- OldGrandma, on 07/15/2008, -1/+20What about a top ten list for customers?
1. don't be a dick to me.
2. If I don't want wine the first time, don't ask again.
3.-10. Make me feel comfortable giving you 20%. - drewdown112, on 07/15/2008, -1/+6Oh snap... You Got Served!
/returns to 2004 - Hosalabad, on 07/15/2008, -6/+12Dear servers, cry me a ***** river. Go get a degree and a real job.
- yayintertubes, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5All of them? Then who would serve us?
- alapoet, on 07/16/2008, -3/+2Mc-goddamn-Donald's. Drive through. Automated.
- aliengoods, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Did it ever occur to you that people may work jobs....like being a server...while in college? Not all of us had a silver spoon stuck up our ass you prick.
- terajoule, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1I say we create a race of super intelligent cyborgs to serve us... Make sure they have lasers and... oh wait.
- InfamousAtheist, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2I worked as a server (bartender & waiter) throughout college. I had a good time and made decent money for a college kid.
I also learned that the world is full of giant assholes who don't appreciate decent service. I'm guessing you fit that description.
- yayintertubes, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5All of them? Then who would serve us?
- lildokes, on 07/15/2008, -2/+10you putting up with my ***** is WHY i give you 20%
you don't? you get less
you do it with a ***** eating grin on your face (or you're hot)...i give more - dave122, on 07/15/2008, -1/+8If I had a server that was this big of a douche I would tip him $.05 just so he was sure I didn't forget.
I also don't buy this ***** about feeling obligated to tip. If you are a good server (not annoying, keep my drink full, don't leave my debit card sitting there for half an hour, etc...) you will get 20-25%. If you not a good server, im not giving you *****; cry me a river - I have to work for my paycheck I don't see why servers are an exception to this rule. - JonathanMead, on 07/15/2008, -0/+16I thought you were talking about your web server. I pissed mine off when I hit the fp of digg, then my server went down and it got buried. =(
- Bilabrin, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1'Server' is the new PC term for 'waiter'. You know like 'escort' or 'waste management consultant'.
- versualize, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Seconded on thought it was a web server. Took me a second to figure it out.
- WillBraden, on 07/15/2008, -2/+8all of you idiots commenting that servers should get real jobs, and acting like general pricks about tipping and whatnot, guess what? you're the ones getting your soup spit in. enjoy it!
- alapoet, on 07/16/2008, -4/+1No. Because I don't go to these hoity-toity pretentious ass places you hang out.
- WillBraden, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3so you're saying that because you don't go to nice restaurants (which I don't either) then people won't spit in your soup?
did you think that made sense before you wrote it? or was something lost in translation?
- WillBraden, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3so you're saying that because you don't go to nice restaurants (which I don't either) then people won't spit in your soup?
- InfamousAtheist, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Alapoet, if you think only high-end servers/cooks/etc. spit in food, then you need to see the movie Waiting.
I guarantee you've swallowed someone else's loogie.
- alapoet, on 07/16/2008, -4/+1No. Because I don't go to these hoity-toity pretentious ass places you hang out.
- BOFH2, on 07/15/2008, -1/+7eat all your food? what is it to you if want to save some for later?
- BOFH2, on 07/15/2008, -3/+1If I
- JoeyDigital, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5willbraden is mad....
- roseyone17, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7this is a great list...and definitely true after youve actually have been a server like me
- Cheese6034, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6All the people commenting that servers should get real jobs would be upset if there were no servers and they had to serve themselves from behind plastic sneeze guards Sizzler style.
- casspa, on 07/16/2008, -2/+2By not tipping enough?...because people in the service industry annoyingly inflate the tipping standards
- InfamousAtheist, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Inflation is not caused by servers. Tipping standards reflect the state of the economy.
- casspa, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Then why do servers and bartenders insist on tipping 40% when they go out for drinks? the economy does not dictate how these people in the service industry look at you when they perceive that you didn't tip them enough.
- chetanthaker, on 07/16/2008, -2/+5F5 F5 F5 F5...
oh wait... wrong article... - Spyder2k, on 07/16/2008, -4/+2Installing Linux
...buried to hell - CozmoNz, on 07/16/2008, -4/+0I initially thought I would agree with this... (I used to be a glassie in a huge nightclub)... but no... I more or less cant understand it... other than the fact that they are sooky fussy bastards who want more for doing ***** all work anyway.
Get some quals, get a real job, then your welcome to complain once you get more than 50k a year jackass. - aliengoods, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3I don't get #5. You pay with 8 different debit cards.
I have some friends, but more than a few are cheap. And when it's their turn they'll never show up. Also, if you want a good tip you'll separate the bills, because the same people that wouldn't show up will take part of my 20% tip and apply it to their bill. It's really not hard to separate a check, especially when everything is in the register's computer with the touch screen interface.- InfamousAtheist, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2It's not the difficulty, it's the time required to split them all up, even using touchscreen POS systems.
When a server's really busy (in the weeds), taking time to do that impacts service to the other customers.
I'm not saying that a server shouldn't split up a bill for you... I'm just explaining their logic.
- InfamousAtheist, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2It's not the difficulty, it's the time required to split them all up, even using touchscreen POS systems.
- TheDeepFriar, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5did anyone else think of computers when they saw the title?
*NO! WHAT HAS DIGG DONE TO ME?!?!?* - layzice, on 07/30/2008, -0/+1All I can say is, you come off as the type of server that would get his dime tip super glued to the table. Or placed in a glass full of ice water upside down on a stack of napkins for you try and finesse off without dumping.
What part of the title "server" do you not get?
