It's very strange when you ask strangers what are they doing tonight? What college they went into? When you do business focus on business and talk about business not to ask them about their personal lives and talk about it for 10min. Excellent customer service is when you can provide them what they really needed like the sauce that they wanted for example and not to ask them so many personal questions. Give your customers privacy.

@rodorayyy I get it you want to be left alone. Waiters who get big tips know it isn't about getting things people ask for but being memorable.

[rodorayyy]

Actually your teachings are wrong! customers does not want to be interviewed by the waiter. it's very irritating that you would be asking all of these personal questions when in fact, I just like to eat.This has been my personal experience. I hate waiters that talk too much.

[BobPhibbs]

@rodorayyy experience by successful servers proves otherwise.

I want to believe you. I do. But, sometimes it truly feels as though whether you go out of your way or not, people are going to tip what they are going to tip. Now, you can screw up and get less of a tip, don't get me wrong. But, you can show them how they can "save money" by doing it "this way" or anticipating their needs by when they ask for bread (since you knew they would) you already have it on the tray. But when they leave $5 on $60, it makes you go, REALLY? What could I have done better?

[BobPhibbs]

@0Blink0 you have to always ask that, what could have I done better. I think many people are willing to tip minimally unless you stand out.

[Mednicoff]

Yeah...try all of that on a Friday night, when the wait is 2 1/2 hours, and you've got 15+ people asking for shit, at the same time....

Wanna make big tips, get what they need, and smile the whole time. Period.

Great ideas, I can't wait to use them on my next shift.

@clerickolter How do you know who gets paid what? Servers remember people who don't tip and wether you know it or not something dreadfully disgusting has happened to your meal. I wonder how many servers ball sweat you have ingested?

[digmatology]

Amen!

[atanzavalentine]

@clerickolter Please go die in a fire. Only trashy people don't tip. Continue not tipping = expect spit in your food from now on (I'm sure you've already had that happen).

well number one is out of the question for me bc we don't have specials of the day ever
