I was a waitress/bartender for many years, so I tend to be more generous & forgiving than most.
Most people do not realize what goes on behind the scenes.
If you think your service is slow, it is more than likely because the place is short staffed & the waiter/waitress is handling double/triple the amount of tables they normally do.
Issue's with food? The waitress probably turned down the cooks advances, and now the cook is fucking up the food to piss her off.
Take a while to get your drinks? The bar is probably backed up, and most places only allow 'certified' bartenders to make them.
Messy floor? That table that just left had 4 kids who decided a food fight was in order & the waitress hasn't had a chance to clean it inbetween waiting on tables and other side work.
Waitresses rely on tips to feed their families, pay for life expenses such as school, housing etc. Their base pay is $2.15 to 2.25 an hour.
How many demanding customers would you be able to deal with before your smile starts to fade?
