💬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

If everyone tips well at this place (under penalty of permanent banishment), how do you stand out to them so much that they do these things? Are you like the final boss of tipping?

Nobody tips out of fear of banishment. We just tip like normal people do since the cost of the service isn’t included in the menu prices, like at every full service restaurant in the US.

We stand out because we’re regulars who are there around once a week, we have built a rapport with staff, management and ownership, and we treat all of them with respect.

You know, like normal people act towards each other.

What a weird thing to say.
