discussion Are you more patient with your food servers/waiters/etc

[Jotham]

Yes. I can't stand people who are so impatient and pushy towards servers and waiters. I had a friend in middle school who was like that and I always felt so embarrassed to eat at a restaurant with them.

[bad guy]

I've always been and I haven't ever worked in food service. I was just raised to have courtesy for servers, and that the world doesn't revolve around me. I also kinda think the waiting for food convos are the best. 

[Mr.Link]

Depends, if the waiter is actively trying to be nice and attentive I can be patient. If they just blatantly ignore you for hours and refuse to be polite I will not have it and ask for the bill (with no tip). 

[Bears01]

Absolutely, 1000%. Worked in the food service industry for a year and a half, I understand how it goes.  
 

It’s only justifiable to be upset with them though if you’ve been sitting for like 20-30 minutes and nobody has came up and said a word to you to even get you a water or anything, that’s just straight up unprofessional (it’s happened to me once, and the restaurant was DEAD) 

[Fanta]

Yes I always make sure to be as polite and as patient as I can. I worked in food service for years so I know the struggle & I also know how much BS they deal with from customers daily. I would really hate to add to that BS. 

[kandicha]

I've always been patient with my food servers, but I tip more generously now because of COVID and the toll that it took on restaurants.

[Cyanide]

Yes this is gross, and I find that it’s the broke people with no business eating out that act the worst. You’re more likely to find some random Sheila acting up in TGI Fridays than anyone in an upscale restaurant

Having worked in a restaurant as a barkeeper I can assure you that my colleagues spat in any *******'s food or drinks 

[Robert]

If they gave me something wrong I would politely ask them to change it but I’m patient and understanding and was pre-pandemic too as everyone should. It’s a tough job.

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

Yes, I worked as such myself, and I know how it can be. People getting mad for nothing is the worst.

[EdgeofTeeth]

Always, and especially after being a server myself. And I usually tip 25% because that's literally their livelihood, and the **** that these people have to deal with unwarranted is insane.

[Konril]

Yeah I can wait.

[FOCK]

 

 

[Exquisite]

Yes, I find that if you are respectful to service workers when they **** up they're more likely to resolve the issue in a quick and helpful manner

 

Tipping isn't really a thing where I live
