    Default 2 issues I have with waiters and waitresses

    I know they must work hard. However there are 2 pet peeves I have and they are always in your face but not when you need them.

    1. Interrupt your conversations. You

    I'm not tipping any waiters or waitresses. Your job is to bring food to the table, that's the only shit you have to do. That's what you get paid to do so why the **** do I have to tip you extra for it

    You're lying.

    You have to know a lot of them get less than minimum wage.

    They really dont. If they make less after tips and the 2-3 dollar tipped wage the restaurant has to make up the difference to get them to local minimum wage. The myth otherwise is pushed by servers who themselves dont know that because the business isnt gonna tell them....and it rarely being an issue because of how hard it is to not hit minimum wage when you make 3 dollars an hour plus tips. One tip of 5 dollars would get you past it here.

    Over a few hours with several tables?

    Its hard to not make it...but if you dont....the restaurant has to pay the difference.

    They arent gonna tell you that though. Im sure some dont do it because employees dont know they have to.

    Anyway a system like brazillian steakhouses use would work for OP.

    You get a card or a tower or something. Green side up they come to the table with meats and so on. Red side up they dont bother you.

    I worked in a restaurant and I can tell you that different guests want different things.

    When I eat out, I want to be left alone unless I need something. But some guests expect attentive service particularly if its a fine dining restaurant. Their thinking is, they can get a steak anywhere, they're paying a little more for good service.

    PS - people who dont tip need to stick to places where they hand you your food on a tray.

    My issue with them is what you mentioned but I hate when they ask if you're ready for the bill when you clearly aren't finished. Tore a review up one restaurants ass for this and the owner reached out to me.

    Was halfway through my meal and was ordering drinks and she asked if I'm ready for the check. Bitch no.

    They want to turn the table over so they can make more in tips for the night.

    Then don't go to restaurants where tipping is expected.
