Oh, I thought you were poking at me for being tight with tips. I DO tip when I go out, between 15 and 20%. Usually 15%, i just don't get why we're supposed to do 20% now. They say for the cost of living but darned, our meals increased in price so didn't our tip, based on a % of our bill, go up already? I read where one person in an online article suggested 25%, I promise you, I'll stay at home then. :122246
Ever notice too that some people seem to think that they just should get a tip, no matter how badly they treat you? I know what I want out of a waiter. I want them to make sure our drinks are filled, not enter themselves into our conversations and not pester us to death.
Last time I went to Texas Road House I was so flustered I haven't been back for over 6 months. First, our waitress ask us how our food was at least 5 times, then, two managers came by and ask us...then, there had to have been a 'BIRTHDAY CONVENTION' around us. Every two minutes here they came..clap clap clapping. Now, here's the thing. We were eating out with friends who don't live around here now. They were only going to be in town a day and we were wanting to enjoy an evening with them..not reassure neurotic waitresses and managers that their food was ok...and they just walk up and start talking right when you're in the middle of a conservation. That drives us nuts. For now, I'm done with that place!
