I haven't been a server for years, but serving at Disney is the same as serving at any place on I-drive or any other tourist trap in orlando. Many people don't tip at all, due to cultural differences and general cheapness. I can't count the times I have overheard people say thay they already paid x amount for this or that and are not paying anymore. They pick apart the service and food after the bill has arrived. I can't tell you how many people send back drinks after thay have drunk more than half because "there is no alcohol." I have been told people would prefer to wait for a prettier server, or a server of their own race or a different gender. I have had people steal tabs off of other tables, some places even make servers pay for that out of their own pocket. Should I pay for your buffet too? My personal favorite, after waiting on a table that stayed for ages, on their slip they wrote...here is your tip...don't eat beans next to an open flame. I have had people swear at me, throw things etc. The change thing was very common when i worked there, con artists would try to get too much change and steal from you. I have had people take the partially eaten food and drinks after other people have left and bring them to their table, do you think they left a big tip? The list goes on and on. If you don't think there is bad behavior, thieves and cheap people at Disney, read the other boards. If you observe a complete jerk somewhere, know that he is eating three meals a day somewhere. I also do think about the server, I know plenty of servers who have emergencies and things happen to them. They don't want to lose their job so they work, sometimes I do get bad service. I get it rectified immediately, I speak up or ask for a new server that is not too busy.
Nice going everyone!
