Just wondering what others do when they get poor service at a restaurant. I always feel bad if the place is busy so I don't give the server a hard time and still leave a tip. I also don't bother saying much because sometimes there is no point.
Bad service will never change if you do not make them aware there was a problem.I also don't bother saying much because sometimes there is no point.
We have sought out the manager at some places (restaurants or stores) and told them what a good job someone was doing. I agree that managers don't often get to hear the good things....you are not doing anyone any a service by not talking to the manager. A good manager wants to keep abreast of everything going on in his/her place.
On the other hand, please also advise the manager if a server gives you outstanding service. Managers very seldom hear compliments on their people.
In this situation though Corey, how do you know they have done nothing to stop the problem? How do you know that they are not currently fighting with the pump maker to get a new pump or whatever or yelling at their supplier because they were sold bad beer?One particular pizza place that I went to, as of late, has been having a constant problem with the draft beer. Either it has spoiled, ran out, or the pump just doesn't work!!
There is just no excuse for the constant aggravating problems and poor service that a restaurant keeps on having and does nothing to try to stop them!!
This is true in some places, but not everywhere....their regular salary is like $2 an hour...

I agree completely. I was only saying that not all servers are only paid $2 an hour.Regardless of how much they are being paid, if they are not performing the service they are paid to perform, tipping sends the wrong message.

That's what I figured. Just wanted to make sure!Oops, I could have been clearer, Barbara. I was actually answering the earlier post that first mentioned the $2/hr.
