Actually what this means is that I am going to do everything in my power to base my tip on the service I receive regardless of the day I've had... and that I fully intend to base your tip upon the service that I receive regardless of the day you have...
If my food isn't cooked correctly and you're friendly about fixing it - that isn't your problem and wont show up in your tip.
If the kitchen is slow and you stop by to let me know what's going on, that wont reflect on you at all.
But if you have too many tables, and that reflects the service you give me, the that will affect your tip. The good news is the fact that you're over busy will hopefully reflect in extra tips even if they are slightly lower in amount.
In short as I said, the day I have has nothing to do with what you should be tipped. On the other hand your performance regardless of your work load, is your problem and how you handle it will reflect in your tip.
My question was if my bad day doesn't mean I can give you a bad tip, should your bad day also mean I can't give you a bad tip? Why is it my bad day shouldn't be factored in to giving you a lower tip, but your bad day should be factored in to whether I give you a lower tip? Seems like a double standard to me.
so does this mean that if you are having a bad day and you don't like anything or anyone, you will take it out on your server? does that make you extra critical of my service?
im not saying that table problems are not 100% the servers fault. but if your food isn't cooked the way that you like it how is that my fault? i serve the food. i can't cook it for you too. if the kitchen is slow. how is that my fault? just because the restaurant doesn't LOOK busy to you doens't mean the kitchen isn't hustling and bustling back there.
don't forget that im just human and i have days where NOTHING is going my way too.
