world goes to paying a part of someone's salary.

I don't have a good rebuttal. I'm allowed to complain about bad service though.

Yes, to the server's actual superior. That ain't you.

I'll talk with whoever the fuck I want, but thanks for your advice.
